Answer: $1117.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount predicted by Economist =$1180

Let x be the amount spent by Americans on Summer vacation in 2014.

Therefore,  According to the question, we have

5.6% of x+x=1180

\Rightarrow0.056\timesx+x=1180\\\Rightarrow x(0.056+1)=1180\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{1180}{1.056}=1117.42\approx

Hence, the amount spent by Americans on Summer vacation in 2014 = $1117.42

Answer:

130 total people

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the ratio of woman to men is 8 to 5, and there are 50 men, so you do 50 divided by 5 to get you 10, then multiply 10 by 8 which gets you 80 women, 50+80=130. :)

A physicist examines 25 water samples for nitrate concentration. The mean nitrate concentration for the sample data is 0.165 cc/
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the the population mean nitrate concentration is (0.144, 0.186).

Critical value t=1.318

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 80% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=0.165.

The sample size is N=25.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{0.078}{\sqrt{25}}=\dfrac{0.078}{5}=0.016

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=25-1=24

The t-value for a 80% confidence interval and 24 degrees of freedom is t=1.318.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s_M=1.318 \cdot 0.016=0.021

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 0.165-0.021=0.144\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 0.165+0.021=0.186

The 80% confidence interval for the population mean nitrate concentration is (0.144, 0.186).

Answer:

The possible rational roots are: +1, -1 ,+3, -3, +9, -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rational Root Theorem tells us that the possible rational roots of the polynomial are given by all possible quotients formed by factors of the constant term of the polynomial (usually listed as last when written in standard form), divided by possible factors of the polynomial's leading coefficient. And also that we need to consider both the positive and negative forms of such quotients.

So we start noticing that since the leading term of this polynomial is x^3, the leading coefficient is "1", and therefore the list of factors for this is: +1, -1

On the other hand, the constant term of the polynomial is "9", and therefore its factors to consider are: +1, -1 ,+3, -3, +9, -9

Then the quotient of possible factors of the constant term, divided by possible factor of the leading coefficient gives us:

+1, -1 ,+3, -3, +9, -9

And therefore, this is the list of possible roots of the polynomial.
