So for this, you'll be using the pythagorean theorem to solve for the height.

$9^2+b^2=16^2$

Solve the exponents to get $81+b^2=256$

Subtract 81 on each side to get $b^2=175$

Square root each side, and your answer should be $b= \sqrt{175}$ or 13.23 ft

A research group needs to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for all car insurance small claims. From

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) $z = 1.645$

b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$ , which means that the answer of question a is z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?

They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when

$M = 12, \sigma = 124.88$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12 = 1.645*\frac{124.88}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12\sqrt{n} = 205.43$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{205.43}{12}$

$\sqrt{n} = 17.12$

$\sqrt{n}^{2} = (17.12)^{2}$

$n = 293$

The should sample at least 293 small claims.

In the equation 0.75 - 5/8s = 44, how do your combine the like terms?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

and let's then do away with the denominators, by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case, the LCD will be 8, and then we'll combine the like-terms, but anyway, let's proceed.

Find the inverse of the function.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

A) $f^{-1}(n)= (n+2)^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(n) = \sqrt[3]{n} -2$

$y = \sqrt[3]{n} -2$

$y = n^{1/3}-2$

$n = y^{1/3} -2$

$n + 2 = y^{1/3}$

$y = (n + 2) ^3$

$f^{-1}(n) = (n + 2)^3$

Hope this helps!
