The city of Austin has a bridge that is famous for housing the largest urban bat colony in the world. It is home to 1.5 million

bats. It has been determined that the bats eat a total of 15 tons of insects a night. If the population of the bats increases to 2 million, about how many insects would they consume?

<u>Answer:</u>

The 2 million bats will consume 20 tons of insects in the city of Austin

<u>Solution:</u>

The population of the bats increases to 2 million in the city of Austin

We have to find about how many insects would they consume?

Now, according to given information  

1.5 million bats ⇒ 15 tons of insects  

Now, 2 million bats ⇒ x tons of insects

Then by chris cross method  

1.5 \times x = 15 \times 2

x \times \frac{15}{10}=15 \times 2

\begin{array}{l}{x \times 15=15 \times 2 \times 10} \\\\ {x=2 \times 10=20}\end{array}

Hence, the 2 million bats will consume 20 tons of insects.

A random sample of 16 one-kilogram sugar packets is obtained and the actual weights of the packets are measured. The sample mean
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight is between 0.882 kg and 1.224 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are in posession of the sample's standard deviation, so we use the student's t-distribution to find the confidence interval.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 16 - 1 = 15

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 35 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.905([tex]t_{995}). So we have T = 2.9467

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.9467*0.058 = 0.171

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.053 - 0.171 = 0.882kg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.053 + 0.171 = 1.224 kg.

The 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight is between 0.882 kg and 1.224 kg.

HELP PLEASE. A pizza shop charges customers based on the area of the pizza they order. The cost of a pizza in dollars can be rep
san4es73 [151]

For this case we have that the cost of each pizza is given by the following function:

S (r) = 0.1 \pi * r ^ 2

Where:

r: It's the radius of the pizza

IF a pizza cost $26.32 we have:

26.32 = 0.1 \pi * r ^ 2

We cleared the radius, using \pi = 3.14:

\frac {26.32} {0.1} = \pi * r ^ 2\\263.2 = 3.14r ^ 2\\\frac {263.2} {3.14} = r ^ 2\\83.82 = r ^ 2\\r = \pm \sqrt {83.82}

We choose the positive value:

r = 9.15

So, the radius of the pizza is 9.16 \ in

Then, the diameter is: 2r = 2 * 9.15 = 18.30 \ in

Finally, the diameter of the pizza is:18.30 \ in

Answer:

Option B

Help me please ASAP. I really need this
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think this can be done without the diagram. You do not know what HD is opposite. I will take a guess that it is opposite TU which makes TU = 220 because both H and D are midpoints and that makes TU twice as large as HD.

If this is incorrect, post the diagram.

The simplified form of (xm)(xm)(xm)(xm)(xm)(xm)(xm) is
Kay [80]
I'm not sure why options a. and d. are the same, but you would simply count the number of times x and m appear, while being multiplied together, and multiply the product of xm by that number. in this case, the number is 7, so you should get 7(xm) or 7xm.

For figure ABCDEF shown here, identify the image after a reflection across the line connecting the
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The image will be DCBAFE

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon with six sides is called a hexagon

In this question first identify the midpoints of BC and EF using perpendicular bisector.

This should be followed by joining the two midpoints with a straight edge to draw the mirror line.

The  points above the mirror line F,A and B will be reflected below the mirror line.The points below the mirror line C,D and E will be reflected above the mirror line.

The image will be DCBAFE
