There are 8760 hours in a year so if you divide 31,000 by 8760 hours you should get 3.5 as your answer

Work out the number of hours in  1 year:-

1 year = 365*24 = 8760

So the number dying each hour = 31,000 / 8760 = 3.54

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard devia
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (3)

n=(\frac{2.58(54.5)}{5})^2 =790.846 \approx 791

So the answer for this case would be n=791 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of \alpha=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=2.58

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (2)

And on this case we have that ME =+5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (2) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (3)

n=(\frac{2.58(54.5)}{5})^2 =790.846 \approx 791

So the answer for this case would be n=791 rounded up to the nearest integer

Classify the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse based on the side lengths of 8, 11, and 14.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

8^2+11^2=14^2\\64+121=196\\185=196

Since the hypotenuse is bigger, the triangle is obtuse

Zolol [24]
You are given Kayla's walking distance along the edge of the river 100 ft and marks point C, then she walks 100 ft further and marks point D and she turns 90° and walks until her location, point A, and point C are collinear. She marks point E at this location. ABC and EDC are congruent. thats just what i think it is tho

A = s^2
A' = 2s*s'

When the area is 36 cm^2, the side (s) is 6 cm. The area is increasing at the rate
A' = 2(6 cm)*(6 cm/s) = 72 cm^2/s
