The population standard deviation for the heights of dogs, in inches, in a city is 3.7 inches. If we want to be 95% confident th

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The minimum sample size that can be taken is of 14 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the minimum sample size to estimate a population mean is given by:

$n=\frac{z^{2}\sigma^{2}}{e^{2}}$

The first step is obtaining the values we're going to use to replace in the formula.

Since we want to be 95% confident, $1-\alpha=0.95 \Rightarrow \alpha=0.05$ .

Therefore we look for the critical value $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$ .

Then we calculate the variance:

$\sigma = 3.7 \Rightarrow \sigma^{2}=13.69$

And we have that:

$e=2 \Rightarrow e^{2}=4$

Now we replace in the formula with the values we've just obtained:

$n=\frac{1.96^{2}*13.69}{4}=13.1479\approx 14$

Therefore the minimum sample size that can be taken to guarantee that the sample mean is within 2 inches of the population mean is of 14 dogs.

The $299.99 of a cell phone Brittany purchesd was on sail for 10% off. What amount did Brittany save?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

10* 299.99=2999.9

2999.9/100=29.999

this would round up to 30, so Brittany saved $30. : )

The points with coordinates (x, -1), (2,2), and (4,3) lie on the same line. What is the value of x?

borishaifa [10]

Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{3-2}{4-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-1-2}{x-2}=\dfrac{-3}{x-2}$

We have the equation:

$\dfrac{-3}{x-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$ cross multiply

$(1)(x-2)=(-3)(2)$

$x-2=-6$ add 2 to both sides

$x=-4$

<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>

Solve the equation. show all work 18^(r-10)=93

Elina [12.6K]

Recall the logarithm rules :

a^y = x is the same as log_a x = y

In this case,

a = 18
y = r - 10
x = 93

So,

18^ (r-10) = 93

is the same as

log_18 93 = r - 10

Solve for r to get :

10 + log_18 93 = r
