Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the adult weight of puppy B

75% of x =8 pounds

$\frac{75}{100}*x=8\\\\x=\frac{8*100}{75}\\\\x=\frac{8*4}{3}\\\\=\frac{32}{3}\\\\x=10.67pounds$

A right triangle has a base of 11 yards and a height of 7 yards . If you were to construct a similar but not congruent right tri

Dimas [21]

Answer:

bae of 44 yds and a height of 28 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

11x7 = 88 yd^2 = area of small triangle

616/88 = 16 so the larger triangle area is 16 times larger than the smaller triangle.

The area of a triangle is not proportional to it's dimensions. An increase of 16 times the area only increases the dimensions by 4 times.

larger triangle dimensions are 11 x 4 = 44 and 7 x 4 = 28

In an examination of purchasing patterns of shoppers, a sample of 16 shoppers revealed that they spent, on average, $54 per hour

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$54-1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=45.39$

$54 +1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=62.61$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (45.39;62.61)

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".

$\bar X=54$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=21$ represent the sample standard deviation

n=16 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 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
