Short answer: 98
Remark

when you have an average of 71, it's like saying that you took 4 quizzes and got 71 on all of them. 
Step One
Find the total point count for the 4 quizzes.
T_4 = 71 * 4 = 284

Step Two
Create an equation that will give you the necessary point count to average 86.

284 + 5*x = 86 * 9
Why did we do this? It is because you have 9 quizzes altogether. All nine must be something that gives a point count of 86 on each quiz.  You have to put together 9 such quizzes with a total count of 774.

Step three 
Solve the equation.
284 + 5x = 774  Subtract 284 from both sides.
5x = 774 - 284
5x = 490   Divide by 5
x = 490/5
x = 98

You must get an average of 98 on the next 5 quizzes

Finger [1]

Answer:

15 sqrt 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

15^2 + 15^2 = c^2

225 + 225 = 450

Find prime factors of the sq rt of 450

450 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval  for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions is (0.5291, 0.6429).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

In a collection of experiments under the same conditions, 44 of 75 mice test positive for lymphadenopathy. This means that n = 75 and \pi = \frac{44}{75} = 0.586.

Compute a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions.

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.586 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.586*0.414}{75}} = 0.5291

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.586 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.586*0.414}{75}} = 0.6429

The 95% confidence interval  for the true proportion of mice that will test positive under similar conditions is (0.5291, 0.6429).
