When the sample size and sample standard deviation remain the same, a 99% confidence interval for a population mean, µ will be n

A 99% confidence interval will be wider compared to a 95% confidence interval. This is because while you don't know what the true value of mu is, you are more confident that the parameter is in the interval.

In essence, you are casting a wider net which leads to the higher level of confidence. Imagine if there was a 100 mile stretch of straight land, and somewhere on this line was a special rock that you are looking for. You would be 100% confident if you said "the rock is somewhere on that piece of land", and less confident the more you shrunk the interval.

A private airplane leaves an airport and flies due east at 192 km/hr. Two hours later, a jet leaves the same airport and flies d
elixir [45]
The answer is 0.5 hours.

A velocity (v) of an object is a distance (d) divided by time (t):
v = d ÷ t                         ⇒                  t = d ÷ v

It is given:
v1 = 192 km/h
v2 = 960 km/h
t1 - t2 = 2h
We need to calculate t2.

Since they will travel the same distance before the jet overtakes the plane, we can say that d1 = d2 = d

Now, let's express t1 and t2:
t1 = d/192
t2 = d/960

Therefore: d/192 - d/960 = 2
The least common denominator is 960, so:
5d/960 - d/960 = 2
4d/960 = 2
4d = 2 · 960
4d = 1920
d = 1920 ÷ 4 = 480 km

Now t2 = d/960 = 480/960 = 0.5 hours.

What is the area of a rectangle with length 8 1/2 and width 6 inches
likoan [24]
A = 1/2 (l × w)
A = 1/2 (8 1/2 × 6)
A = 1/2 (17/2 ×12/2)
A = 1/2 (204/4)
A = 1/2 (51)
A = 25 1/2  OR  25.5 in

-0.312 as a fraction in simplest form
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

It's -39/125

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

Multiply to remove 3 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 103 = 1000

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 312 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 8

Therefore

X=39/125

In conclusion,

−0.312=−39/125
