Answer:

Radius is 2.18

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the surface area of sphere 60 square feet

And formula for area of sphere is $4{\pi}r^2$

using ${\pi}=3.14$

On substituting the values $60=4\cdot 3.14\cdot r^2$ we get:

$60=4\cdot 3.14\cdot r^2$

On simplification we get:

$4.77= r^2$

$\sqrt{4.77}= r$

$2.18= r$

Simplify -4 + (-3) + 6

Sedaia [141]

Start off with: -4 + (-3) + 6

First of all, when there is a, + sign and a - sign next to each other, the - side wins. E.g. 1 +- 3 = 1 - 3

So, apply this to our one:
-4 -3 +6

From there you solve, you can do this using the number line method or whatever you are into:
=-7 + 6
=-1
The answer is -1

A triangle has an area of 10 square feet. The height is 5 feet. What is the length of the base (in feet)?

Nady [450]

Answer:

4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

$A=\frac{1}{2} bh$

A=10 h=5

$10=\frac{1}{2} b(5)\\$

20=5b (multiply both sides by 2)

4=b (divide by 5)

A sociologist develops a test to measure attitudes towards public transportation, and 27 randomly selected subjects are given th

taurus [48]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 2.0518
