Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an advisor to the mayor of a large city wants to estimate, within 3 minutes, the mean travel time to work for all employees who work within the city limits.

Let X be the random variable denoting the time for employees to travel within city limit

Std dev of X = 12.25 minutes

For 95% confidence interval Z critical 1.96 is used because population std dev is known

Margin of error = 1.96*std error = 3 (given)

i.e. 1.96(\frac{12.25}{\sqrt{n} } )=3

where n is the desired sample size.

Simplify to get

\frac{24.01}{\sqrt{n} } =3\\n=64.053

Hence atleast 64 employees should he poll

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find total area - 37 x 46 = 1,702

Find area of patio and garden - 16 x 10 = 160 for the patio, 12 x 5 = 60 for the garden

Subtract from total area - 1702 - 160 = 1542, 1542 - 60 = 1,482 sq ft

Answer:

y= 3 when x= 0

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

in the problem, there's a patten in the difference of X and Y,

at first, Y is 3 more than X (2 and 5)

then y is 4 more, 5 more, and 6 more.

y goes up by 1 each time

so if Y is 5 when X is 2, then when X is 1 Y is 4

when X is 0 Y is 3
