Answer: 37

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given description in the question, we have

Population standard deviation : \sigma=2.6\text{ miles per gallon}

Critical value for 98% confidence interval = z_{\alpha/2}=2.33

Margin of error : E= 1 mile per gallon

Formula we use to find the sample size :

n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma}{E})^2

i.e. n=(\dfrac{(2.33)\cdot(2.6)}{1})^2

\Rightarrow\ n=36.699364\approx37

Therefore , the number of automobiles should be used in the test =37

Explain how the number line can
DochEvi [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  points closest to zero will give the least change; those farthest away will give the greatest change. Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of change is the absolute value of the number on the number line. That value is the (positive) distance from 0. The numbers will most easily be compared if they are all put on one side of zero. For example, -1.75 and 1.75 are the same distance from zero, as are -3.25 and 3.25.

Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change. In order, least change to greatest change, the numbers are ...

  -1.75, 2.50, -3.25, -3.50, 4.75

What's the like terms for ; 7(d-1) + 2 , and the answer being simplified?
Lyrx [107]

Answer: Like terms are -7 and 2. Simplified version would be 7d-5.

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would distribute, so it would be 7(d-1)+2 = 7d-7+2. Combine like terms. The only like terms here are -7 and 2, so just basically subtract -7 from 2 and you would get -5. you can't do anything with 7d because there is no like term for it.
