Answer:

Jenna is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that is what you meant.

Jenna is correct .

The square root of 4 ( = 2) is rational but,

for example,  2 is a rational number but the square root of 2 is irrational. Try finding the square root of 2 on your calculator. Your answer will be something like 1.414213562 but  that decimal fraction goes on without bounds. No calculator will ever have enough memory to store that number!!

(c) a farm brings 15 tons of watermelon to market. find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean cash value of this cro
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

First we need to name some of the variables we are given:n = 38 the sample sizex = 6.88 the sample mean = 1.86 the population standard deviationWe need to find a 90% confidence interval for the mean price per 100 lbs of watermelon: = 1-.90 = .10/2 = .05z(/2) = -1.64-z(/2) = 1.64This can give us a probability expression:P(-1.645 < z < 1.645) = .90The margin of error is calculated with the formula: E = z(/2)(/√n)E = 1.645(1.86/√38) = $.4963(300) = $148.89   Then to calculate the upper and lower limit we add and subtract E from x:lower limit = 6.88 - .4963 = $7.38(300) = $2214upper limit = 6.88 + .4963 = $6.38(300) = $1914Note: We multiply the E, upper and lower limits by 300 because 15 tons is 30000lbs and we need the price per 100 lbs, so we divide 30000/100 and get 300.

Two groups of students were asked how far they lived from their school. The table below shows the distances in miles:
pychu [463]

Answer:

C. The value for Group A is double the value for Group B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add all the numbers from each group.

A: The distance in total is 39.06

B: The distance in total is 19.53

To find the mean, which is another way of saying the average, you divide the sum with how many numbers there are. (hope this makes sense, I suck at wording)

A: There are 9 numbers in total, hence, 39.06/9 = 4.34

B: There are 9 numbers in total, hence, 19.53/9 = 2.17

Those are the mean distance for the two groups.

2.17 * 2 = 4.34

Hence, C (third statement)

Karolina [17]
The student is correct. Due to the meaning of perimeter which is all sides added up to make a number total, it is possible for a square and a rectangle to have the same perimeter if the numbers add up.

Find the Value of PT. PT=4x-6 and TQ=3x+4
barxatty [35]
We can find the value of PT from given information 
PT = 4x - 6 and TQ = 3x + 4
if PT = TQ
4x - 6 = 3x + 4
4x - 3x = 4 + 6
x = 10
now put the value of x into PT = 4x - 6
PT = 4 (10) - 6
=40 - 6
PT = 34
The value of PT = 34

A particular battery claims to have a mean life of 400 hours with a standard deviation of 30 hours. Approximately what percent o
Svetach [21]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 25.14% of the batteries will last more than 420 hours.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem, we have that the mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

\mu = 400, \sigma = 30.

The proportion of the batteries will last more than 420 hours is <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 420</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{420 - 400}{30}

Z = 0.67

Z = 0.67 has a p-value of 0.7486.

1 - 0.7486 = 0.2514.

0.2514 = 25.14% of the batteries will last more than 420 hours.
