Answer:

CI = 21 ± 0.365

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is:

CI = x ± SE * CV

where x is the sample mean, SE is the standard error, and CV is the critical value (either t score or z score).

Here, x = 21.

The standard error for a sample mean is:

SE = σ / √n

SE = 3.2 / √510

SE = 0.142

The critical value is looked up in a table or found with a calculator.  But first, we must find the alpha level and the critical probability.

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

p* = 1 - (α/2) = 1 - (0.01/2) = 0.995

Using a calculator or a z-score table:

P(x<z) = 0.995

z = 2.576

Therefore:

CI = 21 ± 0.142 × 2.576

CI = 21 ± 0.365

Round as needed.

The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was to . If there were 12,7
Sever21 [200]

Answer: The question is incomplete

Step-by-step explanation: The answer to this question cannot be determined correctly since an important detail is missing.

However, let me explain how you would normally go about it by using an example of mine. If for example the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 8 to 5, and the question requires you to calculate how many yes votes were there as indicated in your question, then the first step would be to find the total number of both sides of the ratio. That is add 8 to 5 which gives you 13. This means if there was a total of 13 votes cast, every yes vote stands for 8 out of 13 votes and every no vote stands for 5 out of 13 votes.

To express it mathematically, every yes vote would be 8/13 of the total (12779) and every no vote would be 5/13 of the total (12779).

Therefore to determine how many yes votes there was, is calculated as follows;

Let yes votes be y and no votes be x'

y = (8/13) * 12779

y = 102232/13

y = 7864

<em>Based on my example that the ratio of yes votes to no votes is 8 to 5, </em>

Then the number of yes votes was 7,864.

Which number line shows the solution to the inequality 8x – 9 &lt; –41?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the inequality, you want to simplify it to get x on one side, and the numeric values on the other.

So, moving 9 to the other side, you get, 8x<-32

Then, you can divide by 8 on both sides to get x alone.

You get, x<-4.

From this, we can see that it should be an open dot at -4, and pointing to the left.

So, the correct number line is A.
