Divide 10 actual miles by 1.2 miles:

10 / 1.2 = 8.333

multiply that by 3 inches:

8.333 x 3 = 25

10 miles would be 25 inches on the map.

Answer: 25 inches on the map represent 10 actual miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to express the information given in ratios:

3 inches represent 1.2 miles = 3/12

x inches represent 10 miles= x/10

Since the ratios are the same

3/1.2 = x/10

Solving for x

(3/1.2) 10 = x

25 inches =x

25 inches on the map represent 10 actual miles.

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the mean value from the random number generator is a lower limit of 85.87 and an upper limit of 110.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval = mean +/- margin of error (E)

mean = 98.4

sd = 16.3

n = 15

degree of freedom (df) = n - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14

confidence level (C) = 99% = 0.99

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01 = 1%

t-value corresponding to 14 df and 1% significance level is 2.977.

E = t×sd/√n = 2.977×16.3/√15 = 12.53

Lower limit = mean - E = 98.4 - 12.53 = 85.87

Upper limit = mean + E = 98.4 + 12.53 = 110.93

99% confidence interval for the mean is between 85.87 and 110.93

AREA ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION URGENT?

Novay_Z [31]

The area of shaded region is

$A_{shaded}=A_{circle}-A_{segment}$ .

Find the area of circle and segment:

$A_{circle}=\pi r^2=\pi (8.35)^2=69.7225\pi=219.0397,\\ A_{segment}=A_{sector}-A_{triangle},\\ \\A_{sector}=\dfrac{r^2 \alpha}{2} =\dfrac{(8.35)^2\cdot \frac{5}{9}\pi}{2}=19.3674\pi=60.8445,\\ \\A_{triangle}=\dfrac{1}{2}r^2\sin \alpha=\dfrac{1}{2}(8.35)^2\sin 100^{\circ}=34.3316,\\ \\A_{segment}=60.8445-34.3316=26.5129$ .

Then $A_{shaded}=A_{circle}-A_{segment} =219.0397-26.5129=192.5268$ .

The area of shaded region rounded to the nearest tenth is 192.5 sq. ft.

Answer: 192.5 sq. ft.
