why is 0.5% not equal to 1/2?

2 answers:

7 0

It is not equal to 1/2 because .5% is indeed a percent, and therefore a fraction of 100. If you were to rewrite .5% as a fraction, you would write it as 5/100, which simplifies to 1/20, which is nowhere near 1/2. 50% or .5 would be equal to 1/2.

because 1/2 is equal to 50%

0.5≠50

How can u solve y= -x -4 if I don't know my given intercepts

lukranit [14]

To solve you would use the equation y=mx=b .
y is how far line goes up, x is how for along , m is the slope and b is where the line crosses the yaxis.
slope: -1
x-intercept ; -4
y-intercept : -4

When consumers apply for credit, their credit is rated using FICO (Fair, Isaac, and Company) scores. Credit ratings are given be

Flura [38]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (589.588;731.038)

b) If we see the confidence interval the 620 is included on the interval we don't have enough evidence to reject the rating is 620. But since we need a score that at least 620 and our lower limit is 589.588 we cant conclude that all the clients would have a score that at least of 620.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The data is:

661 595 548 730 791 678 672 491 492 583 762 624 769 729 734 706

Part a

Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation.

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we need to have on mind the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$

=AVERAGE(661, 595, 548, 730, 791, 678, 672, 491 ,492, 583, 762 ,624 ,769, 729, 734, 706)

On this case the average is $\bar X= 660.313$

=STDEV.S(661, 595, 548, 730, 791, 678, 672, 491 ,492, 583, 762 ,624 ,769, 729, 734, 706)

The sample standard deviation obtained was s=95.898

Find the critical value t* Use the formula for a CI to find upper and lower endpoints

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that our sample size n =16<30 and on this case we don't know about the population standard deviation, so on this case we need to use the t distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=16-1=15$

We can find the critical values in excel using the following formulas:

"=T.INV(0.005,15)" for $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.95$

"=T.INV(1-0.005,15)" for $t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.95$

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

And if we find the limits we got:

$660.313- 2.95\frac{95.898}{\sqrt{16}}=589.588$

[tex]660.313+ 2.95\frac{95.898}{\sqrt{16}}=731.038/tex]

So the 99% confidence interval would be given by (589.588;731.038)

Part b

If we see the confidence interval the 620 is included on the interval we don't have enough evidence to reject the rating is 620. But since we need a score that at least 620 and our lower limit is 589.588 we cant conclude that all the clients would have a score that at least of 620.

What is the measurement of BC to the nearest centimeter?

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

a 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given two sides and the included angle. Since you don't have any side and the opposite angle, you must use the law of cosines.

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc\cos A$
