Answer:

d. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is 4.5

Margin error for the problem is 2 hours

Probability 95%, that means that the siginficance level α is 1 – p

α = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05

margin of error (ME) can be defined as follows

ME = Z(α/2) * standard deviation/ √n

Where n is the sample size

Z(0.05/2) = Z(0.025)

Using a z table Z = 1.96

Now, replacing in the equation and find n

2 = 1.96 * 4.5/ √n

2 = 8.82/√n

√n = 8.82/2

√n = 4.41

n = 4.41^2

n = 19.44 ≈ 20

Write 0.39 as a fraction in simplest form
nika2105 [10]
Here's how to convert 0.39 to a fraction...

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.39 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .39, means.

Since there are 2 digits in 39, the very last digit is the "100th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .39 is the same as 39/100.

So your final answer is: 0.39 can be written as the fraction 39/100 (ALREADY SIMPLIFIED)

ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIST !!!! What is the slope of this table?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer: Slope is m = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-You have exactly four points on a table:

(3,2) (6,4) (9,6) (12,8)

-Use the slope formula and use any two points from those four points in order to find the slope:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

-The two points I use are  (3, 2)  and (6,4 ) for the equation:

m = \frac{4 - 2}{6-3}

m= \frac{2}{3}

So, the slope of the table is \frac{2}{3}.

you are given an 8-gallon jug filled with water and also two empty jugs: one that holds 5 gallons and other that holds 3 gallons
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use following steps to measure exactly 4 gallons of water with the help of 5 gallons and 3 gallons empty jugs.

1). Fill 3 gallons jug completely.

2). Pour this 3 gallons of water into 5 gallons jug. Now we have 3 gallons of water in 5 gallons jug and 3 gallons jug empty.

We can add 2 gallons of water in the empty space of 5 gallons jug more.

3). Fill the 3 gallons jug with the water again.

4). Pour this water into 5 gallons jug which can hold 2 gallons of water more.

Now we have 5 gallons of jug filled fully and 1 gallon water remaining in the 3 gallons jug.

5). Empty the 5 gallons jug completely.

6). Pour the remaining 1 gallon of remaining water in 3 gallons jug into 5 gallons jug.

7). Fill the 3 gallons jug completely and pour it into 5 gallon jug.

8). Finally we have 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallons jug.

I'm confused on this help ??
nika2105 [10]
(2^8 x 3^-5 x 6^0) x [(3^-2/2^3) x 2^28] = x
(256 x .004 x 1) x [(.111/8) x 268,435,456] = x
(1.024 x 1) x .(0138 x 268,435,456) = x
1.024 x (.0138 x 268,435,456) = x
1.024 x 3,704,409.2928 = x
3,793,315.1158272 = x
Correct me if I am wrong. :)
