Answer:97 rods

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of steel rods for 95% confidence level

n=\left ( \frac{Z_\frac{\alpha }{2}\times \hat{\sigma }}{E} \right )^2

Z_\frac{\alpha }{2}=1.96

E=3

\hat{\sigma }=15

Substituting values

n=\left ( \frac{1.96\times 15}{3}\right )^2

n=96.04\approx 97

Thus 97 rods is tested

Solve for each variable and tell how you found the value of each.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

A:38 c:54

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, I did the easiest which was a. i found the value of A by subtracting 180 by 142. because a flat line is 180 degrees.

For C, It was more difficult. I subtracted 88 by the value of A, since the value of A is the same as the one next to 88. So I subtracted 126 (88+38) and got 54.  

Fortunately, I couldn't figure out B though, but i think it is a similar answer to c.

The ratio of band students to choir students is 4:6. There are a total of 60 students in the band and choir. How many students a
xenn [34]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The ratio of band students to choir students is 4 : 6.

Total number of students in the band and choir combined = 60

To find:

The number of students in the band = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us understand the meaning of the ratio given.

Ratio of 4 : 6 means there are 4 number of band students for every 6 number of choir students.

Also, number of band students will be in the multiples of 4 only and

number of choir students will be in the multiples of 6 only

Let the total number of band students = 4x

Let the total number of choir students = 6x

Total number of students = 60

As per question statement, we can write the following equation:

\Rightarrow 4x+6x=60\\\Rightarrow 10x = 60\\\Rightarrow x =6

Total number of band students = 4 \times 6 = <em>24</em>
