A research group needs to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for all car insurance small claims. From

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) $z = 1.645$

b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$ , which means that the answer of question a is z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?

They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when

$M = 12, \sigma = 124.88$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12 = 1.645*\frac{124.88}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12\sqrt{n} = 205.43$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{205.43}{12}$

$\sqrt{n} = 17.12$

$\sqrt{n}^{2} = (17.12)^{2}$

$n = 293$

The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Sara is working on a Geometry problem in her Algebra class. The problem requires Sara to use the two quadrilaterals below to ans

zloy xaker [14]

Part A:

Given a square with sides 6 and x + 4. Also, given a rectangle with sides 2 and 3x + 4

The perimeter of the square is given by 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(2) + 2(3x + 4) = 4 + 6x + 8 = 6x + 12

For the perimeters to be the same

4x + 16 = 6x + 12
4x - 6x = 12 - 16
-2x = -4
x = -4 / -2 = 2

The value of x that makes the <span>perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same is 2.

Part B:

The area of the square is given by

$Area=(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16$

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8

For the areas to be the same

$x^2+8x+16=6x+8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+8x-6x+16-8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+2x+8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(8)}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-32}}{2} = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{-28}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm2i\sqrt{7}}{2} =-1\pm i\sqrt{7}$

Thus, there is no real value of x for which the area of the quadrilaterals will be the same.

A rectangular pyramid has a base area of 24in² and a volume of 48in³. What is the height of the pyramid?

alexgriva [62]

height of pyramid = 3*(V/A)

V=48in^3

A=24in^2

So 3*(48/24) = 3*2=6
