Sample size= n= 84
sample mean= x = 107 s
population standard deviation =σ= 11.7

As, population standard deviation is given so we use the estimate:
                             x(+/-) z(α/2)(σ/√n)

At 99% Confidence interval means significance level is α=1-0.99= 0.01
So,
α/2=0.005
Now, z at α/2=0.005 
z= 2.576
Now, by putting values 
                               107(+/-)((2.576)(11.7/√84)) 
              ( 107-((2.576)(11.7/√84)), 107+((2.576)(11.7/√84))  )    
               (103.7, 110.288)

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 2 1/2
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

It will travel

33 \frac{1}{4}  \: miles

in 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using proportions.

\frac{ 2\frac{1}{2} \: miles}{ 3\frac{1}{3} \: minutes}  =  \frac{x}{45 \: minutes} \\  \\  \frac{ 3\frac{1}{3} x}{ 3\frac{1}{3} }  =   \frac{ 112\frac{1}{2} }{ 3\frac{1}{3} }    \\  \\  x = 33\frac{3}{4}

In 2000, the population of Big Springs was 13 thousand. Use the given doubling
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The answer is "26179.4".

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume year 2000 as t, that is  t =0.

Formula:

A= A_0e^{rt}

Where,

A_0 = \ initial \ pop \\\\r= \ rate \ in \ decimal \\\\t= \ time \ in \ year

for doubling time,

r = \frac{log (2)}{t} \\

r = \frac{\log (2)}{ 40} \\\\r= \frac{0.301}{40}\\\\r= 0.007

Given value:

A = A_0e^{rt} \\\\

A_0 = 13000

t= 40 \ years

when year is 2000, t=0 so, year is 2100 year as t = 100.

A = 13000 \times e^{et}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{e \times t}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{0.007 \times 100}\\\\A = 13000 \times e^{0.7}\\\\A= 13000\times 2.0138\\\\A = 26179.4
