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)

8% as a fraction in simplest form
masha68 [24]

Answer: 2/25

Step-by-step explanation:

8% means 8/100

To reduce to the simplest fraction, divide through with a common factor of 4

Divide numerator by 4 = 2

Divide denominator by 4 = 25

Therefore, 8% = 2/25

I hope this helps.

a store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. for 3 pounds of chocolate chips and 5 pounds of walnuts the total cost
Delvig [45]
If you set you the equations such as 3c+5w=23 and 6c+2w=20 and then solve the first equation for c, you get c= (23-5w)/3 Taking that equation and substituting it for 'c' in the second equation (so the second equation becomes: 6((23-5w)/3)+2w=20  ) you get w=3.25 If you plug that back into your first equation (so it now becomes: 3c+5(3.25)=23 ) you get c=2.25 So the answer would be walnuts cost $3.25 per lb and choc. chips cost $2.25 per lb.

How do you do this the test is tomorrow and I forgot how to do this?
MrRa [10]
Some things you need to know:

1) You need to know how to convert standard form to slope y-int. form and slope y-int. form to standard form.

2) When two lines are parallel, the slopes are the same.

3) When two lines are perpendicular, the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. (Or their product is -1)
    example: 3/4 --> -4/3.
                    3/4 * -4/3 = -12/12 = -1

4) To find the value of b, substitute the point into the equation.

5) Convert the equation to slope y-int. form to find the slope.

6) When a line has an undefined slope, the slope y-int. will look either like
    y = __ (forms horizontal line) or x = __ (forms vertical line).
    To find the perpendicular of these lines, turn y to x / x to y.
    To find the value of __, look at the point located in the line, so if x = ___
    passes through (5,3), then x = 5 because x = 5 in the point. So the
    equation would be x = 5.

Use online practice tests and other sources if you don't understand.
