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)

Use complete sentences to describe how measurements of position in two directions (vertical and horizontal) are sufficient enoug
4vir4ik [10]

Essentially, you can always tell a thing's position by 3 coordinates. We also say that our world is three-dimentional: it has three dimensions -that's why three coordinates are needed. If something is on a flat surface, you know its one coordinate (all points on the same surface have the same coordinate) so you only need two more (you can call them vertical and horizontal)

A certain bean plant grows 15% of its height each day today after 10 days the bean plant is 27 inches tall how tall was it yeste
frez [133]
Given:
15% of its height each day
27 inches on day 10.

How tall was it yesterday?

27 represents 115% of the height yesterday. So we divided 27 by 115% to get yesterdays height.

27 ÷ 115% = 23.48 inches.

The plant was 23.48 inches tall yesterday.

To check:
23.48 x 15% = 3.52 inches
23.48 + 3.52 = 27 inches

William wants to keep his debt-to-income ratio at the recommended 15% orlower William's house payment is
3241004551 [841]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  about $171,400

Step-by-step explanation:

William's total monthly debt is ...

  $1012.84 +579.13 +250 +300 = 2141.97

On an annual basis, this is ...

  12 × $2141.97 = $25,703.64

This will be 15% of (25703.64/0.15) = $171,357.60.

William's new annual salary should be about $171,400 to keep his debt ratio at the recommended 15%.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A debt ratio of 15% is a pretty aggressive target. Most mortgage lenders like to see the "front end" ratio (housing expense) less than 28%, and the "back end" ratio (all debt) less than 36%.
