The ball used in a soccer game may not weigh more than 16 ounces or less

1 answer:

3 0

In order for the ball to be used in the game, it must be able to meet the minimum and maximum weight requirements. These are the limits of the weight of the ball. If it exceeds the maximum limit of 16 ounces or below the minimum limit of 14 ounces, the ball will not be approved.

So, by adding 1.5 ounces, that would mean that the initial weight of the ball did not reach the minimum limit. The initial weight of the ball, denoted as x, have two possible values. The first value is the initial weight plus added with 1.5 ounces would reach 14 ounces.

x + 1.5 = 14
x = 12.5 ounces

The other scenario is when the initial weight is added to reach the maximum requirement of 16 ounces

x + 1.5 = 16
x = 14.5 ounces

From both answer, we could conclude that the initial weight has to be 12.5 ounces. If the initial weight were 14.5 ounces to begin with, there should be no need for air. It cans till be approved to be used.

Answer:

[ 0.4964, 0.5836 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total sample size = 500

person voting for smith = 270

thus,

P( person voting for smith ), p = $\frac{270}{500}$ = 0.54

Confidence level = 95%

now,

standard error, SE = $\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}$

SE = $\sqrt{\frac{0.54(1-0.54)}{500}$

SE = 0.0223

now,

Confidence interval = p ± ( z × SE )

here,

z value for 95% confidence interval is 1.96

Confidence interval = [ 0.54 - ( 1.96 × 0.0223 ), 0.54 + ( 1.96 × 0.0223 ) ]

= [ 0.54 - 0.0436 , 0.54 + 0.0436 ]

= [ 0.4964, 0.5836 ]

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

job A

Step-by-step explanation:

job B pays $34560 yearly because every since it pays $720 weekly and there are 48 weeks in a year $720 multiplied by 48 is $34560. Job C pays $37440 because there are 12 months in a year and semimonthly means two times per month so 12 times 2 times $1560 give you $37440. Therefore job A pays the most amount per year.
