<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u><em>As a percent, the odds of having an allergic reaction would be 2%.</em></u>

This is because 1 in 50 of a chance, is equal to 1/50, and to make this a percent out of 100, just multiply both parts of the fraction by 2.

None of the choices equal 1/50, so let's just make it a percentage anyway.

1/50 ---> 0.02

0.02 ---> 2%

<em>The answer is 2%, or 1/50 as a fraction.</em>

Use the standard normal distribution or the t-distribution to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Jus

vichka [17]

Answer:

(25.732,30.868)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a random sample of 42 people, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.3 and the standard deviation was 6.09.

Since only sample std deviation is known we can use only t distribution

Std error = $\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } =\frac{6.09}{\sqrt{42} } \\=0.9397$

$df = 42-1 =41$

t critical for 99% two tailed $= 2.733$

Margin of error $= 2.733*0.9397=2.568$

Confidence interval lower bound = $28.3-2.568=25.732$

Upper bound = $28.3+2.568=30.868$

At what value of x does the graph of the following function F(x) have a vertical asymptote? F(x) = 4x/3x-6

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

vertical asymptote at x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

3x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 2 ← is the vertical asymptote

Your family is putting in a rectangular pool in the back yard. The pool's perimeter equals 28 feet. The contractor want the leng

meriva

Answer:

2.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimter= 28ft

W= x ft

L= 3x+5

but

P=2L+2W

substitute

28=2*(3x+5)+2x

28=6x+10+2x

collet like terms

28=8x+10

28-10= 8x

18=8x

divide both sides by 8

x= 18/8

x=2.25 ft

Hence the width is 2.25 ft
