Answer: the correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find 95% confidence interval for the mean of the weight of pretzels.

Number of samples. n = 15 bags

Mean, u = 10.2

Standard deviation, s = 0.25

We will use the t- test

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 15 - 1= 14

Alpha, a = (1-confidence interval )/2

a = (1-0.95)/2 = 0.025

Looking at the t-distribution table, the corresponding z value is 2.131

Confidence interval = z × standard deviation/√n

Confidence interval = 2.131 × 0.25/√15

Confidence interval = 0.13755545851

Approximately 0.138

At 95% confidence interval,

The lower end is 10.2 - 0.138 = 10.062 Approximately 10.06

The upper end is 10.2 - 0.138 = 10.338. Approximately 10.34

Find the perimeter of a square with side a. Are the perimeter of the square and the length of its side directly proportional qua
inna [77]

The perimeter of a square with side a = 7.2 cm is 28.8 cm. Yes there exists a direct proportional relationship between Side length and Perimeter of square

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that side of square "a" = 7.2 cm

We have to find the perimeter of square

<em><u>The perimeter of square is given as:</u></em>

Perimeter of square = 4a

Where "a" represents the length of side of square

Substituting the given value a = 7.2 cm in above formula, we get perimeter of square

Perimeter of square = 4(7.2) = 28.8 cm

<em><u>Are the perimeter of the square and the length of its side directly proportional quantities?</u></em>

\begin{array}{l}{\text { perimeter of square }=4 a=4 \times \text { length of side }} \\\\ {\frac{\text { perimeter of square }}{\text { length of side }}=4}\end{array}

The Perimeter is equal to a constant times the Side length, or the Perimeter divided by the Side length is equal to four. So this is definitely a proportional relationship between Side length and Perimeter.

Two values are said to be in direct proportion when an increase in one results in an increase in the other.

So when length of sides increases, perimeter also increases

Hence perimeter and length of side of square are directly propotional quantities

ki77a [65]

Answer:

the equation is x= 2908

Step-by-step explanation:

What is m in 1/3m = -4
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

m=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

1  / 3 m= −4

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3.

3*( 1  / 3 m) = (3) * (−4)

m=−12
