US consumers are increasingly using debit cards as a substitute for cash and checks. From a sample of 100 consumers, the average

amount annually spent on debit cards is $7,790. Assume that this average was based on a sample of 100 consumers and that the population standard deviation is $500.
A. At 99% confidence, what is the margin of error?
B. Construct the 99% confidence interval for the population mean amount spent annually on a debit card.

Answer:

A. Margin of error = 128.79

B. The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (7661.21, 7918.79).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is know and is σ=500.

The sample mean is M=7790.

The sample size is N=100.

As σ is known, the standard error of the mean (σM) is calculated as:

$\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{500}{\sqrt{100}}=\dfrac{500}{10}=50$

The z-value for a 99% confidence interval is z=2.576.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=z\cdot \sigma_M=2.576 \cdot 50=128.79$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 7790-128.79=7661.21\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 7790+128.79=7918.79$

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (7661.21, 7918.79).

If sin theta = (4)/(7), theta in quadrant II, find the exact value of (a) cos theta (b) sin (theta + (pi) / (6) ) (c) cos (the

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

a) $\cos(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt[]{33}}{7}$

b) $\sin(\theta + \frac{\pi}{6})\frac{-3\sqrt[]{11}+4}{14}$

c) $\cos(\theta-\pi)=\frac{\sqrt[]{33}}{7}$

d) $\tan(\theta + \frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\frac{-4}{\sqrt[]{33}}+1}{1+\frac{4}{\sqrt[]{33}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the following trigonometric identities

$\sin(\alpha+\beta) = \sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta)+\cos(\alpha)\sin(\beta)$

$\cos(\alpha+\beta) = \cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta)-\sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta)$ $\tan(\alpha+\beta) = \frac{\tan(\alpha)+\tan(\beta)}{1-\tan(\alpha)\tan(\beta)}$ .

Recall that given a right triangle, the sin(theta) is defined by opposite side/hypotenuse. Since we know that the angle is in quadrant 2, we know that x should be a negative number. We will use pythagoras theorem to find out the value of x. We have that

$x^2+4^2 = 7 ^2$

which implies that $x=-\sqrt[]{49-16} = -\sqrt[]{33}$ . Recall that cos(theta) is defined by adjacent side/hypotenuse. So, we know that the hypotenuse is 7, then

$\cos(\theta) = \frac{-\sqrt[]{33}}{7}$

b)Recall that $\sin(\frac{\pi}{6}) =\frac{1}{2} , \cos(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}$ , then using the identity from above, we have that

$\sin(\theta + \frac{\pi}{6}) = \sin(\theta)\cos(\frac{\pi}{6})+\cos(\alpha)\sin(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{4}{7}\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt[]{33}}{7}\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2} = \frac{-3\sqrt[]{11}+4}{14}$

c) Recall that $\sin(\pi)=0, \cos(\pi)=-1$ . Then,

$\cos(\theta-\pi)=\cos(\theta)\cos(\pi)+\sin(\theta)\sin(\pi) = \frac{-\sqrt[]{33}}{7}\cdot(-1) + 0 = \frac{\sqrt[]{33}}{7}$

d) Recall that $\tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) = 1$ and $\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}=\frac{-4}{\sqrt[]{33}}$ . Then

$\tan(\theta+\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\tan(\theta)+\tan(\frac{\pi}{4})}{1-\tan(\theta)\tan(\frac{\pi}{4})} = \frac{\frac{-4}{\sqrt[]{33}}+1}{1+\frac{4}{\sqrt[]{33}}}$

Saquina dilates a digital photograph by a factor of 1.75 to create a new digital photograph similar to her original photograph.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer

Perimeter = 1.75 times larger

Area = 3.0625 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original quadrilateral have sides of a, b, c, d

Perimeter of the New Photograph

Then the perimeter of the original is P = (a + b + c + d)
Now the perimeter of the new quad is P = 1.75a + 1.75b + 1.75c + 1.75d
Using the distributive Property we get P = 1.75(a + b + c + d) So the new perimeter is 1.75*the old perimeter.

Area of the New Photograph

The area is a little harder. Suppose the Old figure had an Area found by the formula of

Area = e * f Each measurement is increased by a factor of 1.75
Area_new = 1.75e * 1.75f
Area_new = 3.0625 * e * f
Area_new = 3.0625 * old area
