Answer:

Option D is correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that an architect's electronic blueprint of a building has a scale of 1 inch equals 12 feet.

To find actual distance between the floor on the first floor and the floor on the 15th floor we will multiply blueprint distance by 12.

$14.375\text{ inches} \cdot 12\frac{\text{ feet}}{\text{ inch}}$

$=172.5\text{ feet}$

Therefore, actual distance between the floor on the first floor and the floor on the 15th floor is 172.5 feet.

Answer:

Option D. 172.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

An architect's electronic blueprint of a building has a scale of 1 inch = 12 feet.

It is given that the distance between first floor and 15th floor = 14.375 inches.

We will make a set up of equal ratio.

$\frac{\text{12 feet}}{\text{1 inches}} = \frac{\text{x feet}}{\text{14.375 inches}}$

x = 14.375 × 12

x = 172.5 feet

Option D. The two floors are 172.5 feet apart.

Answer:

The probabily of P(not less than 6) is

P= the favorable outcomes/ the total outcomes

favorable out come is 1 case(7)

the total outcomes are 5 cases(2,3,5,6)

P=1/5=20%

Whats the ninth term of 25 20 15 10 5

Kaylis [27]

Given:

The sequence is 25, 20, 15, 10, 5.

To find:

The ninth term of the given sequence.

Solution:

We have,

25, 20, 15, 10, 5

It is an AP because the difference between two consecutive terms are same.

Here,

First term (a) = 25

Common difference (d) = 20-25

= -5

The nth terms of an AP is

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

Where, a is the first term and d is the common difference.

Putting a=25, n=9 and d=-5 to get the 9th term.

$a_9=25+(9-1)(-5)$

$a_9=25+(8)(-5)$

$a_9=25-40$

$a_9=-15$

Therefore, the ninth term of the given sequence is -15.

In the decimal system, when we divide a number by 10, the rightmost digit in the number is the remainder. Divide the number 157

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Divide 157 by 10 repeatedly.

This is done as follows...

157 Divided by 10 = 15 Remainder 7

15 Divided by 10 = 1 Remainder 5

1 Divided by 10 = 0 Remainder 1

In order to estimate the difference between the average hourly wages of employees of two branches of a department store, the fol

Julli [10]

Answer:

$0.071,1.928$

Step-by-step explanation:

Downtown Store North Mall Store

Sample size n 25 20

Sample mean $\bar{x}$ $9 $8

Sample standard deviation s $2 $1

$n_1=25\\n_2=20$

$\bar{x_1}=9\\ \bar{x_2}=8$

$s_1=2\\s_2=1$

$x_1-x_2=9-8=1$

Standard error of difference of means = $\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}$

Standard error of difference of means = $\sqrt{\frac{2^2}{25}+\frac{1^2}{20}}$

Standard error of difference of means = $0.458$

Degree of freedom = $\frac{\sqrt{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}})^2}{\frac{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1})^2}{n_1-1}+\frac{(\frac{s_2^2}{n_2})^2}{n_2-1}}$

Degree of freedom = $\frac{\sqrt{(\frac{2^2}{25}+\frac{1^2}{20}})^2}{\frac{(\frac{2^2}{25})^2}{25-1}+\frac{(\frac{1^2}{20})^2}{20-1}}$

Degree of freedom =36

So, z value at 95% confidence interval and 36 degree of freedom = 2.0280

Confidence interval = $(x_1-x_2)-z \times SE(x_1-x_2),(x_1-x_2)+z \times SE(x_1-x_2)$

Confidence interval = $1-(2.0280)\times 0.458,1+(2.0280)\times 0.458$

Confidence interval = $0.071,1.928$

Hence Option A is true

Confidence interval is $0.071,1.928$
