The company charges $1.40 per mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of 6.5 miles ride = $12.00

Cost of 9 mile ride = $15.50

Let,

x be the cost per mile.

y be the pick up fee.

Total cost = Cost per mile*distance + pick up fee

According to statement;

6.5x+y=12.00    Eqn 1

9x+y=15.50       Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

(9x+y)-(6.5x+y)=15.50-12.00\\9x+y-6.5x-y=3.50\\2.5x=3.50

Dividing both sides by 2.50

\frac{2.50x}{2.50}=\frac{3.50}{2.50}\\x=1.40

The company charges $1.40 per mile.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

n=(\frac{1.960(80)}{25})^2 =246.73 \approx 247

So the answer for this case would be n=247 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the standard deviation is :

\sigma = 80 represent the deviation

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =25 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution and the critical value would be z_{\alpha/2}=1.960, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.960(80)}{25})^2 =246.73 \approx 247

So the answer for this case would be n=247 rounded up to the nearest integer
