SAT scores of students at an Ivy League college are distributed with a standard deviation of 250 points. Two statistics students

, Raina and Luke, want to estimate the average SAT score of students at this college as part of a class project. They want their margin of error to be no more than 25 points.(a) Raina wants to use a 90% condence interval. How large a sample should she collect?Raina should sample at least people.

Answer:

The sample size should be 273 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Raina wants to use 90% interval then

ME = z. SE

SE = s d/√n at end

ME/z   = s d/√n

n={z.sd/ME)²

Z = 1.65    =>due to  90%confidence interval

ME= 24

sd=250

putting these value in the question we get 273 students

The table shows a linear function. <br>which equation represents the function?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The equation f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4 represents the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope intercept form to find the equation of line :

For any two points (x_1, y_1) and  (x_2, y_2) the equation of line is given by:

y -y _1 = m(x-x_1) ......[1] ;where m is the slope given by:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Consider any two points from table :

let (4, 2) and (0, 4) be any two points.

calculate slope:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{4-2}{0-4}

m = \frac{2}{-4} = -\frac{1}{2}

Now, substitute in equation [1]  we have:

y - 2 = -\frac{1}{2} (x-4)

Distributive property i.e,  a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c

y -2 = -\frac{1}{2}x +2

Add both sides 2 we get;

y -2+2 = -\frac{1}{2}x+2+2

Simplify:

y = -\frac{1}{2}x+4

Since, y= f(x)

f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4

therefore, the equation f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4 represents the function.

70 POINTS HELP ME URGENT SHOW YOUR WORK
Feliz [49]

Answer:

A)

x=  the number of ride tickets

y=  the total cost of admission plus how many ride tickets a person purchases

B)

y= 1.25x + 9.5

C)

It is a$1.25 per ticket for the rides at the fair, so it would be 1.25 multiplied by the amount of tickets that are purchased (x). Spencer bought 17 tickets, so 17x1.25= 21.25 and it says that he spent a total of $30.75 at the fair, so 30.75-21.25=9.5, so that means the cost of admission is $9.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps!

I Really Need Help With This Please.
Flura [38]
ABC=DBC

(This will probably be a way more complex explanation than you need but it’s what I did.)

Okay so you know B=B because they’re both right angles. You know A=D because of the isosceles triangle theorem- if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. That leaves C=C. If B=B and A=D and all triangles add up to 180 degrees, C and C need to be the same.

Solve 5 tan x = 5√(3) for 0° ≤ x ≤ 180°.<br><br> a. 60°<br> b. 150°<br> c. 30°<br> d. 120°
ladessa [460]

Answer:

\boxed{a.\:\:\:60\degree}

Step-by-step explanation:


The given trigonometric equation is


5\tan(x)=5\sqrt{3} for 0\degree \le x\le 180\degree.


We divide through by 5 to get;


\tan(x)=\sqrt{3}


We take the inverse tangent of both sides to obtain;


x=tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3})


x=60\degree


Since the tangent ratio is positive, it means x could also be in the 3rd quadrant. But this is outside the given range.


Therefore the correct answer is A
