Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that Bill bought 38 1/2 feet of wire. Convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

The length L1 = 77/2

You are given that he cut the wire into several pieces, each one measuring 5 1/2 feet. Convert it too to improper fraction.

The length L2 = 11/2

To know how many number of pieces of wire he have after making the cuts, divide length L1 by length L2. That is,

L1/L2 = 77/2 ÷ 11/2

Change the division to multiplication by reciprocating 11/2 to 2/11

77/2 × 2/11 = 77/11 = 7

Therefore, he had 7 pieces of wires after making the cuts.

The ransin sports company has noted that the size of individual customer orders is normally distributed with a mean of $112 and
Sonja [21]

Standard error of the mean is computed by:

Standard error = SD/ sqrt N

Where:

N is the sample size

SD is the standard deviation

 

To get the standard deviation, you need to get the sqrt of the variance = sqrt 9 = 3

So plugging in our data:

 

Standard error = 3 / sqrt (16)

= 0.75
