8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x:  0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces

Answer:

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

New weight = 15.1 ounce

Old weight = x ounce

(Old weight) -8% of old weight= new weight

X - 0.08x= 15.1

X(1-0.08)= 15.1

X*0.92= 15.1

X= 15.1/0.92

X = 16.413

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

You measure 25 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 31 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 12.8
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Margin of error = 4.21 ounces  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given That, You measure 25 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 31 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 12.8 ounces

Therefore, Sample mean = 31 ounces  ,  Sample size(n) = 25 , Alpha(α) = 0.10 & Population standard deviation(σ) = 12.8 ounces

  • Thus, Margin of error  = Z_{critical} × σ / √n  (Z_{critical} at α=.010 is 1.645)

Putting The Values, We get

1.645 × (12.8 / √25 ) ⇒ 4.2112 ≈ 4.21

Thus, the maximum margin of error associated with a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight is 4.21 ounces

Solve 4X^2+7 = 8X +4 by using the quadratic formula
Sergio [31]

Answer:

(1.5,0)

(.5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula below

We first need to move everything to one side of the equation

4x²-8x+3=0

Then plug everything in

(8±√(-8²-4*4*3))/(2*4)

(8±√16)/8

To calculate the ± we need to do when where it's adding and then negative

we have

(8+4)/8=3/2

and hten

(8-4)/8=1/2

Answer:

396 ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so first we will find the triangle area.

9 * 8 = 72/2 = 36.

Now multiply this by 11 (the width of the prism)

36 * 11 = 396 ft^{3}
