Answer:

n=1705

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution  

X \sim N(\mu, \sigma=1.6)  

And the distribution for \bar X is:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{1.6}{\sqrt{n}})  

We know that the margin of error for a confidence interval is given by:  

Me=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)  

The next step would be find the value of \z_{\alpha/2}, \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005  

Using the normal standard table, excel or a calculator we see that:  

z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 2.58  

If we solve for n from formula (1) we got:  

\sqrt{n}=\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{Me}  

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

And we have everything to replace into the formula:  

n=(\frac{2.58(1.6)}{0.1})^2 =1704.03  

And if we round up the answer we see that the value of n to ensure the margin of error required \pm=0.1 mm is n=1705.

Answer

D.  `(y+4) = (5)/(3)(x+ 1)`


Step by step explanation

The given points are (-1, -4) and (2, 1)

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (1 - (-4)) / (2 - (-1))

= (1 + 4) / (2 +1)

m = 5/3

When two points are given, the equation of the line is

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

y -(-4) = 5/3 (x - (-1))

y + 4 = 5/3 (x + 1)

The answer is (y+4) = (5)/(3)(x+ 1)

Thank you.

Mandarinka [93]

D=2x+2

X=7

Plug in the value for Max's age.

D=2(7)+2

D=14+2

D=16

Max is 7

Dee is 16
