Janette has 386 pennies. 58 nickels and 19 dimes If Janette exchanges her coins for dollars, how many dollars will she have? Ho

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$8 ; 66 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Worth of penny, dimes and Nickel in cents and dollars

Nickel, n = 5 cents = $0.05

Dimes, d = 10 cent = $0.1

Penny, p = 1 cent = $0.01

Multiplying the number of each coin with its respective value ;

386(0.01) + 58(0.05) + 19(0.1)

$3.86 + $2.9 + $1.9

= $8.66

Changing it to dollar ,

$8.66 dollars = 8 dollars ;

$0.66 = 66 cents

To determine whether 10a-10c are true or false, you first need to know how to find the volume of the shoebox and the volume of the crate.

The equation for volume is l × w × h where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

So, the volume of the shoebox is

V = l × w × h
V = 12 × 6 × 4
V = 288 cubic inches.

To find the volume of the crate, we simply multiply the volume of one shoebox by 20, as the crate holds 20 shoeboxes.

228 × 20 = 4560 cubic inches.

10a. Each shoebox has a volume of 22 cubic inches. False. The volume is 228 cubic inches.

10b. Each crate has a volume of about 440 cubic inches. False. The volume of each crate is 4560 cubic inches.

10c. If the crate could hold 27 shoeboxes, the volume of the crate would be about 7,776 cubic inches.

For this one, let's do some more math. Since we figured out the volume of a crate holding 20 shoeboxes is 4560 cubic inches, let's do the same thing to find the volume of a crate holding 27 shoeboxes.

228 × 27 = 6156 cubic inches.

False. The volume of a crate holding 27 shoeboxes would be 6156 cubic inches.

11 part A:

Each term above describes the term below, but the term below doesn't necessarily describe the term above.

The choice of terms is : trapezoid, triangle, rhombus, parallelogram

Before we do anything else, let's define our terms, as well as the ones used in the diagram.

Trapezoid - A four sided shape with a pair opposite parallel sides.
Triangle - A shape with three sides.
Rhombus - A shape with four equal straight sides.
Parallelogram - A quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides.
Quadrilateral - A four-sided shape with four angles.
Square - A four-sided shape with all four sides the same length, and all four angles are the same size.

The first term is quadrilateral. From this, we can determine that the term triangle won't be used at all, as it's a three-sided figure, whereas a quadrilateral is a four-sided figure. This leaves trapezoid, rhombus, and parallelogram as our terms.

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral, because it has four sides, but it can't be a rhombus or parallelogram, so it goes in the first open box.

A parallelogram is a trapezoid, because it has a pair of opposite parallel sides, but it can't be a rhombus, because it doesn't necessarily have all equal sides, so it goes in the second open box.

A rhombus is a parallelogram, because it has two sets of parallel sides, and goes in the third open box.

So, from top box to bottom box, the order the term go is
Quadrilateral
Trapezoid
Parallelogram
Rhombus
Square

Nitrates are groundwater contaminants derived from fertilizer, septic tank seepage and other sewage. Nitrate poisoning is partic

o-na [289]

Answer:

a) $n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=2401$

And rounded up we have that n=2401

b) $n=\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=625.22$

And rounded up we have that n=626

And we see that if we have previous info about p the sample size varies a lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

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".

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

Part a

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.02$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Since we don't have prior information about the population proportion we can use ase estimator $\hat p =0.5$ . And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=2401$

And rounded up we have that n=2401

Part b

For thi case the estimator for p is $\hat p =0.07$

$n=\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=625.22$

And rounded up we have that n=626

And we see that if we have previous info about p the sample size varies a lot.
