Answer:

Scale factor is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor, we have to do division of the shorter sides of the first and second rectangle, that is

1.5/6

=0.25

0.25 because you have to x 1.5 by 4 to get 6 and 0.25 is equivalent to 1/4.

Vitamin D, whether ingested as a dietary supplement or produced naturally when sunlight falls on the skin, is essential for stro

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a) The 98% confidence interval would be given (0.182;0.218).

b) We are 98% confident that the true proportion of of England people who are deficient in Vitamin D is between 0.182 and 0.218.

c) If repeated samples were taken and the 98% confidence interval computed for each sample, 98% of the intervals would contain the population proportion.

d) Yes since the confidence interval not contains the value 0.25, we can refute the claim at 2% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=2700 represent the random sample taken

X represent the people in England who are deficient in Vitamin D

$\hat p=0.2$ estimated proportion of England people who are deficient in Vitamin D

$\alpha=0.02$ represent the significance level

Confidence =0.98 or 98%

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p= population proportion of England people who are deficient in Vitamin D

Part a

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

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

For the 98% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$ and $\alpha/2=0.01$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.33$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.20 - 2.33 \sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{2700}}=0.182$

$0.20 + 2.33 \sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{2700}}=0.218$

And the 98% confidence interval would be given (0.182;0.218).

Part b

We are 98% confident that the true proportion of of England people who are deficient in Vitamin D is between 0.182 and 0.218.

Part c

If repeated samples were taken and the 98% confidence interval computed for each sample, 98% of the intervals would contain the population proportion.

Part d

Yes since the confidence interval not contains the value 0.25, we can refute the claim at 2% of significance.

In the coordinate plane, what is the length of the line segment that connects points at (5, 4) and (−3, −1) ? Enter your answer

stiks02 [169]

The distance between two points knowing theirs coordinates:

AB =√[(x₂-x₁)² +(y₂-y₁)²]; ===>A(5,-4) & B(-3,-1) Given
A(x₁,y₁) & B(x₂,y₂)

AB =√[(-3-5))²+(-1-(-4)²] =√(73) = 8.381 ≈ 5.44 units

What is the value of 0.1561 rounded to the nearest tenth?

Ainat [17]

We have to round the value of 0.1561 to the nearest tenth.

The number after decimal is the number at tenth place. Consider the number to the right of the tenths place and use the number to determine if you will round up or stay the same. Notice that the number to the right of tenth place is more than or equal to 5 or less than 5. If that number is greater than or equal to 5, then the number will round up but if that number is less than 5, then the number will not round up. It will remain same.

Let us consider the given number 0.1561

The number at tenths place is 1

The number after the tenths place is 5 (which is either greater than or equal to 5)

So, the number will round up to 0.2

John bought a bag of lawn fertilizer that will cover 289 square feet. What

erik [133]

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of lawn fertilizer covers 289 square feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover.

Area of a square lawn = length^2

Area of the square lawn = 289 square feet

Area of a square lawn = length^2

289 = length^2

Find the square root of both sides

√289 = √length^2

17 = length

Length = 17 feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover = 17 feet by 17 feet

What is the SUM of the angle measures in a nonagon (9 sides)?

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

All sides are the same length (congruent) and all interior angles are the same size (congruent). To find the measure of the angles, we know that the sum of all the angles is 1260 degrees (from above)... And there are nine angles... So, the measure of the angle of a regular nonagon is 140 degrees.
