A manufacturer of college textbooks is interested in estimating the strength of the bindings produced by a particular binding ma

chine. Strength can be measured by recording the force required to pull the pages from the binding. If this force is measured in pounds, how many books should be tested to estimate the average force required to break the binding to within 0.08 lb with 99% confidence? Assume that σ is known to be 0.72. (Exact answer required.)

Answer:

538 books should be tested.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many books should be tested to estimate the average force required to break the binding to within 0.08 lb with 99% confidence?

n books should be tested.

n is found when M = 0.08

We have that \sigma = 0.72

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.08 = 2.575*\frac{0.72}{\sqrt{n}}

0.08\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.72

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.72}{0.08}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*0.72}{0.08})^{2}

n = 537.1

Rounding up

538 books should be tested.

Line JK passes through points J(-4,-5) and K(-6, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Line JK passes through points J(-4,-5) and K(-6, 3).

Line JK has form of y = mx + b

=> -5 = -4m + b

=>  3 = -6m + b

Subtract 2nd equation from 1st equation:

=> -8 = 2m

=> m = -4

Substitute back m = -4 into 1st equation:

=> -5 = -4(-4) + b

=> b = -21

Hope this helps!

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
umka2103 [35]

We must find the slope of the graph first, we can do this by finding two perfect points and inputting those points into the formula y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Perfect point #1: (0,1)

Perfect point #2: (2,5)

As mentioned above, input these numbers into our formula.

5-1 = 4

2 - 0 = 2

4/2 = 2

So, the slope of the graph is 2.

Now, we must find the y-intercept which can be found based on where the line intersects with the y-axis. As we can see, the line intersects at (0,1) therefore the y-intercept of the graph is 1.

We now form a linear equation:

y = 2x + 1

However, since this is linear equality graph we will replace the equal sign with an inequality symbol. The inequality symbol we can use is based on the direction of the shaded area. If shaded up, we use the "greater than symbol", if down then we use the "less than symbol".

The line also matters, if the line is dotted we use the normal inequality symbol, but if it is straight then we use one of the "equal to" inequality symbols.

As for our graph, we have a dotted line with the shaded area upwards. Therefore, we will be using the greater than symbol and not a "equal to" symbol.

So, our answer would be y > 2x + 1
