Answer: 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The weights, in pounds, of the cats in an animal adoption center are normally distributed.

The confidence interval is (7.9,12.7)           (1)

Let \overline{x} be the sample mean of the weights, in pounds, of the cats in an animal adoption center.

We know that the confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

(\overline{x}-E,\overline{x}+E)      (2)

From (1) and (2)

\overline{x}-E=7.9-------(3)\\\\\overline{x}+E=12.7--------------(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4), we get

2E=4.8\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=2.4

Hence, the margin of error is E = 2.4

Use the graph of f '(x) below to find the x values of the relative maximum on the graph of f(x):
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

You have relative maximum at x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Note that f' is continuous and smooth everywhere. f therefore exists everywhere on the domain provided in the graph.

f' is greater than 0 when the curve is above the x-axis.

f' greater than 0 means that f is increasing there.

f' is less than 0 when the curve is below the x-axis.

f' is less than 0 means that f is decreasing there.

Since we are looking for relative maximum(s), we are looking for when the graph of f switches from increasing to decreasing. That forms something that looks like this '∩' sort of.

This means we are looking for when f' switches from positive to negative. At that switch point is where we have the relative maximum occurring at.

Looking at the graph the switch points are at x=0, x=1, and x=2.

At x=0, we have f' is less than 0 before x=0 and that f' is greater than 0 after x=0.  That means f is decreasing to increasing here. There would be a relative minimum at x=0.

At x=1, we have f' is greater than 0 before x=1 and that f' is less than 0 after x=1. That means f is increasing to decreasing here. There would be a relative maximum at x=1.

At x=2, we have f' is less than 0 before x=2 and that f' is greater than 0 after x=2. That means f is decreasing to increasing here. There would be a relative minimum at x=2.

Conclusion:

* Relative minimums at x=0 and x=2

* Relative maximums at x=1

den301095 [7]
7 worms, 3 beetles, 2 lizards
<span>I found this by first doing the calculations for the number of legs (26). First, I added the legs for the 3 beetles together to get 18 legs. Then I added the legs for 2 lizards (8) to the beetles’ legs to get 26 legs in total.To find the number of heads I added the number of lizard heads (2) and beetles heads (3) to get five heads. Then I added the 7 worm’s heads to the lizard and beetles heads to get 12 heads in total.</span>
