Step One
Find the fraction left.
Starting amount = 7/8 pound
Used amount = 1/7 of a pound.

The common denominator of these two fractions is 8 * 7 = 56

Amount left = amount started with - amount used
Amount left = 7/8 - 1/7
Amount left = \frac{7 *7 }{8 * 7} -  \frac{1 * 8}{7 * 8}
Amount left = \frac{49 }{56} - \frac{ 8}{56}
Amount left = 41 / 56 pounds

Step Two
Convert the Answer to ounces.

Ounces = (41/56) * 16 
Ounces = 11.71 ounces  almost 11 3/4

Given the function f(x)=3x -2 and g(x)= x+2/3 complete parts A and B.
deff fn [24]

First, I should point out that g(x) should be written as g(x)=(x+2)/3, otherwise the problem is confusing.  

f(x)=3x-2 \enspace g(x)=\frac{x+2}{3}

(A) f(g(x))=3(\frac{x+2}{3})-2=x\\g(f(x))=\frac{3x-2+2}{3}=x

(B) Since f(g(x))=x and g(f(x))=x, it holds that

f(g(x))=g(f(x)) for all x. This means the composed functions are *identical*

In a simple random sample of 300 boards from this shipment, 12 fall outside these specifications. Calculate the lower confidence
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a random sample of 300 boards the number of boards that fall outside the specification is 12.

Compute the sample proportion of boards that fall outside the specification in this sample as follows:

\hat p =\frac{12}{300}=0.04

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion <em>p</em> is:

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

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is,

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.04\pm1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{300}}\\=0.04\pm0.022\\=(0.018, 0.062)\\\approx(1.8\%, 6.2\%)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

How to find the perimeter of a square one side is 10x other side is 6x+8?
Yanka [14]
To find the perimeter of the square, you add all four sides together:
10x + 10x + (6x + 8) + (6x + 8)
20x + 12x + 16 = P
32x + 16 = P

you have to find x to get the actual perimeter. Since the shape is a square, all 4 sides are equal, so you can set 10x and (6x + 8) as equal to each other.
10x = 6x + 8
4x = 8
x = 2

Now you just plug in x and finish the rest of the problem, and you have the answer:
32(2) + 16 = P
64 + 16 = P
P = 80

(if you find this helpful, marking this as the brainliest answer would make my day :)
