Answer:

(1024.69,\ 1127.31)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample size was:

n = 300

The average was:

{\displaystyle {\overline {x}}}=1,076

The standard deviation was:

\s = 345

The confidence level is

1-\alpha = 0.99

\alpha=1-0.99\\\alpha=0.01

The confidence interval for the mean is:

{\displaystyle{\overline {x}}} \± Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Looking at the normal table we have to

Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=Z_{\frac{0.01}{2}}=Z_{0.005}=2.576

Therefore the confidence interval for the mean is:

1,076\± 2.576*\frac{345}{\sqrt{300}}

1,076\± 51.31

(1024.69,\ 1127.31)

This means that <em>the mean planned spending of all Americans who take long summer vacations in 2009 is between $ 1024.69 and $ 1127.31</em>

Mary used one big bag of flour. She baked four loaves of bread.​ Then, she used the remaining flour to make 48 muffins. How much
algol [13]

Answer:

Amount of flour in the bag when Mary​ began = 4x+48y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of baked loaves of bread made from flour = 4

Number of muffins made from flour = 48

To find: Amount of flour in the bag when Mary​ began

Solution:

Let x denotes amount of flour used to make one baked loave of bread and y denotes amount of flour used to make one muffin.

So,

Amount of flour used to make 4 baked loaves of bread = 4 x

Amount of flour used to make 48 muffins = 48 y

Amount of flour in the bag when Mary​ began = 4x+48y
