This is a proportion question. We can express this as an equation where the answer is x:

\frac{1}{250} = \frac{x}{378}

From there, you can just cross-multiply and divide to get:

\frac{1 * 378}{250}

A tenth of 250 is 25, so this is roughly \frac{375}{250} or \frac{17}{10}, so it'll be approximately 1.7 inches on the map.

Answer: Approx 1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, according to the question, The scale of a map is 1 inch: 250 miles.

Thus, 1 inches = 250 miles,

⇒1 miles= 1/250 inches.

⇒378 miles=378×1/250 inches.

⇒378 miles = 1.512 inches.

Therefore, If City A is 378 miles from City B.

Then, the distance between city A and B in inches = 1.512 inches ≈ 1.5 inches.

Determine the center and radius of the following circle equation:<br> x2 + y2 – 10x + 8y + 40 = 0
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The center of this circle is (5, -4) and the radius is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First regroup these terms according to x and y :

x^2 - 10x + y^2 + 8y = -40

Next, complete the square for x^2 - 10x:  x^2 - 10x + 5^2 - 5^2.

and the same for y^2 + 8y:  y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16

Substituting these results into x^2 - 10x + y^2 + 8y = -40, we get:

x^2 - 10x + 5^2 - 5^2 y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16 = -40.

Next, rewrite x^2 - 10x + 25 and y^2 + 8y + 16 as squares of binomials:

Then x^2 - 10x + 5^2 - 5^2 y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16 = -40 becomes:

(x - 5)^2 + (y + 4)^2 - 25 - 16 = -40, or:

(x - 5)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 1

This equation has the form (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.  Matching like terms, we get h = 5, k = -4 and r = 1.

The center of this circle is (5, -4) and the radius is 1.

A national survey of companies included a question that asked whether the company had at least one bilingual telephone operator.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The first option is correct. Option A is correct.

LCL = 0.270, and UCL = 0.397

80% Confidence interval = (0.270, 0.397)

Step-by-step explanation:

The data for Y and N for the 90 companies is attached to this solution provided.

Y represents companies with at least 1 bilingual operator and N represents companies with no bilingual operator.

The number of Y in the data = 30

Hence, sample proportion of companies with at least one bilingual operator = (30/90) = 0.3333

Confidence Interval for the population proportion is basically an interval of range of values where the true population proportion can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± (Margin of error)

Sample proportion = 0.3333

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error)

Critical value at 80% confidence level for sample size of 90 is obtained from the z-tables.

Critical value = 1.280

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = √[p(1-p)/n]

p = sample proportion

n = sample size = 90

σₓ = √[0.3333×0.6667)/90] = 0.0496891568 = 0.04969

80% Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error)]

CI = 0.3333 ± (1.28 × 0.04969)

CI = 0.3333 ± 0.0636021207

80% CI = (0.2696978793, 0.3969021207)

80% Confidence interval = (0.270, 0.397)

Hope this Helps!!!
