Number of cookie boxes bought by James = 5
Number of cakes bought by James = 2
Cost of each cakes = $4
Total bill paid by James = $28.50
Let us assume the cost of the each boxes of cookies = x
Then
5x + (2 * 4) = 28.50
5x + 8 = 28.50
5x = 28.50 - 8
5x = 20.50
x = 20.50/5
= 4.10
So we can see from the above deduction that the cost of each boxes of cookies bought by James is $4.10

Pyramid A has a triangular base where each side measures 4 units and a volume of 36 cubic units. Pyramid B has the same height,

omeli [17]

Answer:

The volume of pyramid B is 81 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<u>Pyramid A</u>

$s = 4$ -- base sides

$V = 36$ -- Volume

<u>Pyramid B</u>

$s = 6$ --- base sides

Required

Determine the volume of pyramid B <em>[Missing from the question]</em>

From the question, we understand that both pyramids are equilateral triangular pyramids.

The volume is calculated as:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Where B represents the area of the base equilateral triangle, and it is calculated as:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

Where s represents the side lengths

First, we calculate the height of pyramid A

For Pyramid A, the base area is:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 4^2 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 16 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = 4\sqrt 3$

The height is calculated from:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

This gives:

$36 = \frac{1}{3} * 4\sqrt 3 * h$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{3 * 36}{4\sqrt 3}$

$h = \frac{3 * 9}{\sqrt 3}$

$h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

To calculate the volume of pyramid B, we make use of:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Since the heights of both pyramids are the same, we can make use of:

$h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

The base area B, is then calculated as:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

Where

$s = 6$

So:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 6^2 * sin(60)$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 36 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = 9\sqrt 3$

So:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Where

$B = 9\sqrt 3$ and $h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 9\sqrt 3 * \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 9 * 27$

$V = 81$

laila [671]

Complete Question

A survey is planned to estimate the proportion of voters who support a proposed gun control law. The estimate should be within a margin of error of ±5% with 90% confidence, and we do not have any prior knowledge about the proportion who might support the law. How many people need to be included in the sample?

Round your answer up to the nearest integer.

sample size = _____

Answer:

The sample size is $n = 271$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is E = 5% = 0.05

Generally given that there was no prior knowledge about the proportion of who might support the law, we will assume the sample proportion to be

$\^ p = 0.5$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 90% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )$

=> $n = [\frac{1.645 }{0.05} ]^2 * 0.5 (1 - 0.5 )$

=> $n = 271$
