The method for doing this will depend on the required accuracy of your estimate.

Using linear approximation between 9^2 = 81 and 10^2 = 100, the estimate is
.. 9 +(90-81)/(100-81) = 9 +9/19 ≈ 9.47

Using one round of "Babylonian Method" on the above estimate,
.. (9.47 +90/9.47)/2 ≈ 9.486 ≈ 9.49 . . . . . . actually accurate to the hundredths place

Using derivatives and linear approximation,
.. √90 ≈ √81 +1/(2√81)*(90-81) = 9.50
or
.. √90 ≈ √100 +1/(2√100)*(90 -100) = 9.50

Assume no calculators, no paper, no pen, all in the head.

90=9*10, so 9.5 is a good approximation.
in fact, 9.5=9*10+0.562=90.25
We will use this initial estimate x0=9.5 to improve to accurate to the hundredth (and more).

Newton's method gives a better estimate by the following formula (all done in the head)
x1=x0-(x0^2-90)/(2*x0)
=9.5-(90.25-90)/(2*9.5)
=9.5-0.25/19
=9.5-0.013125   [in the head, 0.25/19=0.25/20+5%=0.125+0.0625=0.013125]
=9.486875
=9.49  (to the hundredth)

Exact value = 9.48683298...

A population is estimated to have a standard deviation of 9. We want to estimate the population mean within 2, with a 99% level
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The sample required is  n = 135

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  standard deviation is  \sigma = 9

      The margin of error is E =  2

     

Given that the confidence level is  99%  then the level of  significance is mathematically evaluated as

         \alpha =  100-99

        \alpha =  1 \%

        \alpha =  0.01

Next we will obtain the critical value  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table(reference  math dot armstrong dot edu) , the value is  

             Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} } =  2.58

The  sample size is mathematically represented as

          n = [ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ]^2

substituting values

           n = [ \frac{ 2.58 *  9 }{2} ]^2

            n = 135

In 1970, the average length of a major league baseball game was 150 minutes compared to 180 minutes in 2018. Calculate the absol
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

  • 30 min
  • 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute change in game length is ...

  (180 min) -(150 min) = 30 min . . . . change in game length

__

The relative change is expressed as a fraction of the original game length:

  (30 min)/(150 min) × 100% = 20% . . . . relative change in game length
