<u>Weight : </u>

<em>⇒ x for 6 people</em>
<em>⇒ y for the 7th person</em>

x/6=145 \\ (x+y)/6=147 \\  \\ x=145*6 \\ x=870 \\  \\ x+y=1029 \\  \\ 870+y=1029 \\ y=1029-870 \\ y=159

<u>The correct answer is B).</u>

X - weight of six people
y - weight of 7th person

\frac{x}{6}=145\\&#10;\frac{x+y}{7}=147\\\\&#10;x=870\\&#10;x+y=1029\\\\&#10;870+y=1029\\&#10;y=159\ lb\Rightarrow B

Give a 98% confidence interval for one population mean, given asample of 28 data points with sample mean 30.0 and sample standar
klio [65]

We have a sample of 28 data points. The sample mean is 30.0 and the sample standard deviation is 2.40. The confidence level required is 98%. Then, we calculate α by:

\begin{gathered} 1-\alpha=0.98 \\ \alpha=0.02 \end{gathered}

The confidence interval for the population mean, given the sample mean μ and the sample standard deviation σ, can be calculated as:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack x-Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}},x+Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}}\rbrack

Where n is the sample size, and Z is the z-score for 1 - α/2. Using the known values:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack30.0-Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}},30.0+Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}}\rbrack

Where (from tables):

Z_{0.99}=2.33

Finally, the interval at 98% confidence level is:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack28.94,31.06\rbrack

Line CD passes through points C (1,3) and D (4,-3). If the equation of the line is written in slope intercept form, y=my+b, what
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

C(1,3) and point D(4,-3)

Since we want the equation in slope intercept form we must first calculate the slope (m):

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\\\m=\frac{-3-3}{4-1}\\ \\m=\frac{-6}{3} \\\\m=-2

By point slope formula and using point C (1,3) we have:y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\\\\y=m(x-x_{1})+y_{1}\\\\y=-2(x-1)+3\\\\y=-2x+2+3\\\\y=-2x+5


So the slope is -2 and the y -intercept (b) is 5.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND IT'S DUE TMRW
zmey [24]

The answer to the above math expression is . See the computation below.

<h3>What is the calculation justifying the above?</h3>

First we solve for the numerator. The numerator is:

7√2 - 2√16

Where:

7√2 = 9.89949493661; and

2√16 = 8

Hence,

7√2 - 2√16 = 1.89949493661

Next we solve for the denominator. This is given as:

3√8=8.48528137424

Hence,

(7√2 - 2√16)/3√8 = 1.89949493661/8.48528137424

= 0.22385762508

$\approx$ 0.224

Express the ratio 25 to 5cm in its lowest terms​
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

5:1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the ratio in fraction form, since ratios are easier to think about in this mathematical way:

25:5=\frac{25}{5}

Now we have a fraction which is easier to work with. We can look for a common factor of 25 and 5 and then factor it out to find the lowest terms of our ratio and the simplified version of the fraction. One common factor of 25 and 5 that I can think of is 5 itself. So, let's divide both sides by 5.

\frac{25}{5} ÷ 5\\ = \frac{5}{1}

Does that make sense? 25 divided by 5 is 5, and 5 divided by 5 is 1. So the simplified version of the fraction is \frac{5}{1}, and the lowest terms of the ratio 25:5 cm is 5:1 cm.

Hopefully that makes sense! If you need more help or any of that was confusing or difficult to understand, let me know. :)
