Answer:

623

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that margin of error (E) = 3 unit, standard deviation (σ) = 29, sample size (n) = ?

a) The confidence (C) = 99% = 0.99

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01 / 2 = 0.005

From the normal distribution table, The z score of α/2 (0.005) is the critical value and it corresponds to the z score 0.495 (0.5 - 0.005) which is 2.58.

critical\ value = z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }=z_{0.005}=2.58\\

b) The margin of error (E) is given as:

<h3>E=z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }\\\\\sqrt{n}= z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{E }\\ \\n=( z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{E })^2\\\\Substituting:\\\\n=(2.58*\frac{29}{3} )^2=622.0036\\\\\\n=623(to\ the \ next\ whole\ number)</h3>

The minimum sample size (n) is 623

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

x = 76.80°

4x - 142 = 165.18°

x/5 = 15.36°

5x/9 + 60 = 102.66°

Step-by-step explanation:

Total angle in a quadrilateral is 360

x + 4x - 142 + x/5 + (5/9)x + 60 = 360

259x/45 + - 82 = 360

259x/45 = 442

x = 76.7953668

x = 76.80°

4x - 142 = 165.18°

x/5 = 15.36°

5x/9 + 60 = 102.66°

A container of oregano is 17 pounds heavier than a container of peppercorns their total weight is 253 pounds the peppercorns wil
34kurt
Alright, we can turn the word problem at the beginning into an equation.
Let's represent oregano with "o" and peppercorns as "p".
o=p+17
Also, we know that the two added together are 253 pounds.
o+p=253
Since we know that o=p+17, let's substitute it into the second equation.
(p+17)+p=253
2p+17=253
-17       -17
2p=236
p=118
So, we have 118 pounds of peppercorns. (Although it's irrelevant to the second half of the equation, we also know we have 135 pounds of oregano)
Now, let's convert pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, multiply 118 by 16....
118*16=1888
So, you can make 1888 one-ounce bags of peppercorns.
