Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

A cereal manufacturer is concerned that the boxes of cereal not be under filled or overfilled.

Each box of cereal is supposed to contain 13 ounces of cereal.

A random sample of 31 boxes is tested.

The average weight is 12.58 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.25 ounces.

Sample mean = 12.58

Sample std deviation = 0.25

Sample size = 31

Sample std error = $\sqrt{\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{31} } } \\=0.0449$

confidence interval can be calculated using t critical value because population sd is not known.

df = 30

t critical for two tailed = 1.697

Margin of error = $1.697*0.0449\\=0.07620$

conidence interval = $(12.58-0.0762, 12.58+0.0762)\\=(12.5038, 12.6562)$

Since this does not contain 13 oz. we reject the claim that each box contains exactly 13 oz.

The trick to solving this problem is to know and remember that the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Thus, (6x+1) + (5x-17) + (9x-24) = 180.

20x = -40, so x = -2 (answer)

Use l'Hôpital's Rule to find the following limit. ModifyingBelow lim With x right arrow 0StartFraction 3 sine (x )minus 3 x Ove

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{3sinx-3x}{7x^3}=-\frac{1}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The limit is:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{3sinx-3x}{7x^3}=\frac{0}{0}$

so, you have an indeterminate result. By using the l'Hôpital's rule you have:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{a(x)}{b(x)}= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{a'(x)}{b'(x)}$

by replacing, and applying repeatedly you obtain:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{3sinx-3x}{7x^3}= \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{3cosx-3}{21x^2}= \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{-3sinx}{42x}= \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{-3cosx}{42}\\\\ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{3sinx-3x}{7x^3}=\frac{-3cos0}{42}=-\frac{1}{14}$

hence, the limit of the function is -1/14

Please help me with this it’s due today .

For question 1:

Since each person is going to eat 1/4 of pizza and there are two of them, there are going to be 8 slices. There are 5 people eating, that's 5 slices gone, leaving 3.

It would be <u>D.) 3/4 pizza</u>

For question 2:

three people order the same meal. Now, if I'm correct, the meal total is AFTER the coupons were used. so that would bring total cost up to $30.75.

Divide that by 3 for all three friends:

30.75/3 = <u>D.) $10.25</u>
