5 0

Answer:

19 nails

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first determine the z-score by using the formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where x=5.03, μ=5, σ=0.03 and so:

z=\frac{5.03-5}{0.03}=1


We can now use a z-score table to determine that 1.00 is synonymous with 0.8413 meaning 84.13%.  This means that 84.13% of the nails are less than or equal to 5.03 inches long.  Therefore, since we know 100% = 1 in decimals we can determine that the length greater than 5.03 inches is 1-0.8413=0.1587.  This means that 15.87% of the 120 nails are greater than 5.03 inches long.

Finally, we can determine how many nails are greater than 5.03 by determining what is 15.87% of 120 which is:

120 \times 0.1587 \approx 19

And so 19 out of the 120 nails are greater than 5.03 inches long.

A nutrition lab tested 40 hot dogs to see if their mean sodium content was less than the 325-mg upper limit set by regulations f
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a nutrition lab tested 40 hot dogs to see if their mean sodium content was less than the 325-mg upper limit set by regulations for "reduced sodium" franks

90% confidence interval is

(317.2, 326.8)mg.

Using confidence intervals,we can check whether null hypothesis is true.

Here

H_0: \bar x = 325\\H_a: \bar x

(left tailed test at 10% significance level)

We check whether confidence interval 90% contains the mean value.

We find 325 belongs to the confidence interval

Hence  H0 is true

The hot dogs do not satisfy.

Convert the following to standard form, then write
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

f(x)=x^2+6x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to represent the expression given in the standard form to the quadratic form

Given

f(x) = (x + 3)^2

let us square the given expression

f(x)=(x+3)(x+3)

open brackets

f(x)=x^2+3x+3x+9

sum the similar terms

f(x)=x^2+6x+9
