Answer:

A. Using a 90% confidence level (instead of 95%)

D. Using a sample size of 90 employees (instead of 60)

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is given by:

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which z is related to the confidence level, \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The higher the margin of error, the less precise the confidence interval is.

We have:

A 95% confidence interval, with a sample of 60.

We want to make it more precise:

Two options, decrease z(decrease the confidence level), or increase n(increase the sample size).

So the correct options are:

A. Using a 90% confidence level (instead of 95%)

D. Using a sample size of 90 employees (instead of 60)

If a bloodstain has a length of 3.0cm and a width of 1.5cm what is the angle of impact?
zalisa [80]

The angle of impact is 30°

<h3>What is the angle of impact?</h3>

In a bloodstain, the angle of impact can be used to determine the appearance of the resulting bloodstain if the bloodstain has a tail or pattern.

  • Bloodstain pattern analysis is the study of bloodstains at a scene of the crime in an attempt to reconstruct the events that resulted in the bloodshed.

Mathematically;

\mathbf{Angle  \ of \  impact = sin^{-1} (\dfrac{width \ stain}{length \ stain} )}

\mathbf{Angle  \ of \  impact = sin^{-1} (\dfrac{1.5}{3.0} )}

\mathbf{Angle  \ of \  impact = 30 ^0}

What is the equation of the line in the graph?
Verizon [17]
Well, we can see that the y-intercept is (0, -4) which means that the line must be:

y=mx-4

And since only one answer has -4 as the y-intercept, y=x-4 is the answer :P

Tell if the Ratio is Part-to-part or part-to-whole<br><br> 4 apples to 3 oranges
Pepsi [2]

Answer: Part-to-part

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a part-to-part, because they show part of apples, and part of oranges. This ratio when set up is 4:3. If the ratio was part-to-whole, then the apples would be compared to the total amount of oranges and apples. The ratio for part-to-whole would be 4:7.

Hope this helps!
