Basically, Justin and Tina's paths form two right-angled triangles whose hypotenuses(?) form a straight line between their end points. Therefore we need to find the two distances from the starting point and add them.
Justin walked 3 miles north and 6 miles west so his distance from the start is the square root of 9+36 or 45. This can be simplified to 3√5. 
Tina walked 2 miles south and 4 miles east so her distance from the starting point is the square root of 4 + 16 or 20. This can be written as 2√5.
If we add these two distances together we get 5√5. Hence, Justin and Tina are 5√5 miles away from each other.

Answer:

0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647

0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

The estimated population proportion for this case is:

\hat p = \frac{350}{500}=0.7

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 99% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=2.58

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647

0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

slamgirl [31]

The percentage of the increase will be 25% when the number of students in the marching band increased from 100 to 125.

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

The Percentage is defined as representing any number with respect to the 100. It is denoted by the sign %.

It is given in the question that the number of students in the marching band increased from 100 to 125 so we need to find the percentage increase of the students.

The percentage increase of the students will be calculated as:-

% increase=[(125-100)÷(100)]x100

% increase=[(25)÷(100)]x100

% increase= [0.25x100]

% increase= 25%

Hence the percentage of the increase will be 25% when the number of students in the marching band increased from 100 to 125.

The answer would be approximately 56.52 inches squared.

You are suppose to find the lateral surface area, since the label only go around the can, excluding the top and bottom.
To find the lateral surface area, you'd need to find the circumference of the circle, and then multiply that by the height.
Since C = πd, 3.14..*3 ≈ 9.42. And 9.42*6 = 56.52. Conclusively, the approximate amount of paper needed to make the can's label would be about 56.52 inches squared.
