We have that an inverse variation in a function is given by:
 y = k / x

 We must find the value of the constant k.
 To do this, we substitute the values of x1 = 12, y1 = 15.
 We have then:
 15 = k / 12

 Clearing k we have:
 k = (15) * (12)

k = 180
 Substituting the value of k we have that the inverse variation is:
 y = 180 / x

 For y2 = 3 we have:
 3 = 180 / x2

 Clearing x2 we have:
 x2 = 180/3
 x2 = 60
 Answer:
 
x2 = 60

1/2 of angle D is given as 32 degrees.

The 3 inside angles need to add up to 180 degrees.

Angle B is a right angle, which is 90.

Angle C = 180 - 90 - 32 = 58 degrees.

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is 7.9 m^2
Fofino [41]
The pyramid formula:
\frac{1}{3}  \times base \times height

The volume in this case would be:

1/3×7.9×4
=79/30×4
=10.5333...
≈10.5 m^3

A study of peach trees found that the average number of peaches per tree was 725. The standard deviation of the population is 70
TEA [102]

Answer:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

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

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation of the population is 70 peaches per tree.

This means that \sigma = 70

How many trees does she need to sample to obtain an average accurate to within 10 peaches per tree?

She needs to sample n trees.

n is found when M = 10. So

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

10 = 1.96\frac{70}{\sqrt{n}}

10\sqrt{n} = 1.96*70

Dividing both sides by 10:

\sqrt{n} = 1.96*7

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*7)^2

n = 188.2

Rounding up:

She needs to sample 189 trees.
