The numbers going to the left on a number line means the values are smaller and the numbers going to the right means the values are bigger.
Take the value '0' for example, the value on the right of zero is '1', which is a value bigger than zero, and the value to the left of '0' is '-1', which is a value smaller than zero.
Answer: 112 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that the width of the rectangular piece of wood is 4 inches and the width of the strip ribbon is 1/4 inches.
Then, let be "n" the number of strips ribbon that Laura needs to cover the width of the rectangular piece of wood (Assuming that she will cover the wood in the form shown in the figure attached). This is:

To find the lenght of ribbon that Laura needs to conver the wood, you must multiply the number of strips ribbon "n" by the lenght of the rectangular piece of wood, then you get:

Answer: 547
Step-by-step explanation: The margin of error formulae is given below as
Margin of error = critical value ×(σ/√n)
Where σ = standard deviation and n is the sample size.
From our question, margin of error = 0.08
Variance is 1.691,
hence σ = √variance = √1.691
= 1.3.
We will be using a z test for our critical value this is because a soft drink manufacturer will always produce drinks more than 30 in numbers.
The critical value for a 85% confidence interval is 1.44.
Hence critical value is 1.44.
By substituting the parameters, we have that
0.08 = 1.44 × 1.3/ √n
0.08 = 1.873/ √n
By cross multiplying
0.08 × √n = 1.873
√n = 1.873/ 0.08
√n = 23.41
n = (23.41)²
n = 547.
