Answer:

The larger ham is the better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the better buy, divide both of the prices by their weight to get the price per pound of ham.

5.70/3 = 1.90 per lb

8.75/5 = 1.75 per lb

Therefore the 5 pound of ham is a better buy.

The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airp

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Confidence Interval in 95% confidence level for the quality rating is (6.06,7.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval can be calculated using the formula M±ME where

M is the mean of the sample
ME is the margin of error in a given confidence level

Using the sample obtained from 50 business travelers we get

Mean of the sample is 6.76
standard deviation of the sample is 2.526

Margin of error (ME) around the mean using the formula

ME= $\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} }$ where

z is the corresponding statistic in 95% confidence level (1.96)

s is the standard deviation of the sample (2.526)

N is the sample size (50)

Using the numbers in the formula we get:

ME= $\frac{1.96*2.526}{\sqrt{50} }$ ≈ 0.70

Then the confidence interval becomes 6.76±0.70

Gordon, Henry and Sarah share £48 in a ratio 2:3:1. How much money does each person get?

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Gordon gets 16£, Henry gets 24£ and Sarah gets 8£

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be 2x + 3x + 1x

Total amount = £48

So;

2x + 3x + x = 48

6x = 48

x = 48 / 6

x = 8

Now

2x = 16

3x = 24

x = 8
