Help! Give me the answer. I'll give the BRAINLIEST

If the surface area of the box of cereal is 272 inches squared, find the length of the box.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

x= 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

you left out the other lengths but since i had this same question once, the other lengths are 12 and 2-

dimensions of the box:

12 in x 2 in x ?

=272 square inches

and we know that there are 6 faces

area= 2 *(12 * 2) + 2 *(2*x) + 2 *(12*x)

area = 272 sq. in. = 48 + 4x + 24x

272 = 48 + 28x

272 - 48 = 28x

224 = 28x

x = 8 inches

good luck :)

i hope this helps

brainliest would be highly appreciated

have a nice day!

Four less than the quotient of a number 1 and 5.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You should know that quotient is the result of division.

n/2

Four less than that would be subtracting.

(n/2) - 4 = 9

Is -33 an integer?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

An integer, also called a "round number" or “whole number,” is any positive or negative number that does not include decimal parts or fractions. For example, 3, -10, and 1,025 are all integers, but 2.76 (decimal), 1.5 (decimal), and 3 ½ (fraction) are not an integer.

A random sample of 50 recent college graduates results in a mean time to graduate of 4.58 years, with a standard deviation of 1.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean time to graduate with a bachelor’s degree is (4.32, 4.84).

Yes, this confidence interval contradict the belief that it takes 4 years to complete a bachelor’s degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population mean μ, when the population standard deviation is not known is:

$CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

The information provided is:

$\bar x=4.58\\s=1.10\\\alpha =0.10$

Compute the critical value of t for 90% confidence interval and (n - 1) degrees of freedom as follows:

$t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=t_{0.10/2, (50-1)}=t_{0.05, 49}=1.671$

*Use a t-table for the probability.

Compute the 90% confidence interval for population mean μ as follows:

$CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$=4.58\pm 1.671\times \frac{1.10}{\sqrt{50}}\\=4.58\pm 0.26\\=(4.32, 4.84)$

Thus, the 90% confidence interval for the mean time to graduate with a bachelor’s degree is (4.32, 4.84).

If a hypothesis test is conducted to determine whether it takes 4 years to complete a bachelor’s degree or not, the hypothesis will be:

Hₐ: The mean time it takes to complete a bachelor’s degree is 4 years, i.e. μ = 4.

Hₐ: The mean time it takes to complete a bachelor’s degree is different from 4 years, i.e. μ ≠ 4.

The decision rule based on a confidence interval will be:

Reject the null hypothesis if the null value is not included in the interval.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean time to graduate with a bachelor’s degree is (4.32 years, 4.84 years).

The null value, i.e. μ = 4 is not included in the interval.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 10% level of significance.

Thus, it can be concluded that that time it takes to complete a bachelor’s degree is different from 4 years.
