A quality inspector must verify whether a machine that packages snack foods is working correctly. The inspector will randomly se

lect a sample of packages and weigh the amount of snack food in each. Assume that the weights of food in packages filled by this machine have a standard deviation of 0.30 ounce. An estimate of the mean amount of snack food in each package must be reported with 99.6% confidence and a margin of error of no more than 0.12 ounces. What would be the minimum sample size for the number of packages the inspector must select?

Answer: 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for sample size:-

n= (\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2\cdot \sigma}}{E})^2

, where \sigma = population standard deviation.

z_{\alpha/2} = Two -tailed z-value for {\alpha (significance level)

E= margin of error.

Given : tex]\sigma=\text{ 0.30 ounce}[/tex]

⇒Significance level for 99.6% confidence level :\alpha=1-0.996=0.004

By using z-value table ,Two -tailed z-value for \alpha=0.01:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.002}=2.878

E= 0.12 ounces.

Minimum sample size will be :-

n= (\dfrac{2.878\cdot 0.30}{0.12})^2\\\\= (7.195)^2\\\\=51.768025\approx52

Hence, the minimum sample size  for the number of packages the inspector must select = 52

Answer:

\large\boxed{1.\ f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[12]{3^x}}\\\\\boxed{2.\ f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[4]{3^x}}\\\\\ \boxed{3.\ f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{4^{7-x}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\\log_ab=c\iff a^c=b\\\\a^{\log_ax}=x\\\\n\log_ab=\log_ab^n\\\\\log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc)\\============================\\\\1.\\y=3\log_3x^4\to y=\log_3(x^4)^3\to y=\log_3x^{12}

2.\\y=\log_3x^4\\\\\text{Exchange x and y. Solve for y:}\\\\\log_3y^4=x\Rightarrow3^{\log_3y^4}=3^x\Rightarrow y^{4}=3^x\\\\y=\sqrt[4]{3^x}\\-------------------------

3.\\y=-\log_4x^3+7\\\\\text{Exchange x and y. Solve for y:}\\\\-\log_4y^3+7=x\qquad\text{subtract 7 from both sides}\\\\-\log_4 y^3=x-7\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\log_4y^3=7-x\Rightarrow4^{\log_4y^3}=4^{7-x}\\\\y^3=4^{7-x}\Rightarrow y=\sqrt[3]{4^{7-x}}

A 13foot lader i upagenst a tree the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet away form the tree how high is the ladder on the tree
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.

Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.


Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or


169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.


Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."

leontyne sings for $1,000 an hour. Her rate increases by 50 percent after midnight. If she sings one night from 8:30 pm until 1:
iren2701 [21]
From 8.30 pm to 12 : 00

Difference = 12 : 00 - 08:30 = 3 : 30

3 hours 30 minutes = 3.5 hours.

Total for those hours = 3.5 * 1000 = $3500

From 12:00 to 1:00 am  = 1 hour.

50% increase =  50% of 1000 = .50 * 1000 = 500

So it will increase to 1000 + 500 = $1500 per hour.

For the 1 hour extra, 1 * 1500 = $1500

Total = $3500 + $1500 = $5000

She will be paid $5000
