Number of 1/2-inch cubes length-wise = 8 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 17
Number of 1/2-inch cubes width-wise = 5 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 11
Number of 1/2-inch cubes height-wise = 2 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 5

Number of 1/2-inch cubes = 17 x 11 x 5 = 935

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 935 1/2-inch cubes are needed.

A survey of 1000 air travelers1 found that prefer a window seat. The sample size is large enough to use the normal distribution,
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the true proportion of air travelers who prefer the window seat is (0.575, 0.625)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Sample size = n = 1000

Proportion of travelers who prefer window seat = p = 60%

Standard Error = SE = 0.015

We need to construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of travelers who prefer window seat. Therefore, we will use One-sample z test about population proportion for constructing the confidence interval. The formula to calculate the confidence interval is:

(p-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}, p+z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Since, standard error is calculated as:

SE=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

Re-writing the formula of confidence interval:

(p-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times SE, p+z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times SE)

Here, z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} is the critical value for 90% confidence interval. From the z-table this value comes out to be 1.645.

Substituting all the values in the formula gives us:

(0.6 - 1.645 \times 0.015, 0.6 + 1.645 \times 0.015)\\\\ = (0.575, 0.625)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of air travelers who prefer the window seat is (0.575, 0.625)

What is the common ratio of the geometric sequence below? –2, 4, –8, 16, –32, ...
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The common ratio of the geometric sequence is:

r=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

where

  • aₙ is the nth term
  • a₁ is the first term
  • r is the common ratio

Given the sequence

-2,\:4,-8,\:16,\:-32,\:...

Compute the ratios of all the adjacent terms:  r=\frac{a_n+1}{a_n}

\frac{4}{-2}=-2,\:\quad \frac{-8}{4}=-2,\:\quad \frac{16}{-8}=-2,\:\quad \frac{-32}{16}=-2

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

r=-2

Therefore, the common ratio of the geometric sequence is:

  • r=-2

Solve for g in the proportion.<br><br> 42/g = 14/10<br><br> g =
NeX [460]

Cross mutiply. 42*10= 420. 14*g= 14g

14g= 420

divide by 14 for both sides

14g/14= 420/14

g= 30

Check answer by using substitution method

42/30. Divide by 3 . 42/3= 14 , 30/3= 10

14/10 and 14/10 equal to each other by dividing 2.

14/2= 7 , 10/2= 5

7/5= 7/5

Answer: g= 30
