The safety inspector in a large city wants to estimate the proportion of buildings in the city that are in violation of fire cod

es. A random sample of 35 buildings is chosen for inspection, and 3 of them are found to have fire code violations. Estimate the proportion of buildings in the city that have fire code violations, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample will be a representative of the entire build us in the city.

For a sample size 35, 3 have fire code violations, hence, the proportion of houses with fire code violations = (3/35) = 0.0857 = 8.57 %

The uncertainty in the estimate is given in the form of standard error.

Standard error = √[(p(1-p)/n]

n = sample size = 35, p = 0.0857, 1 - p = 0.9143

Standard error of the sample = √(0.0857×0.9143/35) = 0.1616

In terms of the population, (0.1616/35) = 0.00462

Proportion of buildings with fire code violations = (8.57 ± 0.462) %

Find the 110 term of the sequence -7, 3, 13, 23, ...
Evgesh-ka [11]

First, find the nth term
To do this, find the term to term difference...
A
-7 and 3 = 10
3 and 13 = 10
13 and 23 = 10

As the difference is 10, we now write out the 10 times table

10, 20, 30, 40

The next step is to work out how to get from the sequence to the 10x table
B
-7 - 10 = -17
3 - 20 = -17
13 - 30 = -17
23 - 40 = -17

Now use the answer from each section in the general formula
x = An + B
This could also be written as ?n + ? 
Using our numbers, this becomes 10n - 17

Now use the formula to work out the 110th term
(10 x 110) - 17
1100 - 17 = 1083

Answer:

B- $38.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two adults, you would multiply the cost of adults by number of adults. in this case that would be $10.75 x 2= $21.50. do the same for the kids and you will get $5.50 x 3 = $16.50. add 16.50 and 21.50 and you will get $38.00 which is your answer

hope this helped :D

HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!! Please
N76 [4]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Growth can be represented by the equation A=A_01.02^{t}. We know that r=2% or 0.02 in this situation so we have 1.02. We know t=100 hours and the starting population A=200. We substitute these values and use a calculator to evaluate.

A=A_01.02^{t}\\A=200(1.02)^{100}

We now use our calculator to evaluate the exponent first and then multiply by 200.

A=200(7.2446)=1448.93

West and Company uses the LIFO method to calculate inventory values. Their beginning inventory consisted of 200 units at a cost
nirvana33 [79]
The total inventory is 200 + 300 + 400 + 100 = 1000. If 300 units remained, the we calculate the cost of the 700 sold via LIFO. These 700 units include the 100 units at $12.00, the 400 units at $11.00, and 200 units at $10.00 (out of the 300 purchased). This is a total cost of 100*12 + 400*11 + 200*10 = 1200 + 4400 + 2000 = $7600.
