Length of the rectangle is 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Perimeter of the rectangle = 26 in and width = 8 in. Find the length.

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

26 = 2(length + 8)

13 = length + 8

length = 13 - 8

Length = 5 in

16,000 rolls of paper were purchased and 12,500 were sold at $1.79, what is the total ending inventory?

Maslowich

12,500 x 1.79 to find the price but 16,000 - 12,500 to get how many were left.
12,500 x 1.79 = $22,375 that they made from selling. 16,000 - 12,500 = 3,500 rolls left in the inventory. This question confused me so I just gave both answers.

In analyzing the city and highway fuel efficiencies of many cars and trucks, the mean difference in fuel efficiencies for the 60

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$7.38-1.96\frac{2.51}{\sqrt{601}}=7.18$

$7.38+1.96\frac{2.51}{\sqrt{601}}=7.58$

For this case the confidence interval is given by :

$7.18 \leq \mu \leq 7.58$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

$\bar X=7.38$ represent the sample mean for the fuel efficiencies

$\mu$ population mean

s=2.51 represent the sample standard deviation

n=601 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The formula for the confidence interval of the true mean is given by:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The degrees of freedom for this case is given by:

$df=n-1=601-1=600$

The Confidence level for this case is 0.95 or 95%, and the significance level $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ and the critical value is given by $t_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Replcing into the formula for the confidence interval is given by:

$7.38-1.96\frac{2.51}{\sqrt{601}}=7.18$

$7.38+1.96\frac{2.51}{\sqrt{601}}=7.58$

For this case the confidence interval is given by :

$7.18 \leq \mu \leq 7.58$
