Answer:

28 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

4 pounds -2 pounds = 2 pounds

2 pounds - 4 ounces = 32 ounces -4 ounces = 28 ounces

Ms. Smith has 28 ounces of candy left

Answer:

28 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

4 pounds ( 4*16) = 64 ounces

-2 pounds ( 64-32) = 32 ounces

-4 ounces ( 32-4) = 28 ounces

Hopefully this helps! :]

I will mark as brainliest. Area of a square is 25^m. Find its Perimeter. With working please
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

perimeter = 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given the area of the square = 25 m² and

area of a square = s² ( where s is the side length ), then

s² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

s = \sqrt{25} = 5 ← length of side

perimeter = 4s = 4 × 5 = 20 m

A self proclaimed psychic was tested for ESP. The psychic was presented with 200 cards face down and asked to determine if the c
swat32

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given (0.172;0.288).  

We are confident at 95% that the true probability that the psychic correctly identifies the symbol on the card in a random trial is between (0.172;0.288).  

We can conclude that her random guessing would have got her correct 20% of the time. Since the confidence interval contains 0.2, she has no psychic powers, rather she just guessed it like normal people. Any person could have got it correct this many times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Description in words of the parameter p

p represent the probability that the psychic correctly identifies the symbol on the card in a random trial

\hat p represent the estimated probability that the psychic correctly identifies the symbol on the card in a random trial

n=200 is the sample size required  

z_{\alpha/2} represent the critical value for the margin of error  

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Numerical estimate for p

In order to estimate a proportion we use this formula:

\hat p =\frac{X}{n} where X represent the cases successful

\hat p=\frac{46}{200}=0.23 represent the estimated probability that the psychic correctly identifies the symbol on the card in a random trial

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula:

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}  

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96  

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:  

0.23 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{200}}=0.172  

0.23 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{200}}=0.288  

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.172;0.288).

We are confident at 95% that the true probability that the psychic correctly identifies the symbol on the card in a random trial is between (0.172;0.288).  

We can conclude that her random guessing would have got her correct 20% of the time. Since the confidence interval contains 0.2, she has no psychic powers, rather she just guessed it like normal people. Any person could have got it correct this many times.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 4 and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3y = 6x 3
Maru [420]
Perpendicular line always have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.  Mathematically,

m1*m2=-1

So to be perpendicular to the line given, let's rearrange it to the point slope form of a line...

3y=6x ?3 (not sure what you wanted to type there)

anyway isolating y by dividing both side by three will leave 2x where 2 is the slope.

So for the other line to be perpendicular, m*2=-1, m=-1/2, now we have:

y=-x/2 +b, we can now you the point given to solve for b

4=-2/2 +b

4=-1+b

b=5 so

y=-x/2 +5 or more neatly

y=(10-x)/2

Alex is building a rectangular fence around his yard. The total perimeter of the fence is 68 feet and the area of the yard is 24
pychu [463]

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w


68 = 2L + 2w


68 - 2L = 2w


2(34 - L) = 2(w)


34 - L = w


********************                                


Area (A) = L * w


     240 = L (34 - L)


     240 = 34L - L²


L² - 34L + 240 = 0


(L - 10)(L - 24) = 0


L = 10  or  L = 24


w = 34 - L   = 34 - 10   = 24      or      w = 34 - 24   = 10


Answer: width = 10, length = 24   assuming length is bigger than the width

MrRissso [65]
Lets find out...
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
27^2 + 79^2 = 84^2
729 + 6241 = 7056
