If the three slashes are 190, 195, and 200, we can see it as
<span>-l----------l--------|--l- with the slightly longer line being around 198.78. Since it is clearly closer to the end of the line than the start of the line, we round it to 200</span>

The population standard deviation for the heights of dogs, in inches, in a city is 3.7 inches. If we want to be 95% confident th

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The minimum sample size that can be taken is of 14 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the minimum sample size to estimate a population mean is given by:

$n=\frac{z^{2}\sigma^{2}}{e^{2}}$

The <u>first step</u> is obtaining the values we're going to use to replace in the formula.

Since we want to be 95% confident, $1-\alpha=0.95 \Rightarrow \alpha=0.05$ .

Therefore we look for the critical value $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$ .

Then we calculate the variance:

$\sigma = 3.7 \Rightarrow \sigma^{2}=13.69$

And we have that:

$e=2 \Rightarrow e^{2}=4$

<u>Now</u> we replace in the formula with the values we've just obtained:

$n=\frac{1.96^{2}*13.69}{4}=13.1479\approx 14$

Therefore the minimum sample size that can be taken to guarantee that the sample mean is within 2 inches of the population mean is of 14 dogs.

Explain how to determine the zeros of f(x)= (x+3)(x-2)(x-6)

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The zeros of f(x) are -3, 2 , 6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is a polynomial of degree 3.

If the polynomial is not factorized we will either factorize to find the zero or use trial and error method.

Since the f(x) in the question is in the factorized form. we will have to equate each factor to zero.

f(x) = (x+3)(x-2)(x-6)

x + 3 = 0 => x = -3

x - 2 = 0 => x = 2

x - 6 = 0 => x = 6

Curtis paid $80 on the vet bill for his dog. Then the vet charged him $40 more for his dog's medicine. If he now owes the vet $1

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

He paid 80 at the start, so his starting must have been 80

Step-by-step explanation:

80+40=120...

so either 0, or 80 because he owed nothing, or he owed the 80, then the 40 for medication

I hope this helps!

Katrina buys a 42-ft roll of fencing to make a rectangular play area for her dogs.

Answer:

(a) $l = -w + 21$

(b) Domain: $0$ <em>(See attachment for graph)</em>

(c) $f(w) = -w + 21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$2(l + w) = 42$

$l = length$

$w = width$

Solving (a): A function; l in terms of w

All we need to do is make l the subject in $2(l + w) = 42$

Divide through by 2

$l + w = 21$

Subtract w from both sides

$l + w - w = 21 - w$

$l = 21 - w$

Reorder

$l = -w + 21$

Solving (b): The graph

In (a), we have:

$l = -w + 21$

Since l and w are the dimensions of the fence, they can't be less than 1

So, the domain of the function can be $0$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To check this

When $w = 1$

$l = -1 + 21$

$l = 20$

$(w,l) = (1,20)$

When $w = 20$

$l = -20 + 21$

$l = 1$

$(w,l)= (20,1)$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<em>See attachment for graph</em>

<em></em>

Solving (c): Write l as a function $f(w)$

In (a), we have:

$l = -w + 21$

Writing l as a function, we have:

$l = f(w)$

Substitute $f(w)$ for l in $l = -w + 21$

$l = -w + 21$ becomes

$f(w) = -w + 21$
