Answer:400 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = speed at which the plane travelled west

Let s = speed at which the plane travelled south

Distance moved in 5 hrs heading west = 5*w = 5w

Distance moved in 4 hrs heading south = 4*s = 4s

Total distance, 3444= 5w + 4s

w = s + 39( 39 miles/hr faster)

5(s+39) + 4s = 3444

5s + 195 + 4s = 3444

9s = 3249

s = 361 miles per hour

w = s + 39 = 361 +39

= 400 miles per hour

Increasing the sample size while keeping the same confidence level has what effect on the margin of error? A. Increases the marg
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

C. Decreases the margin of error and hence increases the precision

Step-by-step explanation:

If we select a sample by Simple Random Sampling in a population of “infinite” size (a population so large that we do not know its size exactly), then the margin of error is given by

\bf E=\frac{ZS}{\sqrt{n}}

where  

<em>Z = The Z-score corresponding to the confidence level </em>

<em>S = The estimated standard deviation of the population </em>

<em>n = the size of the sample. </em>

As we can see, since n is in the denominator of the fraction and the numerator is kept constant, the larger the sample size the smaller the margin of error, so the correct choice is:

C. Decreases the margin of error and hence increases the precision

Students in a class were asked to name their favorite sport they like to watch on television. How many more time students want t
levacccp [35]
First, we need to add up all the percentages to make sure we have 100%.

25.5% + 0.03% = 25.53%

This means that 74.47% of the students chose something other than basketball or soccer.

The amount of students you stated there were was 2553.

25.5% of 2553 is 651 students and

0.03% is 8 students.

Now, we divide 651 by 8 to determine the amount of times over basketball was chosen.

651 ÷ 8 = 81

Basketball was chosen 81 times over again compared to soccer.

To find how much more times basketball was chosen, subtract 8 from 651

651 - 8 = 643

Basketball was chosen 643 times more than soccer.

What's the best first step in solving-4 + 2/5 &gt; 5/10
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 operations happening on the left side to x.

1. x is being multiplied by -4.

2. 2/5 is being added to -4x.

If you had a number for x, and you wanted to evaluate the left side, first, you would multiply the value of x by -4. Then you would add 2/5.

To solve an equation or an inequality, you do the opposite operation in the opposite order.

Since the second operation was add 2/5, to solve, you start by doing the opposite of the second operation. That means you subtract 2/5 from both sides.

Answer: B
