Subtract the total of the 3 fish she is buying from the amount of money she has:

85 - (12 + 13 + 14) = 85 - 39 = 46

She has $46 to spend on crabs.

Divide the amount she has to spend by the price on one crab:

46 / 8 = 5.75

Since it isn't a whole number you need to round down, since she cant buy 0.75 of a crab.

She has enough money to buy 5 crabs.

Of the population of all fruit flies we wish to give a 90% confidence interval for the fraction which possess a gene which gives
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.038.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

To this end we have obtained a random sample of 400 fruit flies. We find that 280 of the flies in the sample possess the gene.

This means that n = 400, \pi = \frac{280}{400} = 0.7

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Margin of error:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

M = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.7*0.3}{400}}

M = 0.038

The margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.038.

Jeff needs to buy food and medication for six cats and one dog. The cost of food and medication for a cat is $5 less than two-th
Elodia [21]
Let x be the amount that Jeff spent for the food and medication of his dog. With this representation, the cost of food and medication for each cat is 2x/3 - 5. The equation that best represent the given situation is


                            x + 6(2x/3 - 5) = 195

The value of x from the equation is 45. Jeff spent $45

Please give the correct answer and explain im really trying to learn this so I need the explanation not just an answer. Thankyou
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

x = tan⁻¹(⅘)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for x by using trigonometric ratios (sin, cos, and tan)

We need to apply the appropriate ratio that uses the two sides 8 and 10 from the perspective of x. See attached image for information about ratios. (Source: Math is Fun)

The tangent ratio is opposite divided by adjacent. It will relate x to the two sides. So we would write

tan(x) = ⁸⁄₁₀

Then we simplify and move the tan to the other side by multiplying both sides by the inverse of tan (since you cannot divide by tan)

tan(x) = ⅘

x = tan⁻¹(⅘)

Then we can use a calculator to evaluate x

If you want to find y, now that you have two angles of the triangle, you can find the sum of 90 + x and subtract that from 180 (since all angles of a triangle add up to 180) to find y.

Which of the following inequalities is equivalent to 3-(w+2)>4+2w
Kay [80]

3 - w - 2 > 4 + 2w  \\  - w - 2w > 4 + 2 - 3 \\  - 3w > 6 - 3 \\   \frac{ - 3w}{ - 3}  >  \frac{3}{ - 3} \\ w <  - 1
The sign at the end changes because both sides of the equation are being divided by a negative number.
