The price of the box of 15 stickers is $6. The price of the box of 25 stickers is $8. All prices are without tax, and the price

spayn [35]

Answer:

A box of 50 stickers would cost $13

Explanation:

1- getting the equation representing the price:

We have two variables; the number of stickers and the price of the box

We can note that the price is the dependent variable (y) while the number of stickers is the independent one (x)

We are given that:

A box of 15 stickers cost $6..........> first point is (15,6)

A box of 25 stickers cost $8 ........> second point is (25,8)

The general equation of the linear line is:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

i. getting the slope:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{8-6}{25-15}=0.2$

The equation now became: y = 0.2x + c

ii. getting the y-intercept:

To get the y-intercept, use any of the given points and substitute in the equation we got in part i. I will use the point (15,6)

y = 0.2x + c

6 = 0.2(15) + c

c = 6 - 0.2(15) = 3

The final equation is:

y = 0.2x + 3

where y is the price of the box and x is the number of stickers it contains

2- getting the price of a box with 50 stickers:

To get the price of a box of 50 stickers, simply substitute with x = 50 in the equation we got from part 1

This is done as follows:

y = 0.2(50) + 3 = 13

Therefore, a box of 50 stickers will cost $13

Hope this helps :)

A paint manufacturer uses a machine to fill gallon cans with paint (1 galequals128 ounces). The manufacturer wants to estimate

kvasek [131]

Answer:

a) To determine the minimum sample size we need to use the formula shown in the picture 1.

E is the margin of error, which is the distance from the limits to the middle (the mean) of the confidence interval. This means that we have to divide the range of the interval by 2 to find this distance.

E = 0.5/2 = 0.25

Now we apply the formula

n = (1.645*0.80/0.25)^2 = 27.7 = 28

The minimum sample size would be 28.

b) To answer the question we are going to make a 90% confidence interval. The formula is:

(μ - E, μ + E)

μ is the mean which is 127. The formula for E is shown in the picture.

E = 0.80*1.645/√8 = 0.47

(126.5, 127.5)

This means that the true mean is going to be contained in this interval 90% of the time. This is why it doesn't seem possible that the population mean is exactly 128.
