<h3>Answer: Sample B as it has the smaller sample (choice #4)</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Recall that the margin of error (MOE) is defined as

MOE = z*s/sqrt(n)

The sample size n is located in the denominator, meaning that as n gets bigger, the MOE gets smaller. The same happens in reverse: as n gets smaller, the MOE gets bigger.

Put another way, a small sample size means we have more error because small samples mean they are less representative of the population at large. The bigger a sample is, the better estimate we will have of the parameter.

We are told that "sample A had a larger sample size" indicating that sample A has a more narrow confidence interval.

Therefore, sample B would have a wider confidence interval.

This is true regardless of what the confidence level is set at.

A car with a tank that holds 11.6 gallons of gasoline is using 1.45 gallons per hour. Is the tank more than half full of gasolin
spayn [35]
No, because 11.6/2 is 5.8 so 5.8 is half of the tank. if it uses 1.45 per hour and it's used for 3.5 hours there will only be 5.075

Answer:

f(- 4) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 4) substitute x = - 4 into f(x) , that is

f(- 4) = - 8 - 5(- 4) = - 8 + 20 = 12
