Answer:

h. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

For a 68.26% confidence, z = 1.0.

Standard deviation (s) = 30 minutes

The sample size needed to assure that the sample mean does not differ from the true mean by more than 5 minutes is given by:

5\geq z*\frac{s}{\sqrt n}\\\sqrt n\geq 1*\frac{30}{5}\\n\geq 36

The sample size needed is 36.

Use the diagram at the right to answer questions 22–27.

22. 30 degrees because line DB bisects(meaning cuts in half) angle ABC so DBC should be 30 degrees because 30+30 is 60 which is what angle ABC is.

23. 60 degrees because if we assume that it is a parallelogramand that the opposite angle are congruent.

24. 120 degrees because a quadrilatteral has sides that will equal to 360 degrees, and I said that a parallelogram will have its opposite angles congruent we take away 120 from 360 (from the previous angles ABC and BCD) we end up with 240, we divide 240 by 2 and end up with 120 degrees

25. 60 degrees. I found that angle DCB is 120 degrees so angles DCB and DCE are supplementary(add up to 180 degrees) and we subtract 120 from 180 which is 60 degrees.

26. 60 degrees vertical to angle DCE.

27. 120 degrees supplementary to DCE

A direct variation function contains the points (–8, –6) and (12, 9). Which equation represents the function?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Option C. y=(3/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

so

Find the value of the constant k

For the point (-8,-6)

k=y/x=(-6/-8)=3/4

For the point (12,9)

k=y/x=(9/12)=3/4

<u><em>Note</em></u> A single point was required to find the constant k (because the line passes through the origin)

The equation is equal to

y=(3/4)x
