Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean lead concentration of sea water samples

Number of samples. n = 6

Mean, u = 0.903 cc/cubic meter

Standard deviation, s = 0.0566

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

0.903 +/- 1.96 × 0.0566/√6

= 0.903 +/- 1.96 × 0.0566/2.44948974278

= 0.903 +/- 0.045

The lower end of the confidence interval is 0.903 - 0.045 =0.858

The upper end of the confidence interval is 0.903 + 0.045 =0.948

Therefore, with 95% confidence interval, the mean lead concentration of the sea water is between 0.858 cc/cubic meter and 0.948 cc/cubic meter

(SAT Prep) How many distinct triangles are for which the lengths of the sides are 5,9 and n, where n is an integer and 10

Nana76 [90]

The answer is C because you can have a triangle with 5,9,n 5,10,n 9,10,n and 5,10,9

The reason why is because the sum of two sides is always larger than the value of the third side.

I hope that this helps.

Graph the function y = 4 . Then use the graph to find the missing x- or y-coordinates for the function to the nearest hundredth.

Elodia [21]

Given equation is y=4.

Question says to graph the given equation y=4 then use the graph to find the missing x- or y-coordinates for the function to the nearest hundredth.

Equation y=4 has no "x" so that means line y=4 will be a horizontal line which passes through 4 on y-axis.

Since it is parallel to x-axis so that means there is no x-intercept.

y-intercept is (0,4) as the line crosses at 4 on y-axis.

I need help on these question ASAP!!!! This is Urgent

Part 1: The equation of the line is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is $(1,3)$ and the line B is $y=2 x-2$

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is $m=2$

Substituting the point $(1,3)$ and $m=2$ in slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we have,

$3=2(1)+b$

$3=2+b$

$1=b$

Thus, the y-intercept is $b=1$

Let us substitute the values $m=2$ and $b=1$ in the slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=2x+1$

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The given two coordinates are $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is $b=-1$

The formula for slope is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substituting the coordinates $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ , we have,

$m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3$

Thus, the slope is $m=-3$

Substituting the values $b=-1$ and $m=-3$ in the slope intercept formula $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=-3x-1$

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$
