If A, B and C are collinear, then:

AB+BC=AC\\\\AB=x+4,\ BC=2x-10,\ AC=2x+1

substitute:

(x+4)+(2x-10)=2x+1\\\\(x+2x)+(4-10)=2x+1\\\\3x-6=2x+1\ \ \ |+6\\\\3x=2x+7\ \ \ \ |-2x\\\\x=7\\\\AB=x+4\to AB=7+4=11\\\\BC=2x-10\to BC=2(7)-10=14-10=4\\\\AC=AB+BC\to AC=11+4=15

To assess the precision of a laboratory scale, we measure a block known to have a mass of 1 gram. we measure the block n times a
vlada-n [284]
<span>n = 5 The formula for the confidence interval (CI) is CI = m ± z*d/sqrt(n) where CI = confidence interval m = mean z = z value in standard normal table for desired confidence n = number of samples Since we want a 95% confidence interval, we need to divide that in half to get 95/2 = 47.5 Looking up 0.475 in a standard normal table gives us a z value of 1.96 Since we want the margin of error to be ± 0.0001, we want the expression ± z*d/sqrt(n) to also be ± 0.0001. And to simplify things, we can omit the ± and use the formula 0.0001 = z*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the value z that we looked up, and get 0.0001 = 1.96*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the standard deviation that we were given and 0.0001 = 1.96*0.001/sqrt(n) 0.0001 = 0.00196/sqrt(n) Solve for n 0.0001*sqrt(n) = 0.00196 sqrt(n) = 19.6 n = 4.427188724 Since you can't have a fractional value for n, then n should be at least 5 for a 95% confidence interval that the measured mean is within 0.0001 grams of the correct mass.</span>
