Explain how to estimate the product of 12 3/8 × 6 7/8

You can round each number to the nearest half

12 3/8 = 12 1/2

6 7/8 = 7

Now, you have: 12 ½ × 7

Since you have a mixed number, change it to a decimal to make it easier.

12 ½ = 12.5

12.5 × 7 = 87.5

The product of 12 3/8 and 6 7/8 is about 87 1/2 = 87.5

The National Center for Educational Statistics surveyed 5400 college graduates about the lengths of time required to earn their
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean time required by all college graduates is between 5.36 years and 5.44 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{4500}} = 0.04

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.4 - 0.04 = 5.36 years.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.4 + 0.04 = 5.44 years.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean time required by all college graduates is between 5.36 years and 5.44 years.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!!! DONT NEED much explanation How many solutions does this system have? (photo below)
Tema [17]

Answer:

infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(3x-5y) = 2*15

6x - 10y = 30

This is the same as the second equation

They are the same line

This means there are infinite solutions

A candle is 9 inches long. Ronnie lights the candle and records the height of the candle, y inches, for x hours.​
DochEvi [55]

In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)

Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form

That would be y = -2x+9

This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.

The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9

----------------------------------------------------------------

Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
