A fast food restaurant executive wishes to know how many fast food meals adults eat each week. They want to construct a 85% conf

idence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 5.6 fast food meals per week and found the standard deviation to be 1.3. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answer:

The sample size must be 548 to have a margin of error of no more than 0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean = 5.6

Standard deviation = 1.3

Significance level = 15%

Margin of error = 0.08

We have to estimate the sample size.

Margin of error =

z_{critical}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.15} = 1.44

Putting values, we get

0.08 = 1.44\times \dfrac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 1.44\dfrac{\times 1.3}{0.08}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 23.4\\n =547.56\approx 548

Thus, the sample size must be 548 to have a margin of error of no more than 0.08.

Rectangle PQRS is dilated by a scale factor of 2 (k=2) with the origin as the center. What are the coordinates of R('?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Correct Answer: (8,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Dilation about the origin</u>

Most dilations in the coordinate plane use the origin, (0,0), as the center of the dilation.

In such cases, every point (x,y) dilated by a factor of k is mapped to the point (kx,ky).

The point R=(4,1) is dilated by a scale factor of 2 (k=2), thus the coordinates of its image are (2*4,2*1) = (8,2)

R varies directly as s. Find r when s=10 and k=4
nadezda [96]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, r varies directly as s

\therefore \: r \:  \:  \alpha \:  \: s \\  \therefore \: r  = k s..(1) \:  \\ (k =  \: constant \: of \: proportionality ) \\ plug \: s = 10 \: and \: k = 4 \:  in \: equation \: (1) \\ r = 4 \times 10 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: r  =40}}

Graph the image of kite ABCD after a rotation 180° counterclockwise around the origin.
rewona [7]

Solution:

Given a kite ABCD on a graphhh, with the coordinates given below

\begin{gathered} A(-8,-6) \\ B(-7,-2) \\ C(-1,-6) \\ D(-7,-10) \end{gathered}

If the kite is rotated 180° counterclockwise around the origin,

The rule for a rotation 180° counterclockwise around the origin is

(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,-y)

The coordinates of the kite after the rotation of 180° counterclockwise around the origin will be

\begin{gathered} A(-8,-6)\rightarrow A^{\prime}(8,6) \\ B^{\prime}(-7,-2)\rightarrow B^{\prime}^(7,2) \\ C(-1,-6)\rightarrow C^{\prime}(1,6) \\ D(-7,-10)\rightarrow D^{\prime}(7,10) \end{gathered}

The graph is shown below
