tiyleah has a cousin fantasia in france . both families recently bought new cars and the two girls are comparing how fuel effici

ent the two cars are . tiyleah explains to fantasia that her family's car is getting 40 miles per gallon. fantasia has no idea how that compares to her family's car because in france mileage is measured differently. she tells tiyleah that her family's car uses 7 liters per 150 km . which car is more fuel efficient. List all conversion ratios/factors needed to answer this question. Show all work in finding which car is more fuel efficient.​

Answer:

Fantasia's family's car is more fuel-efficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, Tiyleah's family's car is getting 40 miles per gallon, and Fantasia's family's car uses 7 liters per 150 km.

The comparison can be done by observing the distance traveled by the cars in an equal amount of fuel. The car which covers more distance in an equal amount of fuel is more fuel-efficient.

First, convert the given units to have the same unit of measurement,

As 1 gallon =3.7854 liters and 1 mile = 1.609344 km

So, 40 miles =40 x 1.61=64.40 km

Now, The distance covered by Tiyleah's family's car is 64.40 km in 3.7854 liters.

So, the distance covered by Tiyleah's family's car in 1 liter of fuel is \frac{64.40}{3.7854}=17.01 km

In a similar way,

As Fantasia's family's car uses 7 liters per 150 km.

So, the distance traveled by Fantasia's family's car in 1 liter of fuel =150/7=21.43 km

Observe that, in 1 liter of fuel, Tyleah's family's car covered 17.01 km while Fantasia's family's car covered 21.43 km which is more.

Hence, Fantasia's family's car is more fuel-efficient.

Past experience has indicated that the breaking strength of yarn used in manufacturing drapery material is normally distributed
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 11.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 11-1 = 10.

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level \alpha and divide by 2. So:

\frac{1-0.95}{2} = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 10 and 0.025 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have T = 1.812

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{11}} = 1.2060

Now, we multiply T and s

M = Ts = 1.812*1.2060 = 2.19/tex]For the lower end of the interval, we subtract the sample mean by M. So the lower end of the interval here is[tex]L = 97 - 2.19 = 94.81 = 94.8cm

For the upper end of the interval, we add the sample mean and M. So the upper end of the interval here is

L = 97 + 2.19 = 99.19 = 99.2cm

So

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm).

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, -2)(−3,−2) and (3, 6)(3,6)? Put your answer in fully reduced
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = \frac{4}{3} x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the equation that passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line whose rule is m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
  • b is the y-intercept, you can find it by substituting x, y in the equation by (x1, y1) OR (x2, y2)

Let us solve the question:

∵ The line passes through the points (-3, -2) and (3, 6)

∴ x1 = -3 and x2 = 3

∴ y1 = -2 and y2 = 6

→ Use the rule of m to find it

∵ m=\frac{6-(-2)}{3-(-3)}=\frac{6+2}{3+3}=\frac{8}{6}

→ Simplify it by dividing up and down by 2

∴ m = \frac{4}{3}

→ Substitute its value in the form of the equation above

∴ y = \frac{4}{3} x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y by x1 and y1

∴ -2 = \frac{4}{3} (-3) + b

∴ -2 = -4 + b

→ Add 4 to both sides

∴ -2 + 4 = -4 + 4 + b

∴ 2 = b

→ Substitute it in the form of the equation

∴ y = \frac{4}{3} x + 2

∴ The equation of the line is y = \frac{4}{3} x + 2
