Answer: sally initially has $240, Tom initially has $180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial amount of money sally has = x

Then, initial amount tom has = 75% * x = 0.75x

Now to present,

Amount sally has = x -120

Amount tom has = [x - 120] + [50% * (x-120)]

= x - 120 + 0.5x - 180

= 1.5x - 180

Since Tom didn't spend, it means this is the same amount tom has then we equate both equations.

0.75x = 1.5x - 180

180 = 0.75x

x = 240

Therefore, initial money of sally of sally = $240

Initial money of tom = 240 * 0.75 = $180.

Suppose a 90% confidence interval for the mean salary of college graduates in a town in Mississippi is given by [$38,737, $50,46
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

a. The point estimate was of $44,600.

b. The sample size was of 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

The margin of error is the difference between the two bounds, divided by 2.

a. What is the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town?

Mean of the bounds, so:

(38737+50463)/2 = 44600.

The point estimate was of $44,600.

b. Determine the sample size used for the analysis.

First we need to find the margin of error, so:

M = \frac{50463-38737}{2} = 5863

Relating the margin of error with the sample size:

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 Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.64.

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.

For this problem, we have that \sigma = 14300, M = 5863. So

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

5863 = 1.645\frac{14300}{\sqrt{n}}

5863\sqrt{n} = 1.645*14300

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*14300}{5863}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*14300}{5863})^2

n = 16

The sample size was of 16.

Marcia bought a 50 foot roll she used two 8 and 5/6 how much if left​
inna [77]

Answer:

vvvvv

Step-by-step explanation:

I suspect two 8 means 8x2, but if it means 2+8, I'll add another answer.

1. 8x2= 16 + 5/6(.83) = 16.83 = 50-16.83= 33.17

ORRRRR

2. 2+8=10+.83= 10.83 = 39.17

How to multiply numbers with exponets and different bases
o-na [289]
When the bases are diffenrent and the exponents of a and b are the same, we can multiply a and b first:
a n ⋅ b n = (a ⋅ b) n
Example:
32 ⋅ 42 = (3⋅4)2 = 122 = 12⋅12 = 144

When the bases and the exponents are different we have to calculate each exponent and then multiply:
a n ⋅ b m
Example:
32 ⋅ 43 = 9 ⋅ 64 = 576

A tunnel is in the shape of a parabola. The maximum height is 31 m and it is 13 m wide at the base as shown below.
yan [13]
Using the given values from the problem and the illustration, three points are known which are (0,0), (6.5,-31), (-6.5,-31). The first step in solving this problem is to determine the equation of the parabola.
y = ax²
-31 = a(6.5)²
-31 = 42.25a 
a = -31/42.25 
a = -124/169 

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y = (-124/169)x². The value 4.5 is then substituted in the equation as x to get the answer which is 16.14 meters.
