Bill has 15 fewer cards than joe . write an expression to find how many cards bill has... ???

The open tray shown in the illustration is to be manufactured from a 18-by-19-inch rectangular sheet of metal by cutting squares

defon

Answer: You should cut out squares that are 4 inches by 4 inches.

One of the ways to do this problem is write and graph an equation. We can write an equation for the volume of this shape and then use a graphing calculator to graph it. If we look where the graph crosses 440, we will have our solution.

The volume needs to be 440. If we let x equal the side of the square that is cut out, we have the following dimensions.

Length = 19 - 2x
Width = 18 - 2x
Height = x

Volume = LWH

So our equation could be: y = (19 - 2x)(18 - 2x)x

If you graph that equation, it will intersect at the point (4, 440). Therefore, our square could be 4 by 4 inches.

A news report states that the 99% confidence interval for the mean number of daily calories consumed by participants in a medica

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The sample mean is of 1925 calories.

The margin of error is of 75 calories.

The sample standard deviation is of 109.7992 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample mean:

The sample mean is the mean value of the two bounds of the confidence interval. So

$M = \frac{1850 + 2000}{2} = 1925$

The sample mean is of 1925 calories.

The margin of error

Difference between the bounds and the sample mean. So

2000 - 1925 = 1925 - 1850 = 75 calories.

The margin of error is of 75 calories.

Sample standard deviation:

Here, I am going to expand on the t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995$ . So we have T = 2.898

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

Since $M = 75, T = 2.898, n = 18$

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$75 = 2.898\frac{s}{\sqrt{18}}$

$s = \frac{75\sqrt{18}}{2.898}$

$s = 109.7992$

The sample standard deviation is of 109.7992 calories.

The table shows the ratio between the number of books ordered and their cost: Find equivalent ratios when the number of books or

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the ratio between the number of books ordered and their cost: Number of Books Cost (dollars) 7 21 8 24 9 27 Find equivalent ratios when the number of books ordered is 1, 2, and 3. Write them as ordered pairs in the form (x-coordinate, y-coordinate). Starting from the origin, explain how to plot the three equivalent ratios on a coordinate grid.

Answer: Let the number of books be represented as x and the cost (dollars) be represented as y. From the table the ordered pairs in the form (x, y) can be gotten. (7, 21), (8, 24), (9, 27). To get the relationship between the number of books and the cost, we can use the formula of a straight line.

Using point (7, 21) and (8, 24):

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-21=\frac{24-21}{8-7}(x-7)\\ \\y-21=3(x-7)\\\\y=3x-21+21\\\\y=3x$

When the number of books ordered is 1, 2, 3 the following pairs are:

For x = 1. y = 3x = 3(1) = 3

For x = 2 y=3x = 3(2) = 6

For x = 3 y = 3x = 3(3) = 9

The ordered pairs are (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9)

The graph is attached

To plot the ordered pairs, the number of books are plotted on the x coordinate and the cost on the y coordinate
