a bank manager wants to know the mean amount of mortgage paid per month by homeowners in an area. a random sample of 120 homeown

ers from this area showed that they pay an average of $1575 per month for their mortgages. the population standard deviation of such mortgages is $215. fins a 97% confidence interval for the mean amount of mortgage paid per month by all homeowners in this area.

Answer:

[ 1,532.41, 1,617.59]

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided :

Sample size, n = 120

Mean = $1,575

Standard deviation = $215

Confidence level = 97%

Now,

Confidence interval = Mean ± z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}

also,

for 97% confidence level z score = 2.17   [from standard z-table]

= $1,575 ± 2.17\frac{215}{\sqrt {120}}

= $1,575 ± 42.59

Therefore,

Confidence interval = [ $1,575 - 42.59, $1,575 + 42.59]

= [ 1,532.41, 1,617.59]

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It's based on similarity of triangles

DEF ~ △XYZ

\implies \mathsf{ \frac{DE }{ XY } =  \frac{EF}{YZ} =  \frac{ FD}{ZX}}

The sides should be taken in order, like the triangles start with DE and XY so, we'll proportionate DE and XY and then the next two sides and so on.

I'm using \mathsf{ \frac{DE }{XY } =  \frac{EF}{YZ} }to get the value of x.

[You can use any two fractions out of the three given above. ]

\implies \mathsf{ \frac{10}{x - 1} =  \frac{8}{4}  }

\implies \mathsf{ \frac{10}{x - 1} =  2  }

\implies \mathsf{ 10 =  2 (x - 1) }

\implies \mathsf{ 10 =  2 x - 2 }

\implies \mathsf{ 10  + 2=  2 x  }

\implies \mathsf{ 1 2=  2 x  }

\implies \mathsf{ x = 6 }

Hence, the value of x is 6.

1. When professional golfer Jordan Spieth hits his driver, the distance the ball travels can be modeled by
Doss [256]

Answer:

a. About 96% of Spieth's drives travel at least 290 yards

b. The ball has to travel about 314.24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let us explain how to solve the problem

- The distance the ball travels can be modeled by  distribution with

  mean 304 yards and standard deviation 8 yards

a.

- Jordan would need to hit the ball at least 290 yards to have a clear

 second shot that avoids a large group of trees

- We need to find the percent of Spieth's drives travel at least

   290 yards

∵ The mean μ = 304 yards

∵ The standard deviation σ = 8 yards

∵ The distance x = 290

∵ P(x ≥ 290) = P(z ≥ z)

- We need to find z score

∵ z-score = (x - μ)/σ

∴ z = \frac{290-304}{8} = -1.75

* Let us use the normal distribution table to find the corresponding

 area of z = -1.75

∵ P(-z) = 1 - P(z)

∵ P(z ≥ -1.75) = 1 - 0.04006 = 0.95994

∴ P(x ≥ 290) = 0.96 = 96%

* <em>About 96% of Spieth's drives travel at least 290 yards</em>

b.

- On another golf hole, Spieth has the opportunity to drive the ball

  onto the green if he hits the ball a distance  in the top 10% of all

  his drives

- We need to find how far the ball has to travel

- Let us find the z-score from the normal distribution table for the 10%

  to the right or 90% to the left

∵ The area which equivalent to 0.9 ≅ 0.89973

∴ z = 1.28

∵ z-score = (x - μ)/σ

∴ 1.28 = \frac{x-304}{8}

- Multiply both sides by 8

∴ 10.24 = x - 304

- Add 304 for both sides

∴ x = 314.24 yards

* <em>The ball has to travel about 314.24 yards</em>

The Tonga Trench is at an elevation of 35,702 feet below sea level. The South Sandwich Trench is at an elevation of 23,737 feet
Svetach [21]

Both elevations or numbers are already expressed as a rational number. This is because a rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed as a quotient or fraction of two numbers:

p / q

Since in this case, q may be equal to 1, then both are rational numbers.

21:28 = :24<br><br>plz help....​
gavmur [86]

Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

21:28=x:24

1. rewrite: 21/28 = x/24

2. simplify: 3/4=x/24

3. multiply 24 to both sides: x=18
