Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in order to efficiently bid on a contract, a contractor wants to be 95% confident that his error is less than two hours in estimating the average time it takes to install tile flooring.

Std deviation =4.5 errors

95% confidence interval = Mean±1.96*std dev

Hence we have

1.96(\frac{4.5}{\sqrt{n} } )

\sqrt{n} \geq 4.41\\n\geq 19.4481

Sample size should be 20.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6y-14x=5
ioda

Answer:

slope = \frac{7}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 6y - 14x = 5 into this form

add 14x to both sides

6y = 14x + 5 ( divide all terms by 6 )

y = \frac{14}{6} x + \frac{5}{6} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{7}{3} ← in simplest form

Tan 235° = 2tan20°+ tan215°​
Mariulka [41]

Given :  tan 235 = 2 tan 20 + tan 215

To Find : prove that

Solution:

tan 235 = 2 tan 20 + tan 215

Tan x = Tan (180 + x)

tan 235 = tan ( 180 + 55) = tan55

tan 215 = tan (180 + 35) = tan 35

=> tan 55 = 2tan 20 + tan 35

55 = 20 + 35

=> 20  = 55 - 35

taking Tan both sides

=> Tan 20 = Tan ( 55 - 35)

=> Tan 20  = (Tan55 - Tan35) /(1 + Tan55 . Tan35)

Tan35 = Cot55 = 1/tan55 => Tan55 . Tan35 =1

=> Tan 20  = (Tan 55 - Tan 35) /(1 + 1)

=> Tan 20  = (Tan 55 - Tan 35) /2

=> 2 Tan 20  = Tan 55 - Tan 35

=> 2 Tan 20 +  Tan 35 = Tan 55

=>  tan 55 = 2tan 20 + tan 35

=>  tan 235 = 2tan 20 + tan 215

12+root of 35 divided by 2 + 12-2 root of 35 divided by 2
nadya68 [22]
So : 12+ \frac{\sqrt{35}}{2} + \frac{12-2 \sqrt{35} }{2}?

First, you want to bring everything together on the top of the fraction. 
12=24/2 so you can have \frac{24+ \sqrt{35}+12-2 \sqrt{35} }{2}

Add like terms -- 12 +24 = 36       \sqrt{35}-2 \sqrt{35} = \sqrt{35}

Now we are at \frac{24+ \sqrt{35} }{2} Which is the lowest possible simplified version while remaining at exact value. 

Feel free to check my math! I kinda did this off the top of my head.
