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.

The line passing the points (-4,5) and (x,-13) is parallel to a line that has a slope of 9/2 what is the value of x ?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

x = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate m using the slope formula and equate, since parallel lines have equal slopes.

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, - 13)

m = \frac{-13-5}{x+4} = \frac{-18}{x+4} and equating

\frac{-18}{x+4} = \frac{9}{2} ( cross- multiply )

9(x + 4) = - 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x + 4 = - 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 8
