Which decimal number is the smallest 1.001 1.1 1.01 1.011

A square has side length (7 x − 2) inches. what is the area of the square?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

49x^2 - 28x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(7x - 2)(7x - 2)

Because squares have the same length of sides.

49x^2 - 28x + 4

Suppose that a manager is interested in estimating the average amount of money customers spend in her store. After sampling 36 t

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The 90% confidence interval for this case would be (38.01, 44.29) and is given.

The best interpretation for this case would be: We are 90% confident that the true average is between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

And the best option would be:

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: Which statement gives a valid interpretation of the interval?

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by the 36 sampled customers is between S38.01 and $44.29.

There is a 90% chance that the mean amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29.

There is a 90% chance that a randomly selected customer will spend between S38.01 and $44.29.

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The 90% confidence interval for this case would be (38.01, 44.29) and is given.

The best interpretation for this case would be: We are 90% confident that the true average is between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

And the best option would be:

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

A muffin recipe, which yields 12 muffins, calls for 2/3 cup of milk for every 1 3/4 cups of flour. The same recipe calls for 1/4

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

First I'm making all mixed numbers improper fractions.

Base recipe: 12 muffins = 2/3 milk + 7/4 flour + 1/4 coconut + 3/4 apple

Change: 9/8 apple

On second look, I ddn't need to do that except for the last one, the change in apple. When increasing things proportionally you basically multiply everything by the same number. A simple example.

Say a recipe made 10 of something with 1 of ingredient A and 2 of ingredient B. Well, what if you made the recipe twice? that would be 20 things from 2 of A and 4 of B. This is the same as changing the recipe to make double. It works if you halve things as well, or multiply by any number or fraction.

So the point is, we changed the amount of apples. We want to know how much we changed it by, then that much is how much the total number of muffins changes. So if we doubled apples the muffins would double, but I don't think it's that simple.

Started at 3/4 cup of chopped apple and increased to 9/8 cups. We want to know what to multiiply by to do this. So we set up a simple algebraic equation.

(3/4)x = 9/8

where x is what we multiply by. Now, to do this you could do one step, divide by 3/4 or you could do it in two steps, multiply both sides by 4 then divide by 3. Or the other way around. Either way you will get the same number.

(3/4)x = 9/8

3x = 9/2

x = 3/2

And you can (and should) double check

(3/4)x = 9/8

(3/4)(3/2) = 9/8

9/8 = 9/8

Yay! If you don't gt fraction multiplication let me know. But the recipie is an increase of 3/2 or 1.5, so there will be 1.5 as many muffins.

12*1.5 = 12(3/2) = 18

Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence, the next three terms, the equation, and the term given for 8, 10, 12, 14

fredd [130]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence the common difference d is

d = a₂ - a₁ = 10 - 8 = 2

To obtain the next term in the sequence add d to the previous term, that is

a₅ = 14 + 2 = 16

a₆ = 16 + 2 = 18

a₇ = 18 + 2 = 20

The next 3 terms in the sequence are 16, 18, 20

The n th term equation for an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 8 and d = 2, thus

$a_{n}$ = 8 + 2(n - 1) = 8 + 2n - 2 = 2n + 6
