Answer:

Option C) 5.62 points  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 20

Sample mean score = 64

Sample standard deviation, s = 12

Degree of freedom =

=n-1\\=20-1\\=19

We have to calculate margin of error for a 95% confidence interval.

Formula for margin of error:

t_{critical}\times \displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 19 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.093  

2.093\times (\displaystyle\frac{12}{\sqrt{20}} )\\\\ =5.6161\approx 5.62  

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) 5.62 points

A water tank holds 486 gallons but leaking at a rate 4 gallons per week. A second water tank holds 648 gallons but is leaking at
notka56 [123]

The first tank contains

486 gal - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em>

gal of water after <em>t</em> weeks.

Similarly, the second tank contains

648 gal - (7 gal/week) <em>t</em>

gal of water.

The tanks hold the same amount of water when these two amounts are equal:

486 gal - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 648 gal - (7 gal/week) <em>t</em>

(7 gal/week) <em>t</em> - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 648 gal - 486 gal

(3 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 162 gal

<em>t</em> = (162 gal) / (3 gal/week)

<em>t</em> = 54 weeks

Driving 3 miles turn right drive 4 miles what is your straight line distance from your starting point
Flura [38]

5 miles

You can use the special right triangles for this equation. Since the side lengths are 3 and 4, the hypotenuse of the triangle would be 5, or you can use the equation a2 + b2 = c2, 3^2 + 4^2 =  c2, 25 = c2, c=5
