Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining confidence interval is expressed as

Confidence interval

= mean ± z × s/ √n

Where

z is the value of the z score

s = standard deviation

n = sample size

a) The 95​% confidence level has a z value of 1.96

The 99​% confidence level has a z value of 2.58

Since 99​% confidence level z value is greater than 95​% confidence level z value, if we input it into the formula, it will result to a higher confidence interval. So changing from a 95​% confidence level to a 99​% confidence level would make a confidence interval wider.

b) The √15 is smaller than the √350. This means that if we make use of the formula, √350 will give a lower confidence interval than that of √15. Therefore, the confidence interval would be narrower changing from a sample size of 15 to a sample size of 350.

c) Applying the formula, a standard deviation of 15 pounds would result to a lower confidence interval than a standard deviation of 20 pounds. Therefore, the confidence interval would be wider changing from a standard deviation of 15 pounds to a standard deviation of 20 pounds.

Mahmoud earns $450 per week plus a 20% commission as a car salesman. He wants his
frosja888 [35]

The complete question implies that we define an inequality that represents the relationship between the number of hours worked in a week and the weekly sales

The inequality that relates the number of hours to the weekly sales is:

450 + 0.20x \ge 35y

We make use of the following representation:

x \to weekly sales from cars.

y \to hours worked in a week

His weekly salary is then calculated as:

Salary (S) = Earnings per week + Commission * Sales from car

So, we have:

S = 450 + 20\% * x

Express percentage as decimal

S = 450 + 0.20* x

S = 450 + 0.20x

Assume he works for y hours in a week.

His hourly rate is:

Hourly = \frac{S}{y} --- i.e. weekly salary divided by number of hours

Hourly = \frac{450 + 0.20x}{y}

For this rate to be at least \$35, the following condition must be true

Hourly \ge 35 --- i.e. is hourly rate must be greater than or equal 35

So, we have:

\frac{450 + 0.20x}{y} \ge 35

Multiply both sides by y

450 + 0.20x \ge 35y

Help me please i dont understand this​
faltersainse [42]
Firstly find two coordinates that lie on the line, we have (0,6) and (8,10).

Slope= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (10-6)/(8-0)
= 4/8
= 1/2

The answer is B

The following system has no solutions: y=4x+5 and y=2x+3<br><br> True<br> False
Hitman42 [59]
False, both lines are oblique (diagonal) so they meet at some point on a graph. They can only have no solutions if the lines are parallel/have the same slope.
