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.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -4) and (7, 4)?
Andrews [41]
The correct option is: Option (C) 2

Explanation:

The slope formula is = m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Insert the values in the above formula:

m = \frac{4 - (-4)}{7 - 3} =  \frac{8}{4} = 2

Which is Option (C).

The escalator rises 25° from the ground and a vertical distance of 42 feet. How much horizontal distance does the escalator cove
zvonat [6]
Tangent (25) = opp / adj = 42 / horizontal distance
horizontal distance =  42 / tangent (25)
horizontal distance = 42 / 0.46631
horizontal distance = <span> <span> <span> 90.068838326435200 </span> </span> </span>
horizontal distance = 90.1 feet

A landscaper buys 1 gallon of plant fertilizer. He uses 1/5 of the fertilizer, and then divides the rest into 3 smaller bottles.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

\frac{4}{15} of a gallon per bottle

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}

\frac{4}{5} / 3 = \frac{4}{5} x \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{15}

You have exactly $120to spend on a new outfit.if your state has 8% sales tax, what is the highest pre-tax price you can pay with
mafiozo [28]
The highest pre-tax price I can pay =x
I suggest this equation:
x+(8/100)x=120
least common multiple=100
100x+8x=12000
108x=12000
x=12000/108
x=111.11111...≈111.11$

The highest pre-tax price that i can pay without going over budget is $111.11

In 10 and 11, find the area in square units of each polygon.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

10: 12 units^2 11: 33 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

10:

Divide into square and 2 triangles (for simplicity)

square=9

one triangle=3/2

both triangles combined=3

9+3=12

11:

divide into 2 triangles

top triangle: height= 4, base=6

bottom triangle: height= 7, base=6

top=12

bottom=21

Add, 33.
