The Ohio Department of Agriculture tested 203 fuel samples across the state in 1999 for accuracy of the reported octane level. F

or premium grade, 14 out of 105 samples failed. (They did not meet the ASTM specification and the FTC octane posting rule.) How many samples would be needed to create a 99 percent confidence interval that is within 0.02 of the true proportion of premium grade fuel-quality failures?

Answer:

The Sample size is 1918.89035

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that 14 out of 105 samples failed.

Therefore p = 14/105 = 0.13 3... and q=1-0.133=0.867

Samples would be needed to create a 99 percent confidence interval.

Subtract the confidence level from 1, then divide by two.

\frac{(1 -0.99)}{2}=0.005

By standard normal table z=2.5758≈2.58

Calculate the sample size as:

n=\frac{z^2pq}{e^2}

Where,  e is the margin of error,

Substitute the respective values.

n=\frac{(2.58)^2(0.133)(0.867)}{(0.02)^2}=1918.89

Hence, the Sample size is 1918.89035

The slope of the line below is 2. Which of the following is the the point-slope form of the line?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:  y + 1 = 2 (x -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Point on the line is (1, -1) and slope is 2

m = 2

y1 = -1

x1 = 1

y - (-1) = 2 (x - 1) or y + 1 = 2 (x -1)

I need help and please explain how to actually solve these please! Thankyou

Realize the tangent function has a period of 180°, so when your calculator (or memory) tells you
.. θ = arctan(-1)
.. θ = -45°
you can translate that value into the desired range by adding multiples of 180° to get the two solutions ...
.. θ = 135°
.. θ = 315°

A parallelogram has sides 10m and 12m and an angle of 45°. Find the distance between the 12m-sides.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The distance between 12m-sides is 5\sqrt{2}m.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the parallelogram has sides 10m and 12m and an angle of 45°.

Draw an altitude from one 12m side to another 12 m side as shown in below figure.

The opposite angles of parallelogram are same. Two angles are obtuse angles and two are acute angle.

Since angle C is acute angle therefore it must be 45 degree.

\sin\theta=\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}

\sin C=\frac{BE}{BC}

\sin(45^{\circ})=\frac{d}{10}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{d}{10}

\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=d

\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=d

\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2}=d

5\sqrt{2}=d

Therefore the distance between 12m-sides is 5\sqrt{2}m.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h and p are the number of history and psych textbooks, respectively.

store sold a total of 411 textbooks in a week.

h + p = 411

The number of history textbooks sold was 69 less than the number of psychology textbooks sold.

h = p - 69

Substitution

(p-69) + p = 411

2p = 411+69

p = 240

h = p-69 = 171

171 history books and 250 psych books
