Sarah is doing research on the average age of first-year resident physicians. She wants her estimate to be accurate to within 1

year. From past studies, she knows the population standard deviation is 8.265. How many first-year residents must she survey to be 95% confident?

Answer: The number of first-year residents she must survey to be 95% confident= 263

Step-by-step explanation:

When population standard deviation (\sigma)  is known and margin of error(E) is given, then the minimum sample size (n) is given by :-

n=(\dfrac{z^*\sigma}{E})^2, z* = Two-tailed critical value for the given confidence interval.

For 95% confidence level , z* = 1.96

As, \sigma = 8.265, E = 1

So, n= (\dfrac{1.96\times8.265}{1})^2 =(16.1994)^2\\\\= 262.42056036\approx263\ \ \ [\text{Rounded to the next integer}]

Hence, the number of first-year residents she must survey to be 95% confident= 263

You get tired of the sand and head up to the amusement park. You can purchase 20 ride tickets for $14 or you can purchase 30 rid
Helga [31]

Answer:

The one with the better deal would be 30 ride tickets for $22.50 this is because you pay less money for more rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you divide 20 by 14. Doing this will give you the cost of a ride per ticket.

20/14 = 1.42

Then you do the same thing to 30 and 22.50.

30/22.50 = 1.30

Last you compare which deal has less money per ride.

1.42 > 1.30

write the standard form of the equation of the circle with endpoints of a diameter at the points (9,2) and (-7,5)
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

(x-1)²+(y-3.5)² = 265/4

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the midpoint (center of the circle)

(9+-7)/2, (2+5)/2

(1, 3.5) = center

then distance formula to find diameter

√(9- -7)²+(2-5)²=√256+9 = √265

The radius is half the diameter = (√265)/2

Formula for circle is (x-h)²+(y-k)²=r², where (h, k) is the center

Now you can plug everything in.

(x-1)²+(y-3.5)² = 265/4

A group of 12 people want to go to a concert. They can travel in a small car that takes one driver and one passenger and two car
trapecia [35]

Answer: There are 60 ways that they can travel to the concert.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people want to go to a concert = 12

Number of cars = 3

Number of drivers in the group = 5

So, using the "Fundamental theorem of counting":

We get that

5\times 4\times 3\\\\=60

Hence, there are 60 ways that they can travel to the concert.
