There are 25 tiles total - triangles or squares - 84 edges
 
triangle (<em>t</em>) = 3 sides
square (<em>s</em>) = 4 sides

<em>t</em>+<em>s</em>= total tiles 
<em><u>t</u></em><u>+</u><em><u>s</u></em><u> = 25 </u>← solve
3<em>t</em> + 4<em>s</em> = total sides
<u>3</u><em><u>t </u></em><u>+ 4</u><em><u>s</u></em><u> = 84</u> ← solve
<em>
</em><em>t </em>= 16   <em>s</em> = 9

Check

16 + 9 = 25

3(16) + 4(9) = 84
48 + 36 = 84

<u>There are 9 square tiles in the box</u>

A company with a large fleet of cars wants to study the gasoline usage. They check the gasoline usage for 50 company trips chose
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is given by (25.71536 ;28.32464)

And if we need to round we can use the following excel code:

round(lower,2)

[1] 25.72

round(upper,2)

[1] 28.32

And the interval would be (25.72; 28.32)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions  

n=50 represent the sample size  

\bar X= 27.2 represent the sample mean  

s=5.83 represent the sample standard deviation  

m represent the margin of error  

Confidence =88% or 0.88

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Calculate the critical value tc  

In order to find the critical value is important to mention that we don't know about the population standard deviation, so on this case we need to use the t distribution. Since our interval is at 88% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.88=0.12 and \alpha/2 =0.06. The degrees of freedom are given by:  

df=n-1=50-1=49  

We can find the critical values in R using the following formulas:  

qt(0.06,49)

[1] -1.582366

qt(1-0.06,49)

[1] 1.582366

The critical value tc=\pm 1.582366  

Calculate the margin of error (m)  

The margin of error for the sample mean is given by this formula:  

m=t_c \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

m=1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=14.613  

With R we can do this:

m=1.582366*(5.83/sqrt(50))

m

[1] 1.304639

Calculate the confidence interval  

The interval for the mean is given by this formula:  

\bar X \pm t_{c} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

And calculating the limits we got:  

27.02 - 1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=25.715  

27.02 + 1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=28.325

Using R the code is:

lower=27.02-m;lower

[1] 25.71536

upper=27.02+m;upper

[1] 28.32464

The 95% confidence interval is given by (25.71536 ;28.32464)  

And if we need to round we can use the following excel code:

round(lower,2)

[1] 25.72

round(upper,2)

[1] 28.32

And the interval would be (25.72; 28.32)

How do you rewrite y=1-1/2 x in slope-intercept form?
Brrunno [24]
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. It looks like you already have most of the equation there. Just rearrange a little. From what I can tell, you have y=1 - 1/2x. Just move the negative 1/2x in front of the 1. You'll get y= -1/2x + 1. Hope this helped!

Match each function formula with the corresponding transformation of the parent function y = 3 x
Greeley [361]

Answer:

We are given the parent function, y=3^x.

So, we have,

1. Reflection over x-axis.                      2. Reflection over y-axis.  

This  changes f(x) to -f(x).                       This changes f(x) to f(-x)

New function is, y=-3^x                     New function is y=3^{-x}

3. Translated down by 2 units         4. Translated left by 1 unit

This changes f(x) to f(x)-2                   This changes f(x) to f(x+1)

New function is, y=3^x-2                      New function is, y=3^{x+1}

5. Translated right by 2 units           6. Translated up by 1 unit

This changes f(x) to f(x-2)                       This changes f(x) to f(x)+1

New function is y=3^{x-2}                         New function is, y=3^{x}+1
