Dr. Ashby is studying the heart rate of adult men. Preliminary data suggests that the standard deviation of heart rates for adul

t men is σ = 7.5 σ=7.5sigma, equals, 7, point, 5 beats per minute (bpm). He plans on taking a sample of n nn men to construct a 99 % 99%99, percent confidence interval for the mean heart rate. He wants the margin of error to be no more than 3 bpm 3 bpm3, start text, space, b, p, m, end text.

Answer:

n=42 adult men

Step-by-step explanation:

-The minimum sample size to get a desired margin of error, E is calculated using the formula:

n\geq( \frac{z\sigma}{E})^2

-Given that \sigma=7.5, \ \ E=3\ , \ z_{0.005}=2.58, we can substitute to solve for n in the above formula:

n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{E})^2\\\\\therefore n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\sigma}{E})^2\\\\=(\frac{2.58\times7.5}{3})^2\\\\=41.6025\approx42

Hence, the desired minimum sample size, n is 42 adult men.

At a concert 20% of the audience members were teenagers.If the numbers of teenagers at the concert was 360, what was the total n
puteri [66]

So we know 20% of the audience are teenagers, and there are 360 teenagers.

Therefore, 1/5 of the audience members were teenagers, and that means 1/5 of the audience members is 360.

Multiply it by 5 to get answer:

360 * 5 = 1800

The total number of audience members are 1800.

Answer:

4^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

So given sequence is a geometric sequence where terms increase or decrease by a constant common ratio(r)

Formula to find terms in Geometric sequence is " ar^n-1 where a is first term , r is common ratio and n is number of items

In this case , first term (a) is 1 , common ratio(r) is succeeding term/preceding term = 4/1 = 4 and number of items be (n).

Applying "ar^n-1 " we get,

1*4^n-1 which is , 4^n-1

Thats the formula which represents the situation....

weight A weighs 50 pounds. weight B weighs 100 pounds. if A is placed 6 feet from the pivot, how far must B be placed from the p
Anit [1.1K]

To achieve balance, the momentum on both sides must be equal so that it cancels out. Momentum is simply the product of mass and distance, therefore:

 

50 pounds * 6 ft = 100 pounds * X

X = 3 ft

 

Hence B must be placed 3 ft from the pivot.
