Answer: 5/6 pages per minute

Explanation:

1.) set up problem

7 1/2 ÷ 9

2.) make 7 1/2 an improper fraction by multiplying 7 by the denominator of 1/2 and adding it to the numerator

15/2 ÷ 9

3.) flip the division sign to a multiplication sign and set a 1 over 9

15/2 • 1/9

4.) multiply

15/28

5.) simplify

Ulleksa [173]

The area of a parallelogram is denoted by b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.

In this case, the b is 15 inches, and the h is 4 inches. Multiply these together and you get: 15 * 4 = 60 square inches.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is $295.9 < \mu< 324.1$

A 95% level of confidence mean that there is 95% chance that the true population mean will be in this interval

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 25$

The mean is $\= x = 310 \ mg$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 36 \ mg$

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

=> $\alpha = 5\%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table , the value is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }$

substituting values

$E = 1.96 * \frac{36 }{\sqrt{25} }$

$E = 14.1$

The 95% level of confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\= x - E < \mu$

substituting values

$310- 14.1 < \mu< 310+ 14.1$

$295.9 < \mu< 324.1$

The 95% level of confidence mean that there is 95% chance that the true population mean will be in this interval

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) P = (0.3)(0.2) + (0.5)(0.6) + (0.2)(0.8)

P = 0.52

(b) (0.5)(0.6) = 0.3

P = 0.3 / 0.52

P = 0.58
