A gardener has 8 pounds of fertilizer. He packs the fertilizer into 5/8 pound bags. What is the maximum number of 5/8 pound bags he can pack?

so first you multiply 8 pounds times 5 from 5/8 which is 40/8 pounds bags
now how many 8s can fit in 40 
40 divided by 8 =5 
so he can pack 5 maximum bags

One person wants to get a 95% z-confidence interval with a margin of error of at most 15 based on a population standard deviatio
Bess [88]

Answer:

n=(\frac{1.96(60)}{15})^2 =61.46 \approx 62  

So the answer for this case would be n=62 rounded up to the nearest integer  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".  

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean

\sigma=60 represent the population standard deviation  

n represent the sample size (variable of interest)  

Confidence =95% or 0.95

The margin of error is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)  

And on this case we have that ME =15, and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (1) we got:  

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2 (2)  

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval is provided, z_{\alpha/2}=1.96, replacing into formula (2) we got:  

n=(\frac{1.96(60)}{15})^2 =61.46 \approx 62  

So the answer for this case would be n=62 rounded up to the nearest integer

Solve by factoring<br> x^2-10=9x
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 10 - (9x) = 0

x^2 - 9x - 10 = 0

(x - 10) + (x + 1) = 0

x= 10

x = -1

insens350 [35]

Answer:

\displaystyle s = -\frac{1}{5}h + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Time</em><em> </em>is the dependent variable, so you set your function equal to <em>s</em>. Then, the correlation of the graph has a \displaystyle -\frac{1}{5}<em>rate</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>] from the y-intercept of \displaystyle [0, 20],so we choose this answer choice.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
