Chips Ahoy wants to perform a study to determine the number of chocolate chips in their cookies. To that end, they collected a s

ample of 40 cookies. The mean of this sample is 23.95 chocolate chips. From past studies, we know that the standard deviation is 2.55 chocolate chips. Construct a 99% confidence interval of the mean of chocolate chips in all such cookies.

The formula for the confidence interval is given by

Sample mean + z*[σ/√n], and
Sample mean - z*[σ/√n]

We have:
Sample mean = 23.95
n = 40 
σ = 2.55
z* for 99% confidence = 2.58

Substitute these values into the formula, we have

23.95 + (2.58)(2.55÷√40) = 24.99
23.95 - (2.58)(2.55÷√40) = 22.91

So the lower interval is 22.91 and the highest interval is 24.99

A line has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of (0, –1). What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and p
givi [52]
Well, the first line has a slope of -3, and runs through 0, -1.

a line parallel to that one, will have the same exact slope of -3.

now, we know about this other parallel line that it runs through -3,1, and of course, since is parallel, it has a slope of -3

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
&&(~ -3 &,& 1~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies -3
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-1=-3[x-(-3)]
\\\\\\
y-1=-3(x+3)
\implies 
y-1=-3x-9\implies y=-3x-8

What is the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations? 5x − 3y = −11 2x − 6y = −14 −1 0 1 2
Alekssandra [29.7K]
5x - 3y = -11 (×2)
2x - 6y = -14 (x5)

10x - 6y = -22
10x - 30y = -70
---------------------- -
24y = 48
y = 2

<span>2x-1/4(12x+4)=3
</span>⇒ 2x -1/4*(12x) -1/4*4= 3 (distributive property)
⇒ 2x -3x -1= 3
⇒ -x= 3+1
⇒ -x= 4
⇒ x= -4
<span>
Final answer: x=-4~

A squared +b squared= c squared
a squared+7 squared =10 squared
a squared + 49= 100
Then subtract 49 from 100 which is 51. Then your square root that number which is 7.14143
