Help me please with this question

Mathematics
1 answer:
kirill115 [55]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  5.0

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the intensity of the larger quake I2, and that of the smaller quake I1, then we want to find I2/I1.

The log of that ratio is given by ...

  log(I2/I1) = log(I2) -log(I1)

  = R2 -R1

  = 8.2 -7.5

  log(I2/I1) = 0.7

Taking antilogs, we have ...

  I2/I1 = 10^0.7

  I2/I1 = 5.0

The stronger quake is 5.0 times as intense as the lesser one.

garri49 [273]

Complete question:

The manager of a supermarket would like to determine the amount of time that customers wait in a check-out line. He randomly selects 45 customers and records the amount of time from the moment they stand in the back of a line until the moment the cashier scans their first item. He calculates the mean and standard deviation of this sample to be barx = 4.2 minutes and s = 2.0 minutes. If appropriate, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean time (in minutes) that customers at this supermarket wait in a check-out line

Answer:

(3.699, 4.701)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 45

Sample mean, x' = 4.2

Standard deviation \sigma = 2.0

Required:

Find a 90% CI for true mean time

First find standard error using the formula:

S.E = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

= \frac{2}{\sqrt{45}}

= \frac{2}{6.7082}

SE = 0.298

Standard error = 0.298

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 45 - 1 = 44

To find t at 90% CI,df = 44:

Level of Significance α= 100% - 90% = 10% = 0.10

t_\alpha_/_2_, _d_f = t_0_._0_5_, _d_f_=_4_4 = 1.6802

Find margin of error using the formula:

M.E = S.E * t

M.E = 0.298 * 1.6802

M.E = 0.500938 ≈ 0.5009

Margin of error = 0.5009

Thus, 90% CI = sample mean ± Margin of error

Lower limit = 4.2 - 0.5009 = 3.699

Upper limit = 4.2 + 0.5009 = 4.7009 ≈ 4.701

Confidence Interval = (3.699, 4.701)

Suppose you take out a loan for $9,000, at 12% ordinary interest. If the amount of interest is $762.00, what is the time period?
DaniilM [7]
For the answer to the question above,
<span>Let's figure out the formula first
FV = PV(1+i/n)^(nt)
9762= 9000(1+0.12/12)^(12x)
9762= 9000(1.01)^12x
9762/9000=1.01^12x
1.08467=1.01^12x
ln1.08467/12 x ln1.01=0.681 years (8.17 months) same as my calculator
So,
0.681x360=
245.16 days is</span><span> the time period</span>

Natali [406]

Given :

A sailor is 30 m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat.

The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees.

The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat.

To Find :

How far in front of the boat is the orca.

Solution :

Let, distance of boat front from the crow's nest is x.

So,

\dfrac{30}{20+x}=tan \ 15^{\circ}\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{tan \ 15^{\circ}}-20\\\\x=111.94-20\\\\x=91.94\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
