A double negative makes a positive
-9 - (-4) = -9 + 4 = -5
I would be better to purchase whole onions at $1.99 per pound, and cut them yourself
<h3>Optimization of cost</h3>
Number of bowls = 50
Weight of each bowl = 8
Total weight of the onion soup = 8 x 50 = 400 ounces
Note that:
1 pound = 16 ounces
Total weight in pounds = 400/16
Total weight in pounds = 25 pounds
If you buy the whole onions and purchase at $1.99 per pound
Total cost = 25 x 1.99 = $49.75
If you purchase pre-sliced onions at $2.99 per pound
Total cost = 25 x $2.99 = $74.75
Since it is cheaper to purchase whole onions at $1.99 per pound, it is the better choice

<u>Answer with explanation:</u>
As per given , we have
A sample of 50 gribbles finds an average length of 3.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.72.
i.e. n= 50
Degree of freedom = n-1=49


The point estimate of the population mean is equals to the sample mean.
i.e. The best estimate for the length of gribbles= 3.1 mm
Also, population standard deviation is unknown , then the confidence interval would be :

For df= 49 and significance level of 0.05 , the t- value (using t-distribution table) would be :

Now, Margin of error : 

95% confidence interval :
