Answer:

A sample of 153 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation is 15 for the population of all adults.

This means that \sigma = 15

We wish to find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students. Suppose we want to be 90% confident that our sample mean is within 2 IQ points of the true mean.

This means that a sample of n is needed.

n is found when M = 2. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

2 = 1.645\frac{15}{\sqrt{n}}

2\sqrt{n} = 1.645*15

Simplifying both sides by 2

\sqrt{n} = 1.645*7.5

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.645*7.5)^2

n = 152.2

Rounding up:

A sample of 153 is needed.

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is attached below.

Its given that SV is parallel to RU. We have to find the value of x.

Observe that, if we join point V to U, we will obtain a parallelogram RSVU. One of the properties of a parallelogram is that the sum of its two adjacent angles is always 180 degrees.

So, the two adjacent angles would be: ∠S and ∠R

From the figure:

∠S = 5x + 4

∠R = 44 + x

Since,

∠S + ∠R must be 180 degrees, we can write:

∠S + ∠R  = 180

5x + 4 + 44 + x = 180

6x + 48 = 180

6x = 132

x = 22

Therefore, the value of x is 22.

Columbus Ohio Population: 8.23 * 10^5
MakcuM [25]
This is Scientific Notation here's what you have to do:

First find the Notation:

8.23×10^5

It positive so go to the right.

=823000.

Next do the same thing but with the next Notation:

3.19×10^8

Its positive so go to the right:

=319000000.

Then compare the Notation's

823000. and 319000000.

319000000. is bigger than 823000.

So your answer is 319000000. so its United States.

Is the triangle an equilateral triangle
solong [7]
It is not an equilateral triangle. To prove this, you must solve for x. I found x by setting 2x+5.2 = 3x+1.2 to get x=4. Then I plugged 4 into equation to see if they were equal. 2(4)+5.2= 13.2 and 3(4)+1.3=13.2 but 2(4)+6.2=14.2. This allows us to conclude that the triangle is not equilateral because all of the sides are NOT congruent. Hope that helped:))
