Answer:

1a

  P(39 <  X < 48  ) = 0.8767

1b

    95% of all sample means will fall between 40.1  <  \mu < 49.9

1c

    \= x = 41. 795

2

   n =  25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is n   =  45

   The population standard deviation is  \sigma =  10

   The sample size is n  =  16

Generally the standard error of the mean is mathematically represented as

       \sigma_{x} =  \frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

=>    \sigma_{x} =  \frac{ 10 }{\sqrt{16 } }

=>    \sigma_{x} = 2.5

Generally the probability that the sample mean will be between 39 and 48 minutes is

    P(39 <  X < 48  ) =  P( \frac{ 39 - 45}{ 2.5} <  \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } <  \frac{ 48 - 45}{ 2.5} )

=> P(39 <  X < 48  ) =  P(-2.4 < Z< 1.2 )

=> P(39 <  X < 48  ) =  P( Z< 1.2 ) - P(Z <  -2.4)

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.2  and  -2.4  is

=> P( Z< 1.2 ) = 0.88493

and  

    P( Z< - 2.4 ) = 0.0081975

So

   P(39 <  X < 48  ) = 0.88493 -0.0081975

=> P(39 <  X < 48  ) = 0.8767

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>   E = 1.96 * 2.5  

=>   E =4.9  

Generally the  95% of all sample means will fall between

      \mu  -E <  and   \mu   +E

=>   45  -4.9\   and \  45  + 4.9

Generally the value which  90% of sample means is  greater than is mathematically represented

      P( \= X >  \= x  ) = 0.90

=>   P( \= X >  \= x  ) =  P( \frac{\= X  - \mu }{ \sigma_x} >  \frac{\= x  -45 }{ 2.5}  ) = 0.90

=>  P( \= X >  \= x  ) =  P( Z >  z  ) = 0.90

Generally from the z-table  the critical  value  of  0.90  is  

      z = -1.282

      \frac{\= x  -45 }{ 2.5}  = -1.282

=>   \= x = 41. 795

Considering question 2

 Generally we are told that the standard deviation of the mean to be one fifth of the population standard deviation, this is mathematically represented as

         s = \frac{1}{5} \sigma

  Generally the standard deviation of the sample mean is mathematically  represented as

          s = \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }

=>       \frac{1}{5} \sigma = \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }

=>       n =  5^2

=>       n =  25

Camille invested money into an account that earned annual simple interest with a rate of 6.5%. She made no additional deposits o
vichka [17]

Answer:

$30341.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it says simple interest, use the formula I = Prt.

(I is interest, r is the % rate as a decimal, t is the time)

So, you have to solve the equation,

1755 = P (0.065)(9)

Since 0.065 x 9 = 0.585, the equation can be simplified to

1755 = 0.585P

Then, to get P, you divide both sides by 0.585

P = 1755/0.585 = $30341.88

Y = (x + 9)(x-4)<br><br>Now we need to multiply our binomials​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

x^{2}+5x-36

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply binomials there are 2 ways. F.O.I.L., or the box method.

I will use the box method, and I hope it helps you!

After looking at the picture, this is not the answer quite yet.

x^{2}+9x-4x\\-36

Subtract 4x from 9x.

9x-4x=5x

So, the answer will be x^{2}+5x-36

At Clucker's Chicken, a bucket of 4 pieces of dark meat and 5 pieces of white meat costs 7.05. A bucket of 3 pieces of dark meat
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The cost of a piece of dark meat is <u>$0.70</u> and the cost of a piece of white meat is <u>$0.85</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At Clucker's Chicken, a bucket of 4 pieces of dark meat and 5 pieces of white meat costs 7.05.

A bucket of 3 pieces of dark meat and 8 pieces of white meat costs 8.90.

Now, to find the cost of a piece of dark meat and the cost of a piece of white meat.

Let the cost of a piece of dark meat be x.

And the cost of a piece of white meat be y.

A bucket of 4 pieces of dark meat and 5 pieces of white meat costs $7.05.

So,

4x+5y=7.05

4x=7.05-5y  

x=\frac{7.05-5y}{4}   .......(1)

Now, a bucket of 3 pieces of dark meat and 8 pieces of white meat costs $8.90.

3x+8y=8.90

Substituting the value of x from equation (1) we get:

3(\frac{7.05-5y}{4})+8y=8.90

\frac{21.15-15y}{4} +8y=8.90

\frac{21.15-15y+32y}{4} =8.90

<em>Multiplying both sides by 4 we get:</em>

21.15-15y+32y=35.60

21.15+17y=35.60

<em>Subtracting both sides by 21.15 we get:</em>

17y=14.45

<em>Dividing both sides by 17 we get:</em>

y=0.85

<u>The cost of a piece of white meat = $0.85.</u>

Now, substituting the value of y in equation (1) we get:

x=\frac{7.05-5y}{4}

x=\frac{7.05-5\times 0.85}{4}

x=\frac{7.05-4.25}{4}

x=\frac{2.8}{4}

x=0.70.

<u>The cost of a piece of dark meat = $0.70.</u>

Therefore, the cost of a piece of dark meat is <u>$0.70</u> and the cost of a piece of white meat is <u>$0.85</u>.
