Re-arranging the numbers;
13.0, 13.5, 13.6, 14.1, 14.8, 15.8, 19.1, 21.6, 26.0, 30.8

Mean, x_bar = (13.0+13.5+13.6+14.1+14.8+15.8+19.1+21.6+26.0+30.8)/10 = 18.23

Standard deviation, sigma = Sqrt [{(13-18.23)^2+(13.5-18.23)^2+(13.6-18.23)^2+(14.1-18.23)^2+(14.8-18.23)^2+(15.8-18.23)^2+(19.1-18.23)^2+(21.6-18.23)^2+(26-18.23)^2+(30.8-18.23)^2}/10] = Sqrt [{27.3529+22.3729+21.4369+17.0569+11.7649+5.9049+0.7569+11.3569+60.3729+158.0049}/10] = Sqrt [336.381/10] = 5.8

Therefore,
x_bar = 18.23
sigma = 5.8
At 99% confidence, Z = 2.58

Confidence interval = x_bar +/- Z*sigma/Sqrt (n) = 18.23+/- 2.58*5.8/Sqrt (10) = 18.23+/-4.73 = [(18.23-4.73), (18.23+4.73)] = [13.5,22.96]

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

x = 10.66 so Daniel can purchase 10 snacks without going over his budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

65 = 4.50x + 17

Subtract 17 from both sides, you're left with 48 = 4.50x

You then divide 4.50 from both sides to get your answer!

Lisa has a certain amount of money. She spent $39 and has 3/4 of the original amount left. How much money did she have originall
antiseptic1488 [7]
We know that she spent $39, and has 3/4 of the original amount left. Our goal is to find the original amount. We can use the equation. x - 39 = 3/4x. Once we subtract x on the left hand side, we get -39 = -1/4x. Once we multiply -39 by -4, we get 146. She originally had $156.

A board game contains a cube withone of the letters A, G, E, I, K, and W on each of its faces. With each roll, what is the proba
LenKa [72]
The probability that a vowel will land face up on the cube would be 1/2. This is because there are six total letters; three vowels and three consonants, so there is a 3/6 chance of it being a vowel and you simplify it down to 1/2. I hope this helped :)
