Answer:

Light travels 980,000 times faster than sound

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound waves

1000 feet per second = 10³ feet per second.

Light

9.8×10^8 feet per second.

How many times faster does light travel than sound travels

We divide light's speed by the sound waves speed

9.8*10^8/10^3 = 9.8*10^5 = 980,000

Light travels 980,000 times faster than sound

In 16% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent, the father is the stay-at-home parent (Pew Research, June 5, 2014). An independe

Answer:

a)

n = (\frac{z\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{0.03})^2, in which z is related to the confidence level.

b) A sample size of 991 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In 16% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent, the father is the stay-at-home parent

This means that \pi = 0.16

a. What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03 (round up to the next whole number).

This is n for which M = 0.03. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = z\sqrt{\frac{0.16*0.84}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = z\sqrt{0.16*0.84}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{z\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{z\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{0.03})^2

n = (\frac{z\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{0.03})^2, in which z is related to the confidence level.

Question b:

99% confidence level,

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

n = (\frac{z\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{0.03})^2

n = (\frac{2.575\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{0.03})^2

n = 990.2

Rounding up

A sample size of 991 is needed.

Which is the correct comparison?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

260 minutes > 4.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1h=60 min.

0.25 h=¼h=¼*60min=15min.

4.25h=4h+0.25h=60*4+15min=240+15=255min

260>255

Please help me find arc CD
jeka57 [31]

Answer: Choice C.  107.9 degrees   (approximate)

=======================================================

Explanation:

Draw a line segment from A to B. Mark point E as the intersection between this new line segment and the arc CD.

We can see that AE = 4000 because it's another radius of the same circle. The diagram shows that EB = 2800.

So,

AB = AE+EB = 4000+2800 = 6800

Because point D is a tangent point, this means radius AD is perpendicular to tangent segment BD. We have a 90 degree angle at point D, or we can write angle BDA = 90.

With triangle BDA being a right triangle, we can use a trig ratio to compute angle DAB. I'll call this angle A for short.

---------

Apply the cosine ratio. Focus entirely on triangle BDA.

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A) = AD/AB

cos(A) = 4000/6800

cos(A) = 10/17

A = arccos(10/17)

A = 53.9681209275294 ... make sure your calc is in degree mode

A = 53.968

Angle DAB = 53.968 degrees approximately

This represents exactly half of central angle CAD, so we'll double the value to get 2*53.968 = 107.936 which rounds to 107.9 degrees showing why choice C is the answer.

Central angle CAD is exactly equal to the arc it cuts off, minor arc CD. The central angle is roughly 107.9 degrees of a full 360 degree circle, and the same can be said about the outer arc edge piece of minor arc CD.
