Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the total of miles Marisa is going to drive; 200 + 220 = 420

Next, divide the total miles by the average miles Marisa can travel on one gallon of gas; 420 / 28 = 15

(Hope this helps!)

Answer:a

a

$336.04 < \mu < 443.96$

b

The margin of error will increase

c

The margin of error will decreases

d

The 99% confidence interval is $0.4107 < p < 0.4293$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size $n = 19$

The sample mean is $\= x = \$\ 390$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = \$ \ 120$

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table

So

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

The margin of error is mathematically represented as

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

=> $E = 1.96 * \frac{120}{\sqrt{19} }$

=> $E = 53.96$

The 95% confidence interval is

$\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E$

=> $390 - 53.96 < \mu < 390 - 53.96$

=> $336.04 < \mu < 443.96$

When the confidence level increases the $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ also increases which increases the margin of error hence the confidence level becomes wider

Generally the sample size mathematically varies with margin of error as follows

$n \ \ \alpha \ \ \frac{1}{E^2 }$

So if the sample size increases the margin of error decrease

The sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\r p = \frac{210}{500}$

$\r p = 0.42$

Given that the confidence level is 0.99 the level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

The critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }* \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p )}{n} }$

=> $E = 0.42 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.42 (1- 0.42 )}{ 500} }$

=> $E = 0.0093$

The 99% confidence interval is

$\r p - E < p < \r p + E$

$0.42 - 0.0093 < p < 0.42 + 0.0093$

$0.4107 < p < 0.4293$

3(x-6) + 4 + 5x - 6<br><br> (use distributive property)<br><br> please help asap!

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

8x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 6) + 4 + 5x - 6 $\longmapsto$ Distribute 3 to (x - 6)

3(x) - 3(6) + 4 + 5x - 6

3x - 18 + 4 + 5x - 6

Simplify:

3x + 5x - 18 + 4 - 6

8x -18 - 2

8x - 20

What is the product of 4 2/3 and 11 1/4

mihalych1998 [28]

First you have to get rid of the mixed numbers, so multiply the whole numbers with the denominators and add the numerators so that way you get:

14/3 times 45/4....then cross simplify if possible and finally you can multiply the numerators and the denominators...

7/1 times 15/2 = 105/2....simplify it and get: 52 1/2
