Answer:

19 beers must be sampled.

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 Z-table as such z has a p-value 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.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees.

This means that \sigma = 0.26

If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean beer temperature is within 0.1 degrees of the true mean temperature, how many beers must we sample?

This is n for which M = 0.1. So

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

0.1 = 1.645\frac{0.26}{\sqrt{n}}

0.1\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.26

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1})^2

n = 18.3

Rounding up:

19 beers must be sampled.

Holly made 12 pair of earrings for each of her girlfriends. To wrap the pairs individually, she creates a simple cardboard gift
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

3280cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the gift box is folded into a Pyramid with a square base.

Hence, we are to find the Surface Area of a square pyramid

From the question, we are given:

Length of the base of the square = 10cm

Triangle

Side length = 10cm

Height = 8 2/3 cm

A square Pyramid has 5 faces: 4 triangles and 1 square.

Step 1

Find the Area of the square

Formula = Side length² this is because all the side of a square is equal.

Length of the base = 10cm

Area of the square = (10cm)²

= 100cm²

Step 2

Find the Area of the triangle. We are told the 4 triangles are equilateral, which means their side are equal.

Hence, for one triangle.

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

Base = side length = 10cm

Height = 8 2/3 = 8.6666666667cm

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × 10 × 8.6666666667

Area of a triangle = 43.333333333cm²

Since we have 4 triangles

We would have : 4 × 43.333333333cm²

= 173.33333333cm²

The Area of the 4 equilateral triangles =

173.33333333cm²

Step 3

The Surface area of the Square Pyramid

= Sum of the areas of all the faces.

= 100cm² + 173.33333333cm²

= 273.33333333cm²

Therefore, the minimum amount of cardboard needed to make one gift box = 273.33333333cm²

Step 4

The minimum amount of cardboard Holly needs to create 12 gift boxes to wrap each pair of earrings individually is calculated as: 12 × 273.33333333cm²

= 3280cm²
