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.

If P = 2l + 2w, the formula to find w is .<br> If P is 30 units and l is 10 units, w is units.
Helen [10]

Answer:

<u>If P is 30 units and l is 10 units, w is 5 units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check the information given to resolve the question:

P = 2l + 2w

If P is 30 units and l is 10 units, w is units

2. Replacing with the values:

P = 2l + 2w

30 = 2 (10) + 2w

30 = 20 + 2w

-2w = 20 -30 (Subtracting 2w and - 30 to both sides)

-2w = - 10

2w = 10 (Multiplying by - 1 at both sides)

<u>w = 5 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)</u>

<u>If P is 30 units and l is 10 units, w is 5 units</u>

<u>Note: Same answer than question 13938258</u>
