7. The following clues are given about a bucket of bubble gum.

scZoUnD [109]

There were 472 pieces of bubble gum in the bucket

Step-by-step explanation:

The following clues are given about a bucket of bubble gum

1. There are between 400 - 500 pieces of gum in the bucket

2. The bubble gum was purchased in 4 equally-sized bags

3. The product of all the digits is 56

Let us explain how to solve the problem

∵ The number of the pieces of gum is between 400 and 500

∴ The number of pieces is 3-digit number and its hundred digit is 4

∵ The product of all digits is 56

∵ One of the digit is 4

∵ 56 ÷ 4 = 14

∴ The product of the ten digit and the one digit is 14

∵ 14 = 2 × 7

∴ The ten digit and the one digit are 2 and 7 or 7 and 2

- If the ten digit is 2 and the one digit is 7

∴ The number of pieces is 427

∵ The bubble gum was purchased in 4 equally-sized bags

- That means there were 4 pieces of bubble gum in each bag

∴ The number of pieces must divisible by 4

- The number is divisible by 4 if it is an even number and the number

formed from the ten digit and one digit is divisible by 4

∵ 427 is an odd number

∴ 427 not divisible by 4

- If the ten digit is 7 and the one digit is 2

∴ The number of pieces is 472

∵ 472 is an even number

∵ 72 divisible by 4

∴ 472 is divisible by 4

∴ There are 472 pieces of gum in the bucket

There were 472 pieces of bubble gum in the bucket

A study of peach trees found that the average number of peaches per tree was 725. The standard deviation of the population is 70

TEA [102]

Answer:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

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:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

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 standard deviation of the population is 70 peaches per tree.

This means that $\sigma = 70$

How many trees does she need to sample to obtain an average accurate to within 10 peaches per tree?

She needs to sample n trees.

n is found when M = 10. So

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

$10 = 1.96\frac{70}{\sqrt{n}}$

$10\sqrt{n} = 1.96*70$

Dividing both sides by 10:

$\sqrt{n} = 1.96*7$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*7)^2$

$n = 188.2$

Rounding up:

She needs to sample 189 trees.
