Marine biologists have been studying the effects of acidification of the oceans on weights of male baluga whales in the Arctic O

cean. One of the studies involves a random sample of 16 baluga whales. The researchers want to create a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true mean weight of male baluga whales. Their data follow a normal distribution. The population standard deviation of weights of male baluga whales is ????=125 kg, and the researchers feel comfortable using this standard deviation for their confidence interval.
Assuming the relevant requirements are met, calculate the margin of error in estimating the true mean weight of male baluga whales in the Artic Ocean.
a. 15.31 kg
b. 51.40 kg
c. 61.25 kg
d. 80.49 kg

Answer:

c. 61.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error in estimating the true mean weight of male baluga whales in the Artic Ocean.

a. 15.31 kg

b. 51.40 kg

c. 61.25 kg

d. 80.49 kg

Margin of Error Formula= z × Standard deviation/√n

95% confidence interval = 1.96

Standard deviation = 125kg

n = 16 samples

Margin of error= 1.96 × 125/√16

= 1.96 × 125/4

= 245/4

= 61.25kg

The margin of error in estimating the true mean weight of male baluga whales in the Artic Ocean is 61.25kg

A rectangle has an area of 48 square units and a perimeter of 32 units. What are its dimensions?
baherus [9]
Area is length x width, and perimeter is adding up all the sides together
so if it’s 32 for the perimeter, then the dimensions should be 12 and 4
12x4 is 48
12+12+4+4 is 32

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is 15% which we can write as 0.15 and we multiply that by 30 to get the discount, which is $4.50. We subtract that from the original price; 30 to get $25.50 as the sale price. We want to find out what percent of 30 25.50 is, so we divide 25.50 and 30 to get 0.85. Multiply that by 100 to get 85%.

Elio makes candles that are 14 cm tall. Each candle burns 8 hours before going out. He is wondering how many hours a 21 cm tall
MAXImum [283]
Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.

Find the unit rate

14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h

Divide

21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.

If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.

Hope this helped you! :)

Type the correct answer in the box.
statuscvo [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

V should be written as (1/3) pi r^2 h

V = (1/3) pi r^2 h multiply by 3

3V = pi r^2 h Divide by pi

3V/ pi = r^2 h Divide by r^2

3V / (pi *r^2 ) = h
