Gavin took a taxi home from the airport. The taxi fare was $7 plus an additional $0.65 per mile.

Mathematics

Answer:

a)

We know that:

There is a fixed cost of $7

for each mile, you need to pay $0.65

Then if you take the taxi for "m" miles, the total cost is:

c(m) = $0.65*m + $7

Now we know that Gavin also gives a $3 tip, so we need to add this to the cost:

c(m) = ($0.65*m + $7) + $3 = $0.65*m + $10

c(m) = $0.65*m + $10

Now we know that he paid a total of $62.65

Then:

c(m) = $62.65 =  $0.65*m + $10

This is the equation we need to solve in order to find m, the number of miles between Gavin's house and the airport.

b)

$62.65 =  $0.65*m + $10

We only need to isolate m, we will get:

$62.65 - $10 =   $0.65*m

$52.65/$0.65 =  m = 81

This means that there are 81 miles between the airport and Gavin's house.

victus00 [196]

You intend to estimate a population mean μ from the following sample. 26.2 27.7 8.6 3.8 11.6 You believe the population is normally distributed. Find the 80% confidence interval.  Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to twp decimal places.

Answer:

The  Confidence interval = (8.98 , 22.18)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

mean = \dfrac{ 26.2+ 27.7+ 8.6+ 3.8 +11.6 }{5}

mean = 15.58

the standard deviation \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x_i - \mu)^2 }{n}}

the standard deviation = \sqrt{\dfrac{(26.2  - 15.58)^2 +(27.7 - 15.58)^2 +(8.6  - 15.58)^2 + (3.8  - 15.58)^2  + (11.6  - 15.58)^2  }{5 }  }

standard deviation = 9.62297

Degrees of freedom df = n-1

Degrees of freedom df = 5 - 1

Degrees of freedom df = 4

For df  at 4 and 80% confidence level, the critical value t from t table  = 1.533

The Margin of Error M.O.E = t \times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The Margin of Error M.O.E = 1.533 \times \dfrac{9.62297}{\sqrt{5}}

The Margin of Error M.O.E = 1.533 \times 4.3035

The Margin of Error M.O.E = 6.60

The  Confidence interval = ( \mu  \pm M.O.E )

The  Confidence interval = ( \mu  +  M.O.E , \mu - M.O.E )

The  Confidence interval = ( 15.58 - 6.60 , 15.58 + 6.60)

The  Confidence interval = (8.98 , 22.18)

Write sin(19°) in terms of cosine.
Leto [7]

Answer:

cos(71)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 19° is less than 90, we can express this in terms of confunction.

sin(θ) = cos(90-θ)

sin(19) = cos(90-19)

sin(19) = cos(71)
