Answer:

3.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

1:4 = x:14 ; where x is the unknown length of A
1/4 = x/14 (Cross multiply)
Giving us, 4×x = 14×1
4x = 14 (Divide both sides by co-efficient of x, which is 4)
x = 14/4
x = 3.5
Therefore, the length of A is 3.5 meters.

Answer:

p = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

27p + 6.25 = 87.25

- 6.25 -6.25 = 27p + 0 = 81 = 27p = 81

81/27 = 3

p = 3

Simplify completely quantity 4 x squared minus 32 x plus 48 all over quantity 3 x squared minus 17 x minus 6. (1 point)

Galina-37 [17]

Given rational expression is:

$\frac{(4x^2-32x+48)}{(3x^2-17x-6)}$

Now we can simplify this by factoring as shown below:

$=\frac{4(x^2-8x+12)}{(3x^2-17x-6)}$

$=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{(3x^2-18x+1x-6)}$

$=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{3x\left(x-6\right)+1\left(x-6\right)}$

$=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{(3x+1)\left(x-6\right)}$

$=\frac{4(x-2)}{(3x+1)}$

Hence final answer is $\frac{4(x-2)}{(3x+1)}$

An analyst from an energy research institute in California wishes to precisely estimate a 99% confidence interval of the average

Lena [83]

Answer:

190

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Confidence level = 99%

Therefore,

α = 1% = 0.01

[ from standard normal table ]

z-value for $z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}= z_{\frac{0.01}{2}}=$ = 2.58

Margin of error, E = $0.06

Standard deviation, σ = $0.32

Now,

n = $(\frac{z_{0.005}\sigma}{E})^2$

Here,

n is the sample size (or the minimum number of gas stations )

on substituting the respective values, we get

= $(\frac{z_{0.005}\sigma}{E})^2$

= $(\frac{2.58\times0.32}{0.06})^2$

= 13.76²

= 189.3376 ≈ 190

Hence,

minimum number of gas stations that she should include in her sample is 190
