Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 18.

5 times the first number subtracted from 4/7 of the second number is 14.

First number --> x

Second number --> y

so

x + y = 18 --> x = 18-y

5x - (4/7)y = 14

so

5 (18-y) - (4/7)y = 14

90 - 5y - 4/7 y = 14

-5.57 y = 14-90

y = 13.64

so

x = 18 - 13.64

x = 4.36

A research group needs to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for all car insurance small claims. From
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) z = 1.645

b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.

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 Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645, which means that the answer of question a is 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.

(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?

They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when

M = 12, \sigma = 124.88. So

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

12 = 1.645*\frac{124.88}{\sqrt{n}}

12\sqrt{n} = 205.43

\sqrt{n} = \frac{205.43}{12}

\sqrt{n} = 17.12

\sqrt{n}^{2} = (17.12)^{2}

n = 293

The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Find the missing length of the right triangle.<br> a<br> 21<br> 35
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem and solve for a:

a² + b² = c²

a² + 21² = 35²

a² + 441 = 1225

a² = 784

a = 28

So, the missing length is 28.
