Answer:

-11/24 and -4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a fraction in the form a/b where both a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero.

Given the numbers -1/3 and -1/2, to place two numbers between them, we have to first find the width between the two numbers.

Width = -1/3 - (-1/2) = -1/3 + 1/2 = 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6

Since two numbers are to be placed between -1/3 and -1/2, we have to divide the width into 3 which results to 1/6 ÷ 3 = 1/18

The first number placed is -1/3 - 1/18 = -11/24

The second number is -11/24 - 1/18 = -4/9

The mean waiting time at the drive-through of a fast-food restaurant from the time the food is ordered to when it is received is

alexira [117]

Answer:

a) And if we replace we got: $\bar X= 78$

$s = 15.391$

b) $78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=62.182$

$78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=93.818$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (62.182;93.818)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dataset given: 109 67 58 76 65 80 96 86 71 72

Part a

For this case we can calculate the sample mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And if we replace we got: $\bar X= 78$

And the deviation is given by:

$s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And if we replace we got $s = 15.391$

Part b

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,9)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=3.25$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=62.182$

$78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=93.818$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (62.182;93.818)

A pizza stand offer both hand- tossed and pan pizza. customer can add any combination of the six available topping.

photoshop1234 [79]

The correct choice would be 128.

If there are 6 options and the person can pick any number of toppings, we need to know the number of subsets that can be formed with 6. That would be 2^6 or 64.

Since there is a pan or hand-tossed option, we need to multiply 64 by 2 to find the total.
64 x 2 = 128

Steve's scores on 6 of his tests were 92, 78, 86, 92, 95, and 91. If he took a seventh test and raised the mean of his scores by

monitta

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know the mean of the Steve's scores on 6 of his tests. Given the six scores as 92, 78, 86, 92, 95, and 91.

Mean = sum of the scores/Total test taken

Mean = 92+78+86+92+95+ 91/6

Mean = 534/6

Mean = 89

If he took the seventh test and the mean score is raised by 1 them the new mean will be expressed as;

New mean = 92+78+86+92+95+ 91+x/7 = 89+1

Where x is the new score. Note that of a new score is added, the total year taken will also change to 7

To get x;

92+78+86+92+95+ 91+x/7 = 89+1

92+78+86+92+95+ 91+x/7 = 90

534+x/7 = 90

Cross multiply

533+x = 90×7

533+x = 630

x = 630-534

x = 96

Hence the score of the seventh test is 96

Help me please as soon as possible

SIZIF [17.4K]

If each case weighs 24 pounds, then 1p=24 pounds. so if we're trying to find a function of weight, p=24c.

Example: When you have 2 cases, you plug in a 2 for c

p=24c
p=24(2)
p=48

So if you have two cases, it will total 48 pounds,

So that is why the equation is p=24c. Hope this helps!
