You measure 47 backpacks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 79 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 13

.1 ounces. Based on this, what is the maximal margin of error associated with a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean backpack weight.

Answer:

3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean weight (m) = 79 ounces

Population standard deviation (s) = 13.1

Sample size = 47

Maximal margin of error associated with 90% confidence interval.

The margin of error is given by:

Zcritical * (standard deviation / sqrt(sample size)

Z critical at 90% confidence interval = 1.645

Hence,

Zcritical * (standard deviation / sqrt(sample size)

1.645 * 13.1 / sqrt(47)

1.645 * (13.1 / 6.8556546)

1.645 * 1.9108313

Hence, the margin of error is :

3.1433174885

= 3.14

WILL MARK! <br> For parallelogram ABCD, find x.
amid [387]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

If the figure is a parallelogram, the opposite sides are the same length

3x+20 = 5x-12

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+20 -3x = 5x-12-3x

20 = 2x-12

Add 12 to each side

20+12 = 2x-12+12

32 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

32/2 = 2x/2

16 =x

The distance between Johannesburg and Cape town is 1682km. If it took the bus 19:28 min to arrive at its destination calculate t
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

the average velocity is  86 km/h for the trip

Step-by-step explanation:

from the definition of average velocity

average velocity = distance covered / time required = 1682 km /(19 h + 28 min/60 min/h) = 86 km/h

therefore the average velocity is  86 km/h for the trip

At most, Alana can spend $40 on carnival tickets. Ride tickets cost $4 each, and food tickets cost $2 each. Alana buys at least
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

4 is the maximum number of ride tickets she can buy

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, r represents the number of ride tickets and f represents number of food tickets.

The system of inequalities is given as:

r+f\geq 16                         ....[1]

4r+2f\leq 40                    .....[2]

To solve Mathematically:

Multiply equation [1] by -2 we have;

-2r-2f \leq -32               .....[3]

Add equation [2] and [3] we have;

2r \leq 8

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

r \leq 4

Since r must be less than or equal to 4.

You can also see the graph of the given system of inequalities as shown below.

The intersection point is, (4, 12)

Therefore, the maximum number of ride tickets she can buy is, 4

Differentiate x^2 e^x logx
zimovet [89]

Product rule:

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}(x^2e^x\log x)

=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}e^x\log x+x^2\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^x)}{\mathrm dx}\log x+x^2e^x\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log x)}{\mathrm dx}

Power rule:

\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}=2x

The exponential function is its own derivative:

\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^x)}{\mathrm dx}=e^x

Assuming the base of \log x is e, its derivative is

\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log x)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x

But if you mean a logarithm of arbitrary base b, we have

y=\log_bx\implies x=b^y=e^{y\ln b}\implies1=e^{y\ln b}\ln b\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}

\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{e^{-y\ln b}}{\ln b}=\dfrac1{b^y\ln b}

\implies\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log_bx)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1{x\ln b}

So we end up with

2xe^x\log x+x^2e^x\log x+\dfrac{x^2e^x}x

=xe^x(2\log x+x\log x+1)
