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

I made some brownies and cookies to sell for a local fundraiser. The cookies sold for $0.75 each and the brownies sold for $1.25
juin [17]

Answer:

Brownies made the most money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = cookies

b = brownies

We sold 51 items  so c+b = 51

Cookies are .75  and brownies are 1.25

.75c + 1.25 b = 53.25

We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns

c = 51-b

Substituting into the second equation

.75(51-b) + 1.25b = 53.25

Distribute

38.25-.75b +1.25b = 53.25

Combine like terms

38.25+.5b = 53.25

Subtract 38.25 from each side

38.25 +.5b -38.25 = 53.25 -38.25

.5b =15

Divide each side by .5

.5b/.5 = 15/.5

b = 30

Now find c

c =51-b

c = 51-30

c = 21

They sold 30 brownies and 21 cookies

30 brownies * 1.25 =37.50

21 cookies *.75 = 15.75

Brownies made the most money

(64x^8– 4x^3 + 24) : (8x^3)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

(16 x^8 - x^3 + 6)/(2 x^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(64 x^8 - 4 x^3 + 24)/(8 x^3)

Factor 4 out of 64 x^8 - 4 x^3 + 24:

(4 (16 x^8 - x^3 + 6))/(8 x^3)

4/8 = 4/(4×2) = 1/2:

Answer: (16 x^8 - x^3 + 6)/(2 x^3)

If 20 ounces is $7, and ,$17 = x, what is x
jasenka [17]
You can solve this by cross multiplying. 20 ounces/$7=x ounces/$17. multiple $17 by 20 ounces and $7 by x ounces. (17x20=7x). 17x20=340, so 340=7x. Divide both sides by 7, and you will get x equals about 48.6.
