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

Consider that x=5 and y=7. Is the sum of x + y rational, irrational, or neither irrational nor rational!

There is `1/12 foot in one inch. Does the graph show the<br> relationship between feet and inches?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is ¹/12 foot in 1 inch, this can be interpreted as being the constant of proportionality for the relationship between feet and inches. This means, for the graph to be said to represent this relationship, the constant of proportionality, which is y/x must be ¹/12.

How do we know this? Check this out using the four points given on the graph.

(12, 1) => y/x = ¹/12

(24, 2) => y/x = ²/24 = ¹/12

(36, 3) => y/x = ³/36 = ¹/12

(48, 4) => y/x = ⁴/48 = ¹/12

As we can see, the graph represents the shows a relationship between feet and inches.
