Aaron tracks the time it takes him to mow lawns by writing coordinate points relating x, the time in hours it takes to mow a law

NARA [144]

Answer:

Slope of this line is given by:

Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that time is tracked by Aaron related to x coordinate.

and the area of land mowed in acres is related to y coordinate.

Two of his points are given as:

(3, 1.5) and (5,2.5)

We know that the coordinates are represented in the form of (x,y)

i.e. first coordinate represents x coordinate and

second coordinate represents y coordinate.

So, it can be observed that:

$x_1=3, y_1=1.5\\x_2=5, y_2=2.5$

Change in x coordinate = $x_2-x_1=5-3 = 2$

i.e. total time taken is 2 hours.

Change in y coordinate = $y_2-y_1=2.5-1.5 = 1$

i.e. total land mowed taken is 1 acre.

In other words, it takes 2 hours for Aaron to mow 1 acre of land.

So, "option 1) It takes Aaron about 1 hour to mow 2 acres." is incorrect.

Rate of mowing lawn is the land mowed by Aaron in 1 hour.

Land mowed in 2 hours = 1 acre

Land mowed in 1 hours = $\frac{1}{2}$ acre i.e. 0.5 acre

Also, slope of a line is given as:

$m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here $y_2 - y_1 = 1$

$x_2 - x_1 = 2$

As per formula:

$m = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5$

So, option 2) Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour.

Mai poured `2.6` liters of water into a partially-filled pitcher. The pitcher now contains `10.4` liters. Mai wants to know how

prisoha [69]

Answer: 7.8

Step-by-step explanation: If we want to find the amount that was in the pitcher before then we subtract 2.6 from 10.4 to find the original amount because if the pitcher were to contain an amount that only adds up to 10.4 before we add 2.6 then the number that adds with 2.6 to equal 10.4 is our answer

hence our answer 7.8

The Wisconsin Dairy Association is interested in estimating the mean weekly consumption of milk for adults over the age of 18 in

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$ME = 1.653 *\frac{7.9}{\sqrt{300}}= \pm 0.75$

±0.75 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: The Wisconsin Dairy Association is interested in estimating the mean weekly consumption of milk for adults over the age of 18 in that state. To do this, they have selected a random sample of 300 people from the designated population. The following results were recorded: xbar=34.5 ounces, s=7.9 ounces Given this information, if the leaders wish to estimate the mean milk consumption with 90 percent confidence, what is the approximate margin of error in the estimate?

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=34.5$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=7.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=300 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

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:

$df=n-1=300-1=299$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,199)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.653$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = 1.653 *\frac{7.9}{\sqrt{300}}= \pm 0.75$

±0.75 ounce
