Assume (a,b) has a minimum element m.
m is in the interval so a < m < b.
a < m
Adding a to both sides,
2a < a + m
Adding m to both sides of the first inequality,
a + m < 2m
So
2a < a+m < 2m
a < (a+m)/2 < m < b
Since the average (a+m)/2 is in the range (a,b) and less than m, that contradicts our assumption that m is the minimum. So we conclude there is no minimum since given any purported minimum we can always compute something smaller in the range.
0.5 x 1/10 = 0.05 All you do is multiply
Answer:
The margin of error for this estimate is of 14.79 yards per game.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
T interval
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 20 - 1 = 19
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 19 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of
. So we have T = 2.093
The margin of error is:

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
You randomly select 20 games and see that the average yards per game is 273.7 with a standard deviation of 31.64 yards.
This means that 
What is the margin of error for this estimate?



The margin of error for this estimate is of 14.79 yards per game.
Answer:
12 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as
A =
h(b₁ + b₂ )
where h is the height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases
Given h = 6, b₁ = 8 and A = 60 , then
× 6 × (8 + b₂ ) = 60 , that is
3(8 + b₂ ) = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )
8 + b₂ = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
b₂ = 12
The length of the second base is 12 inches
Answer:
B. $715
Step-by-step explanation:
By multiplying your starting value, in this case $550, and your (simple) interest, 6%, or by 1.06 as 0.06 being your interest value and the 1.00 accommodating your starting value you will multiply, $550 × 1.06 = $583. Repeat these steps for however many years you are account for, in this case, five years. Giving you a total of $715
