Answer:

  • 3 packages of American (7/8 lb)
  • 2 packages of cheddar (1/2 lb)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of cheese Mrs Mack needs is an odd number of eighths of a pound. So, she must buy an odd number of the 7/8 pound packages.

If she were to buy any 1/5 pound packages, she would have to buy a multiple of 5 of them so as to have an integral number of eighths. The only suitable multiple is 0.

If Mrs Mack buys 1 of the 7/8 pound packages, she cannot make up the difference with half-pound packages. She must buy 3 of the 7/8 pound packages, for a total of 2 5/8 pounds of American cheese. The remaining pound can be bought as 2 of the 1/2 pound packages.

To buy 3 5/8 pounds, Mrs Mack must purchase ...

  3 packages of American cheese (7/8 lb each)

  2 packages of Cheddar cheese (1/2 lb each)

What is the formula for a confidence interval?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

a) The formula is given by mean \pm the margin of error. Where the margin of error is the product between the critical value from the normal standard distribution at the confidence level selected and the standard deviation for the sample mean.

b) \bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

If the distribution for X is normal or if the sample size is large enough we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Part a

The formula is given by mean \pm the margin of error. Where the margin of error is the product between the critical value from the normal standard distribution at the confidence level selected and the standard deviation for the sample mean.

Part b

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

What is the percentage increase of a room that is the size of 96 square feet to a room that is 108 square feet?
katrin [286]

Answer:

12.5% increase OR 112.5% Percentage of Change

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem consider that our original maximum value is 96 square feet, but our new maximum value is 108 square feet. So to find the change as a percentage (in this case the increase) use the following formula:

Percentage of Change = ( New Maximum / Old Maximum ) * 100

So, let's use this formula to find the percentage change of the room.

Percentage of Change = ( 108 / 96 ) * 100

Percentage of Change = (1.125) * 100

Percentage of Change = 112.5

So the percentage of Change is 112.5%. Note, the old maximum is the point of comparison which is 100%.

So to find the increase, we will do 112.5% - 100% to get 12.5%. Hence, we have a 12.5% increase of a 108 square foot room compared to a room of 96 square feet.

Cheers.
