Answer:

±12.323

Step-by-step explanation:

A study by the department of education of a certain state was trying to determine the mean SAT scores of the graduating high school seniors. The study examined the scores of a random sample of 238 graduating seniors and found the mean score to be 493 with a standard deviation of 97. Calculate the margin of error using the given formula. How could the results of the survey be made more accurate?

The formula for margin of Error =

±z × Standard deviation/√n

We are not given the confidence interval but let us assume the confidence interval = 95%

Hence:

z score for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

Standard deviation = 97

n = random number of samples = 238

Margin of Error = ± 1.96 × 97/√238

Margin of Error = ±12.323

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

R = 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem

x² + 12² = (x + 8)²

x² + 144 = x² + 16x + 64

       16x = 80

          x = 5

Katelyn plans to apply for a $10,000 loan at an interest rate of 5.6% for 5 years. Use the monthly payment formula to complete t
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Katelyn's monthly payment for the loan is $ 2,032.52

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given is explicit,we can solve for monthly payment using the below formula

P=L(1-r/r-r^n+1)

r=1/(1+i)

i=5.6%/12=0.47%

5.6% is an annual interest rate,it would be appropriate to restate in monthly terms

r=1/(1+0.47%)=0.995

n=5 years*12 months=60

L is the loan amount of $100,000

P=100000*(1-0.995)/(0.995-0.995^60+1)

=100000*(1-0.995)/(0.995-0.74)

=100000*0.005/0.246

=$ 2,032.52

ella [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

V=4/3πr^3

288πcm^3=4/3×π×r^3

288π×3cm^3=4πr^3

864π=4πr^3

r^3=216

r=6cm

A faucet is used to add water to a large bottle that already contained some water. After it has been filling for 55 ​seconds, th
True [87]

Answer:

y=3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the amount of water in the bottle x seconds after the faucet was turned on.

We have been given that the gauge on the bottle indicates that it contains 19 ounces of water after it has been filling for 5 seconds. After it has been filling for 11 ​seconds, the gauge indicates the bottle contains 37 ounces of water.

We have two points on the line (5,19) and (11,37).

Let us find slope of the line passing through these points.

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{37-19}{11-5}

m=\frac{18}{6}

m=3

We will write our required equation in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, where, m represents slope and b represents the y-intercept.

Let us find y-intercept by substituting m=3 and coordinates of point (5,19) in slope intercept form.

19=3\cdot 5+b

19=15+b

19-15=15-15+b

4=b

Therefore, our required equation would be y=3x+4.
