Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 20 joints, mean (μ) = 8.56 MPa, standard deviation (σ) = 0.78 MPa

Given that the confidence is 95% (0.95).

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

The z score of α/2 is the same as the z score of 0.475 (0.5 - 0.025) which is equal to 1.96

a) for all joints, n = 20

The margin of error (E) is:

E=z_\frac{\alpha}{2} *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=1.96*\frac{0.78}{\sqrt{20} } =0.34

The confidence interval is:

Confidence interval = (μ ± E) = (8.56 ± 0.34) = (8.22, 8.90)

The 95% confidence interval is between 8.22 MPa and 8.90 MPa

b) for a single joint, n = 1

The margin of error (E) is:

E=z_\frac{\alpha}{2} *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=1.96*\frac{0.78}{\sqrt{1} } =1.53

The confidence interval is:

Confidence interval = (μ ± E) = (8.56 ± 1.53) = (7.03, 10.09)

The 95% confidence interval is between 7.03 MPa and 10.09 MPa

Cuidadosamente, Severina, a empregada dos “Silva” arruma uma bela cesta de maçãs. O patriarca ao ver as maçãs toma para si 1/6 d
sveticcg [70]

There was a total of 18 apples

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the total no. of apples be 'a'.

Patriarca took 1/6 of the apples. So the remaining apples is,

   a - (1/6) a= (5/6) a

Step 1:

His wife takes (1/5) of the rest of the apples. So after she takes the apples the remaining apples will be,

   (5/6) a - (1/5) (5/6) a

   (5/6) a - (1/6) a = (4/6) a

Step 2 :

Her elder son takes (1/4) of the remaining apples. So,

   (4/6) a - (1/4) (4/6) a

   (4/6) a - (1/6) a = (3/6) a

Step 3:

Middle son takes (1/3) of the remaining apples. So,

   (3/6) a - (1/3) (3/6) a

   (3/6) a - (1/6) a = (2/6) a

Step 4:

Younger son takes (1/2) of the remaining apples. So,

   (2/6) a - (1/2) (2/6) a

   (2/6) a - (1/6) a = (1/6) a

After work she takes the remaining 3 apples. So the remaining apples were 3

So,

   (1/6) a = 3

       a = 3 x 6

      a = 18 apples

There were a total of 18 apples.

Triangle LMN is similar to triangle PQR, and the hypotenuses of the triangles both lie on line X.
Mice21 [21]
Answer: choice C) -2/3

The line X is completely straight meaning that the slope of line X is the same no matter which two points you pick. Since we're given that line X has a slope of -2/3 through the points (-7,6) and (-4,4), this also applies to the portion from (-1,2) to (5,-2)

Kate purchased a car for $23,000. It will depreciate by a rate of 12% a year. What is the value of the car in 4 years. *
Ivan

Answer:

$13,793

Step-by-step explanation:

Kate purchased a car for $23,000. It will depreciate by a rate of 12% a year. What is the value of the car in 4 years. *

The formula for Depreciation rate =

y = a(1 - r) ^t

Where

y = Value of the car after t years

a = Initial value of the car = $23,000

t= time in years = 4 years

r = Depreciation rate = 12% = 0.12)

y = $23000 (1 - 0.12)⁴

y = $13792.99328

Approximately = $13,793:
