Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Benjamin decides to treat himself to breakfast at his favorite restaurant. He orders chocolate milk that costs $3.25. Then, he wants to buy as many pancakes as he can, but he wants his bill to be at most $30 before tax. The restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 4 pancakes for $5.50 . Let S represent the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys. What is the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford?

Given:

Cost of chocolate milk = $3.25

Maximum bill that Benjamin wants before tax = $30

Cost of stack of 4 pancakes = $5.50

Let S be the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys

Solution:

Cost per stack of pancakes = $5.50  

Cost of S number of stacks of pancakes = S*5.50  = 5.50 S

So benjamin will spend money on 1 chocolate milk and S number of stacks of pancakes

Compute the total money spent by Benjamin:

Cost of chocolate milk + cost per stack of pancakes = 3.25 + 5.50 S

Maximum bill that Benjamin wants is $30 So,

The total money should be less than equal to the maximum bill that benjamin wants i.e. less than or equal to 30. So it is represented as:

3.25 + 5.50S ≤ 30  ----- (1)

Now using (1) we can find the largest number of pancakes that  Benjamin can afford :

3.25 + 5.50S ≤ 30

5.50S ≤ 30 - 3.25    

subtract 3.25 from 30

5.50S ≤ 26.75

Divide by 5.50

S ≤ 4.863636

S ≤ 4.86

S≤ 4 approx

Since the restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 4 pancakes so,

4 stacks = 4 *4 =  16

So the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford are 16.

If we do not round off the the value stacks then we get:

4.86 stacks = 4.86 *4 =  19.44 pancakes

So the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford are 19

10. In a survey of 212 people at the local track and field championship, 72% favored the home team
igomit [66]

Answer:

a. The margin of error for the survey is of 0.0308 = 3.08%.

b. The 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning is (65.96%, 78.04%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error of the survey is:

M = \sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The confidence interval can be written as:

\pi \pm zM

In a survey of 212 people at the local track and field championship, 72% favored the home team winning.

This means that n = 212, \pi = 0.72

a. Find the margin of error for the survey.

M = \sqrt{\frac{0.72*0.28}{212}} = 0.0308

The margin of error for the survey is of 0.0308 = 3.08%.

b. Give the 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning.

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Lower bound:

\pi - zM = 0.72 - 1.96*0.0308 = 0.6596

Upper bound:

\pi + zM = 0.72 + 1.96*0.0308 = 0.7804

As percent:

0.6596*100% = 65.96%

0.7804*100% = 78.04%.

The 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning is (65.96%, 78.04%).

The way it is written, none of them.

\dfrac{am}{an} =\dfrac{m}{n}

The "a"s cancel out.

What is the circumference of a circle with weight of 3 1/8 inches?
MrRissso [65]
A circle can’t weigh any inches just gonna say that now. Assuming you meant “height” of 3.125 inches, then the circumference is C=2(pi)r, where r is 1/2 the height (radius is half of the diameter, this situation the diameter being 3.125 inches.

Circumference would be approximately 9.8174770424681 inches—
Or shortened to 2 decimals it’s approximately
9.82 inches
Or approximately
9.8 inches
Or approximately
10 inches
