Answer:

he height of a triangle is 8m less than the base. The area is 10cm^2. Find the height and the base.

I have tried the equation 10=b(b-8)(1/2).

b(b-8) = 20

b^2 - 8b - 20 = 0

Factor:

b^2-10b + 2b-20 = 0

A toy company makes rectangular sandboxes that measure 6 feet by 5 feet by 1.2 feet. A customer buys a sandbox and 40 cubic feet

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Customer has bought too much sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions (Length, Width and Height) of rectangular box are = 6,5, 1.2.

Volume of a rectangular box = Length * Width * Height

=> 6*5*1.2

=> 36 cubic feet

As mentioned, customer bought a sand box and <u>40 cubic feet of sand.</u>

So,

Volume of rectangular box (R) = 36 cubic feet

Volume of Sand (S) = 40 cubic feet

From analysis

S > R

Which shows that the capacity of sandbox is 36 cubic feet and volume is 40 feet that is a little greater than desired capacity.

Therefore, customer has bought too much sand.

In 16% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent, the father is the stay-at-home parent (Pew Research, June 5, 2014). An independe

Answer:

$n = (\frac{z\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{0.03})^2$ , in which z is related to the confidence level.

b) A sample size of 991 is needed.

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 zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

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

In 16% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent, the father is the stay-at-home parent

This means that $\pi = 0.16$

a. What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03 (round up to the next whole number).

This is n for which $M = 0.03$ . So
