A company sells boxes that are 2 3/8 feet high, 3 5/8 feet long, and 1 7/8 feet wide. John has a storage room that is 8 feet wid

e, 10 feet deep, and 12 feet high. You may rotate the boxes so that the width and length are interchanged, but the boxes may not be laid on their sides. a. What is the maximum number of boxes that he may stack on top of one another? b. How much room will there be left between the top of the stack of boxes and the ceiling?

A) (12 ft)/(2 3/8 ft) = 5 1/19

The maximum height of a stack of boxes is 5 boxes.

b) (1/19)*(2 3/8 ft) = 1/8 ft is the room left at the top of the stack.

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

$95 \% \$ the confidence level for z:

$\alpha = 1 - 95 \% \\\\$

$= 1 - 0.95 \\\\ = 0.05$

$\to \frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025\\\\\\to Z \ \frac{\alpha}{2} = Z_{0.025} = 1.96$

Calculating the Margin of error:

$E = Z\ \frac{\alpha}{2} \times ( \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$= 1.96 \times ( \frac{5000}{\sqrt{\sqrt{100}}})\\\\= 980$

The population means estimate a 95 % confidence interval is:

$\to \bar{x} \frac{+}{-} E\\\\ = \$ 90000 \frac{+}{-} 980$

Need help for 16) and 19) Solve each equation and check. Show all work please

Paladinen [302]

Step-by-step explanation:

You said the other one would be the last haha just kidding I'm glad to help.

16. $\frac{k}{2}=(-5)^2$

First, get rid of that parenthesis.

$\frac{k}{2}=25$

Now multiply both sides by 2 so that you can isolate k

$2(\frac{k}{2})=25*2$

$k=50$

19. $\frac{r}{3}=\frac{121}{11}$

This is a pretty easy one. If you didn't know, 121/11 is actually 11 :)

$\frac{r}{3}=11$

Simply multiply by 3 to isolate r :)

$3(\frac{r}{3})=11*3$

$r=33$

Answer: 15x+12

Step-by-step explanation: This expression is already simplified :( You can reverse the coefficients though! Both will still be equal, but you can’t simplify anymore.

Complete Question

Pennsylvania Refining Company is studying the relationship between the pump price of gasoline and the number of gallons sold. For a sample of 14 stations last Tuesday, the correlation was 0.65.At the 0.01 significance level Can the company conclude that the correlation is positive

Answer:

Yes the company conclude that the correlation is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 14

The correlation is r = 0.65

The null hypothesis is $H_o : r < 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_1 : r > 0$

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as

$Sr = \sqrt{1- r}$

$Sr = \sqrt{1- 0.65}$

$Sr = 0.616$

The degree of freedom for the one-tail test is

$df = n- 2$

$df = 14- 2$

$df = 12$

The standard error is evaluated as

$SE = \frac{0.616}{ \sqrt{12} }$

$SE =0.1779$

The test statistics is evaluated as

$t = \frac{r }{SE}$

$t = \frac{0.65 }{0.1779}$

$t = 3.654$

The p-value of of t is obtained from the z table, the value is

$p-value = P(t < 3.654) = 0.00012909$

Given that $p-value < \alpha$ then we reject the null hypothesis

Hence the company can conclude that the correlation is positive
