Answer:
3 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
if 1.5 liters is 50% of the original amount, then to find the original amount you must multiply by two, or:
1.5 liters ×2=3 liters
Let's call our estimate x. It will be the average of n IQ scores. Our average won't usually exactly equal the mean 97. But if we repeated averages over different sets of tests, the mean of our estimate the average would be the same as the mean of a single test,
μ = 97
Variances add, so the standard deviations add in quadrature, like the Pythagorean Theorem in n dimensions. This means the standard deviation of the average x is
σ = 17/√n
We want to be 95% certain
97 - 5 ≤ x ≤ 97 + 5
By the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% certain means within two standard deviations. That means we're 95% sure that
μ - 2σ ≤ x ≤ μ + 2σ
Comparing to what we want, that's means we have to solve
2σ = 5
2 (17/√n) = 5
√n = 2 (17/5)
n = (34/5)² = 46.24
We better round up.
Answer: We need a sample size of 47 to be 95% certain of being within 5 points of the mean
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. a circle with r = 2 has area of (pi)r^2 = (pi)(4) = 4pi
step 2. a circle with r = 3 has area of (pi)r^2 = (pi)(9) = 9pi
step 3. the area, A, of a circle is half the sum of the area of the circles with r = 2 and r = 3
step 4. A = (4pi + 9pi)/2 = 13pi/2 = 6.5(pi).
step 5. the answer is not 6.5 but is 6.5(pi) or 6.5 times pi.
