The manufacturer of official NFL footballs uses a machine to inflate its new balls to a pressure of 13.5 pounds. When the machin

e is properly calibrated , the mean inflation pressure is 13.5 pounds, but uncontrollable factors cause the pressures of individual footballs to vary randomly from 13.3 to 13.7 pounds. For quality control purposes, the manufacturer wishes to estimate the mean inflation pressure to within 0.025 pound of its true value with a 99% confidence interval. What sample size should be used

Answer:

106

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (m) = 13.5 pounds

Error margin = 0.025

α = 99%

Variation interval = range = 13.3 to 13.7

Standard deviation (σ) estimate from range :

Range / 4

(13.7 - 13.3) /4

= 0.4 / 4

= 0.1

Zcritical at 99% = 2.576

Using the formula :

Sample size (n) = [ (Zcritical * σ) / M. E]^2

n = [(2.576 * 0.1) / 0.025]^2

n = (0.2576 / 0.025)

n = 10.304^2

n = 106.172

n = 107 samples

The measures of 6 of the interior angles of a heptagon are: 120°, 150°, 135°, 170°, 90°, and 125°. What is the measure of the la
Lilit [14]
1. consider one angle of a (convex) heptagon. From that angle you can construct 7-3=4 diagonals. (-3 because we cannot create diagonals with the adjacent vertices and the angle itself )

2. 4 diagonals create 5 triangular regions. (check the picture)

3. So the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the heptagon is 180°*5=900°.

4. The measure of the remaining 7th interior angle is 900°-(120+150+135+170+90+125)°=110°.

5. The largest exterior angle is when the interior angle is the smallest.

6. The smallest interior angle is 90°, so the largest exterior angle is 180°-90°=90°


Answer: 90°

If the diameter of a circle is half of a yard, then its radius is how many inches?
Ber [7]
First of all we need to realize that half of a yard is as much as 18 inches. If a diameter of the circle is 18 inches, then its radius is 18 ÷ 2 = 9 inches.
