Dan earns $42.75 per month working as a tutor. He worked as a tutor for 4 months. He also earned $52.45 walking dogs in the neig

hborhood. He spent $18.50 of his total earning to buy a movie ticket and candy. Dan put 1 over 3 of the remaining money in his savings account.
Dan used the following steps to find the total money he put in his savings account:

Step 1: [($42.75 ⋅ 4) + $52.45 − $18.50] ⋅ 1 over 3

Step 2: [$171 + $52.45 − $18.50] ⋅ 1 over 3

Step 3: 241.95 ⋅ 1 over 3

Step 4: $80.65

In which step did Dan first make an error? Use words to explain how Dan can correct his error.

Answer:

He subtracted incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 42.75 x 4 and get 171. Then you add 171+52.45=223.45 and then you subtract 223.45-18=205.45 and then you multiply 223.45 x .3333 = 68.3265 or 68.33 (rounded)

liq [111]
To answer this, I have to multiply 92/3 inches by 5.

92/3 ×5=460/3

Now to change to improper fraction to a mixed number or whole number.

460/3=153 1/3

The shoes lined up are all together is 153 1/3 inches long.

A student was asked to find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of students who take notes using data from a random sam
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

After use the formula we got the following result for the 90% confidence interval (0.13 <p<0.34)

And the conclusion for this case would be:

e. With 90% confidence, the proportion of all students who take notes is between 0.13 and 0.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Description in words of the parameter p

p represent the real population proportion of students who take notes

\hat p represent the estimated proportion of students who take notes

n is the sample size required  

z_{\alpha/2} represent the critical value for the margin of error  

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Numerical estimate for p

In order to estimate a proportion we use this formula:

\hat p =\frac{X}{n} where X represent the number of people with a characteristic and n the total sample size selected.

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}  

For the 90% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2=0.05, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.64  

After use the formula we got the following result for the 90% confidence interval (0.13 <p<0.34)

And the conclusion for this case would be:

e. With 90% confidence, the proportion of all students who take notes is between 0.13 and 0.34.

To function properly, a water outflow pipe must drop 1 inch for every 22 inches of horizontal distance.
Hitman42 [59]
<span>a. Calculate the slope for this drain pipe.
1/22
b. A rainwater pipe 30 feet long must run under the edge of a roof. What is the minimum vertical distance the pipe must drop between its ends?

Turn 30 feet to inches so 30 * 12  = 360 inches
Now times 1/22 x 360 = 16.32 inches . If they want it in feet just change 16.32 to feet by dividing 16.32 / 12

c. A design calls for a drainage pipe to cross a building 45 feet wide as it drops 25 inches. Is this pip steep enough to function properly? Explain.
Change 45 feet to inches so 45 * 12 = 540

Now times 540 * 1/22 = 24.54 inches so 25 inches would be steep enough since it droops 25 inches. </span>

28.50x2= 57

57-41.75= 15.25

Rasheed needs $15.25 more to be able to buy 2 video games.
