Answer:

Length = 18 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular pool = l meters

And breadth of the pool = w meters

Perimeter of the rectangular pool = 2(l + 2w)

Since, perimeter of the rectangular pool is 72 meters.

2(l + 2w) = 72

l + 2w = 36 --------(1)

If length of the pool is twice of its breadth,

l = 2w

w = $\frac{l}{2}$ -------(2)

By substituting the value of 'w' from equation (2) to equation (1),

$l+2\times{\frac{l}{2}}=36$

2l = 36

l = 18 meters

Divide 800ml into ratio 3:7

Black_prince [1.1K]

Simply take the numerator (3) and denominator (7) and add them together.

3+7 = 10, which means that the ratio will provide parts that are in multiples of 10 depending on the total

so take 10x = 800

x = 80.

Then multiply this by the numerator and denominator

3*80/7*80 = 240/560.

A news report states that the 99% confidence interval for the mean number of daily calories consumed by participants in a medica

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The sample mean is of 1925 calories.

The margin of error is of 75 calories.

The sample standard deviation is of 109.7992 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample mean:

The sample mean is the mean value of the two bounds of the confidence interval. So

$M = \frac{1850 + 2000}{2} = 1925$

The sample mean is of 1925 calories.

The margin of error

Difference between the bounds and the sample mean. So

2000 - 1925 = 1925 - 1850 = 75 calories.

The margin of error is of 75 calories.

Sample standard deviation:

Here, I am going to expand on the t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995$ . So we have T = 2.898
