Fred and Ted are interested in the average height of NC State students. They randomly sample students from NC State and construc

t confidence intervals from their data. Fred sampled 121 students to construct his confidence interval. Ted sampled 144 students to construct his confidence interval; both create histograms for their data which have symmetric, unimodal, and roughly bell-shaped distributions. Which of the following is true about the margins of error for these experiments?
a. Fred's margin of error is larger than Ted's.
b. Ted's margin of error is larger than Fred's.
c. Fred and Ted have the same size margins of error.
d. We are unable to determine which margin of error is larger without knowing more about Fred and Ted's samples.

Answer:

a. Fred's margin of error is larger than Ted's.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error of a confidence interval:

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which z is related to the confidence level(the higher the confidence level the larger the value of z) \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From this, we have that:

A higher confidence level leads to a larger margin of error.

A larger sample size leads to a smaller margin of error.

In this question:

Same confidence level.

Fred's sample is smaller, so his margin of error will be larger.

The correct answer is given by option a.

Find the volume of the prism.<br> 9km 8km 6km
HACTEHA [7]

The correct answer is option B which is the volume of the prism is 216 km³.

<h3>What is the volume of the prism?</h3>

A prism is a three-dimensional solid with a triangular base called a triangular prism. The volume of the triangular prism is equal to the product of the area of the base and the height of the prism.

The volume of the prism will be calculated by using the formula below:-

V  =  Area of the base   x   Height

Since the base is a right-angle triangle so we will calculate the area of the right-angle triangle.

V  =  Area of the triangle  x  Height

V  =  ( 1/2 ) x 8 x 6 x ( 9 )

V  =  216 km²

Therefore the correct answer is option B which is the volume of the prism is 216 km³.

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket , y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by t
Nikolay [14]
<h3>Answer:  Max height = 455.6 feet</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

The general equation

y = ax^2 + bx + c

has the vertex (h,k) such that

h = -b/(2a)

In this case, a = -16 and b = 147. This means,

h = -b/(2a)

h = -147/(2*(-16))

h = 4.59375

The x coordinate of the vertex is x = 4.59375

Plug this into the original equation to find the y coordinate of the vertex.

y = -16x^2+147x+118

y = -16(4.59375)^2+147(4.59375)+118

y = 455.640625

The vertex is located at (h,k) = (4.59375, 455.640625)

The max height of the rocket occurs at the vertex point. Therefore, the max height is y = 455.640625 feet which rounds to y = 455.6 feet
