Answer:

a)

i.  x=- - - - - -

ii.  o=- - - - - -

iii.  Sx=- - - - -

b) The random variable X signifies the weights of the bags of candies which are selected at random.  

c) The statistics variable X  is a measure on a sample that is used as an estimate of the population mean.X  is the mean weight of the 16 bags of candies that were selected.

d) The distribution needed for this problem is normal distribution with parameters  because the population standard deviation is known.

N(X, o/\sqrt{n})

So, the distribution is  

N(2, 0.12/\sqrt{16})

e)

i. The 90% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the candies is  1.9589 , 2.0411

iii. The error bound is 0.0411

f)

i. The 98% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the candies is  1.9418 , 2.0582

iii. The error bound is 0.0582

g) The difference in the confidence intervals in part (f) and part (e) is of the level of confidence. The change is, the change in the area being calculated for the normal distribution. Therefore, the larger confidence level results in larger area and larger interval.

Hence the interval in part  is larger than the one in part (e).

h) The interval in part (f) signifies that with 98% confidence that the population mean weight of the bag of candies lies between 1.942 ounce and 2.058 ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

i.  x=- - - - - -

ii.  o=- - - - - -

iii.  Sx=- - - - -

b) The random variable X signifies the weights of the bags of candies which are selected at random.  

c) The statistics variable X  is a measure on a sample that is used as an estimate of the population mean.X  is the mean weight of the 16 bags of candies that were selected.

iii. The error bound is 0.0411

f)

i. The 98% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the candies is  1.9418 , 2.0582

iii. The error bound is 0.0582

Hence the interval in part  is larger than the one in part (e).

Julia pays a flat rate of $106 for her cell phone and is charged $0.12 for every text she sends. Julia spends at least $142 on h
Dominik [7]

Answer:

a. A minimum of 300

Step-by-step explanation:

If her bill  is $142 then it is a sum of the flat rate plus the money she pays for all the smses she sent. As an equation, it can be expressed this way

106 + 0.12x = 142  where x  is the number of smses

0.12x = 36

x = 300 smses

So if we were told that she pays $142 per month, we'd know that she sends 300 smses. But we are told she pays AT LEAST $142 so there is a possibility that she sends even more than 300 smses

What is the degree of the following polynomial f(x)=(x+4)^3(x+1)(x-5)^3
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

x^7

Step-by-step explanation:

look for the highest degree of any term and you will end up multiplying

x^3( from first paranthesis)  *x( from second parenthesis) *x^3 ( from third paranthesis) so the highest degree will be x^ 3+1+3 = x^7

David and his dad were going camping. When they went into the garage to get their tent they noticed it was ripped. David’s dad s
Arlecino [84]

A) How much material does he need to cover the one rectangular side of the tent with the rip? Justify your answer using equations/formulas, models, and/or words to explain your mathematical reasoning.  

Answer: If David’s dad wanted to cover the rectangular side of the tent, he would need to multiply the sides together. Using the formula A = l x w, I can solve for 6 and 9. 9 x 6 = 54, so 54 = 6 x 9.  

B) If David’s dad wanted to re-cover the whole tent including the bottom, how much material would he need?  Justify your answer using equations/formulas, models, and/or words to explain your mathematical reasoning.

Answer: If he wanted to re-cover the whole tent, he would need the product of the rectangular side, the triangular side, and the bottom side. Using A = l x w, I can solve for each side of the tent, For the rectangular side you multiply six by nine, then multiply two by the product. 6 x 9 = 54 x 2 = 108. For the triangular side, I need to multiply six times seven, 6 x 7 = 42. For the bottom, I need to multiply seven times nine, 7 x 9 = 63. Finally, I need to add them all up. 108 + 42 + 63 = 213 ft².                    

 

C) What is the volume of the tent?  Justify your answer using equations/formulas, models, and/or words to explain your mathematical reasoning. (You need to find the area of one of the triangular bases, and then you can take that measurement and multiply it with the height of the entire prism.) V=Bh, where B = area of one of the triangular bases

Answer: I need to find the volume of the tent, so I need to find the formula which is V = B x h. The base is 63, because I needed to find the area of one of the triangular bases, so I multiplied 7 x 9 = 63. The height is 6, so I need to multiply 63 x 6. When I multiply 63 x 6, I get the product of 378, so the volume of the tent is 378 ft³.
