No, because in most of the numbers the number in the tenths place is over 5 so you round up instead of keeping it the same.

Answer:

Larry did not round correctly. He used front-end estimation, but he did not round up when appropriate. His estimate will be lower than the amount of money he needs.

Step-by-step explanation:

now this is the correct answer

Based on the figure, which pair of triangles is congruent by the Side Angle Side Postulate?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: Triangle ABC and Triangle ECD


Step-by-step explanation:

In Triangle ABC and Triangle ECD

BD=CD and AD=ED [given in the figure]

∠BDA=∠EDC  [Vertically opposite angles are equal]

⇒ΔABC ≅ ΔECD [By SAS postulate]

SAS postulate or Side Angle Side postulate tells that if two sides and their included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Beverley has quarters and dimes in her pocket. She has 21 coins with a total value of $3.00. How many of each type of coin does
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If all 21 coins were dimes, she'd have $2.10. But she has 90 more cents than that. Now for each coin that's a quarter, not a dime, she has 15 cents more. 90/15= 6. So there are 6 quarters, and 21-6 = 15 dimes.

Now we do it backwards to see if it's right. 6 quarters is $1.50, 15 dimes is $1.50, add those together and you get $3. So it's right. 6 quarters, 15 dimes.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1) The mean calculated for this case is \bar X=61.5

2)  61.5-5.4=56.1

3) 61.5+5.4=66.9

4) B. An interval estimate gives us a sense of the accuracy of the point estimate whereas a point estimate alone does not.

Because with the confidence interval we know the confidence level of the interval, and the limits for the parameter at some significance level.  

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".

Part 1

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (a)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}} (b)  

The mean calculated for this case is \bar X=61.5

The sample deviation calculated s=5.143

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

n=6 represent the sample size  

Part 2

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm ME   (1)

So if we have the margin of error 5.4mm we can find the lowr limit like this:

61.5-5.4=56.1

Part 3

61.5+5.4=66.9

Part 4

B. An interval estimate gives us a sense of the accuracy of the point estimate whereas a point estimate alone does not.

Because with the confidence interval we know the confidence level of the interval, and the limits for the parameter at some significance level.
