ample 300 packages. A pilot sample taken last year showed that the standard deviation in weight was about 0.15 pound. If they are interested in an estimate that has 95 percent confidence, what margin of error can they expect?A. Approximately 0.017 pounds B. About 0.0003 pounds C. About 1.96 D.

Answer: A. Approximately 0.017 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the margin of error :

E=z^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} , where z* = critical value for confidence interval , s= standard deviation , n= sample size.

As per given , we have

s= 0.15 pound

n= 300

Critical value for 95% confidence = 1.96

Then, Margin of error for 9%% confidence interval will be :

E=(1.96)\dfrac{0.15}{\sqrt{300}}\\\\=0.0169740979142\approx0.017

Hence, they can expect a margin error of 0.017 pound (approximately.)

Thus , the correct answer is A. Approximately 0.017 pounds

What is the sum of three tenths plus thirty nine hundredths equals blank a thirty six hundredths b forty two hundredths c sixty
ad-work [718]

Answer:c- sixty nine hundredths

Step-by-step explanation:

three tenths can be expressed in decimal as 3/10

thirty nine hundredths can be expressed in decimal as 39/100

Therefore the sum of three tenths plus thirty nine hundredths equals

3/10 +39/100

We first find the l.c.m of the two fractions equals 100 so we have 100 as the denominator

then 100 divided by 10  multiplied by 3 +100 divided by 100 multiplied by 39 as illustrated below gives the answer

3/10 +39/100

=30+39/100

=69/100= sixty nine hundredths

The club with an occupancy of 100 will sell out at $25 per ticket. If the owner decides to increase the price by $5, then 2 less
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

100 + (5X) = -2X

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the club with an occupancy of 100 will sell out at $ 25 per ticket, and if the owner decides to increase the price by $ 5, then 2 less tickets will be sold, to determine the revenue function if X is the number of $ 5 increases the following calculation must be performed:

100 + (5X) = -2X

So, for example, if the price were increased by $ 15, the equation would apply as follows:

15/5 = 3

100 + (5x3) = -2 x 3

100 + 15 = -6

115 = -6

Log(2)4+log(2)3,16227766/log(2)20+log(2)8
Shalnov [3]
We know the rules of logarithms:
log a^b = b * log a
log a * b = log a + log b
and we know that : 10^0.5 = 3,166227766
So:
( log (2) 4 + log (2) 3,16227766) / ( log (2) 20 + log (2) 8 ) =
= ( 2 + log (2) 10^(0.5) ) / ( log (2) 2 + log (2) 10 + 3 ) =
= ( 2 + 0.5 log (2) 10 ) / ( 1 + log (2) 10 + 3 ) =
= ( 2 + 0.5 log (2) 10 / ( 4 + log (2) 10 ) =
= ( 2 + 0.5 log (2) 10 ) / 2 * ( 2 + 0.5 log (2) 10 ) = ( cancelling )
= 1 / 2  = 0.5

Simplify 125×t-⁴/5-³×625×t-⁸​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}}=a^{m-n}\\\\a^{m}*a^{n}=a^{m+n}\\\\\frac{125t^{-4}}{5^{-3}}*625*t^{-8}\\\\=\frac{5^{3}t^{-4}}{5^{-3}}*5^{4}*t^{-8}\\\\=5^{3-[-3]+4}*t^{-4-8}\\\\=5^{3+3+4}t^{-12}\\\\=5^{10}t^{-12}\\\\=\frac{5^{10}}{t^{12}}
