Answer:

$7.20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we would have to find out how much to subtract from $62.

We need to multiply 90% and 62 or 0.9 x 62

When we finish this equation we get 54.8, which is what we need to subtract from 62 to see what 90% off is.

62 - 54.8 = 7.2, so therefore our answer is $7.20

$\text{Here,}\\\\\text{Opposite side,}~ O = 2\\\\\text{Hypotenuse,}~ H = \sqrt 5 \\\\\text{Adjacent side,}~ A = \sqrt{5-4} = \sqrt 1 =1 ~~ ;[\text{By using Pythagorean theorem}]\\\\\\\sin \theta = \dfrac{O}H = \dfrac 2{\sqrt 5}\\\\\\\cos \theta = \dfrac{A}{H} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt 5} \\ \\\\ \tan \theta = \dfrac{O}{A} = \dfrac 21 = 2$

$csc \theta = \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta} = \dfrac{\sqrt 5}2\\\\\\\sec \theta = \dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} = \sqrt 5 \\\\\\\cot \theta = \dfrac 1{\tan \theta} = \dfrac 12$

Suppose that you take 1000 simple random samples from a population and that, for each sample, you obtain a 95% confidence interv

Bogdan [553]

Using the interpretation of a confidence interval, it is found that approximately 950 of those confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

A x% confidence interval means that we are x% confident that the population mean is in the interval.

Out of a large number of intervals, approximately x% will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

In this problem:

95% confidence interval.
1000 samples.

0.95 x 1000 = 950

Hence, approximately 950 of those confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Each child will receive 0.125 (or 12.5%) of the estate.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the surviving spouse gets one half of the estate, the other half have to be divided among the four surviving children.

So its 0,5 divided among the 4 surviving children. That is 0.125 or 12.5% of the estate.

Each child will receive 0.125 of the estate.
