If it is assumed that the heights of men are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches, how large a sample sh

ould be taken to be fairly sure (probability 0.95) that the sample mean does not differ from the true mean (population mean) by more than 0.90 in absolute value? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

30 men

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be sure that the sample mean does differ from the population mean by more than 0.90, the sample size (n) that should be used is given by:

0.90 < Z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where 'Z' , for a 95% probability is 1.960, 's' is the standard deviation of 2.5 inches:

0.90 > 1.960\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{n}}\\n >(\frac{1.960*2.5}{0.9})^2\\n>29.64

Rounding up to the nearest whole number, the sample size should be at least 30 men.

If log2 5 = k, determine an expression for log32 5 in terms of k.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

log_3_2(5)=\frac{1}{5} k

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by using change of base property:

log_b(x)=\frac{log_a(x)}{log_a(b)}

So, for log_2(5)

log_2(5)=k=\frac{log(5)}{log(2)}\hspace{10}(1)

Now, using change of base for log_3_2(5)

log_3_2(5)=\frac{log(5)}{log(32)}

You can express 32 as:

2^5

Using reduction of power property:

log_z(x^y)=ylog_z(x)

log(32)=log(2^5)=5log(2)

Therefore:

log_3_2(5)=\frac{log(5)}{5*log(2)}=\frac{1}{5} \frac{log(5)}{log(2)}\hspace{10}(2)

As you can see the only difference between (1) and (2) is the coefficient \frac{1}{5} :

So:

\frac{log(5)}{log(2)} =k\\

log_3_2(5)=\frac{1}{5} \frac{log(5)}{log(2)} =\frac{1}{5} k

The question is below:​
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x = 19.5, RQS=43

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to note that RQS and TQS are supplementary, meaning their angles will add up to 180. Knowing this, we can create and solve the equation to find x..

(2x+4) + (6x+20) = 180

8x + 24 = 180

8x = 156

x = 19.5

Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute it into the equation for RQS, 2x+4.

2(19.5)+4

39+4

43

Hope this helped!
