if your bicycle tire has a diameter of 9 inches. how many rotations does each tire make if you travel 300 feet?

1 answer:

8 0

Step One
Calculate the number of feet traveled in 1 rotation.

Formula
C = π*d
P = 3.14
d = 9 inches = 9/12 feet = 3/4 of a foot.

C = 3.14 * 3/4 = 2.355 So that means that every time the tire turns around 1 complete turn, the distance traveled on the ground is 2.355 feet.

Step Two
Figure out the number of revolutions.
1 revolution = 2.355 feet
x revolutions = 300 feet.

1/x = 2.355/ 300 Cross multiply
2.355 feet * x = 1 rev * 300 feet
2.355 x = 300 rev Divide by 2.355
x = 300 / 2.355
x = 127.39 revolutions. <<<< Answer

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.96(60)}{15})^2 =61.46 \approx 62$

So the answer for this case would be n=62 rounded up to the nearest integer

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".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample
