Answer:
We are 95% confident that the percent of executives who prefer trucks is between 19.43% and 33.06%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that in a group of randomly selected adults, 160 identified themselves as executives.
n = 160
Also we are given that 42 of executives preferred trucks.
So the proportion of executives who prefer trucks is given by
p = 42/160
p = 0.2625
We are asked to find the 95% confidence interval for the percent of executives who prefer trucks.
We can use normal distribution for this problem if the following conditions are satisfied.
n×p ≥ 10
160×0.2625 ≥ 10
42 ≥ 10 (satisfied)
n×(1 - p) ≥ 10
160×(1 - 0.2625) ≥ 10
118 ≥ 10 (satisfied)
The required confidence interval is given by
Where p is the proportion of executives who prefer trucks, n is the number of executives and z is the z-score corresponding to the confidence level of 95%.
Form the z-table, the z-score corresponding to the confidence level of 95% is 1.96
Therefore, we are 95% confident that the percent of executives who prefer trucks is between 19.43% and 33.06%
Answer: there are 59059 lbs of gravel.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a mixture of concrete, there are four lbs of cement mix for each pound of gravel. This means that eight lbs of cement would be mixed for 2 pounds of gravel and 12 lbs of cement would be mixed for 3 pounds of gravel and 12. Therefore, the constant ratio of cement to gravel is 4:1
The total ratio is 4 + 1 = 5
If the mixture contains a total of 295295 lb of these two ingredients, then the number of pounds of gravel that are there is
1/5 × 295295 = 59059 lbs
Answer:
12√5
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the attached sketch, there are 2 triangles which we need to focus on, triangle A (in yellow) and triangle B (In red).
If you look at triangle A, we notice that X is the hypotenuse of triangle A. This means that X must be the largest length in triangle A, hence we can say that x must be greater than 24 (or 24 < x)
Now look at triangle B, in this case, they hypotenuse is 30 and x is the length of one of the sides. This means that x must be shorter than the hypotenuse (i.e x < 30)
from the 2 paragraphs above, we can see now that we can assemble an inequality in x
24 < x < 30
If we look at the choices, we can immediately ignore 33 because x must be less than 30,
working out the choices, we find that the only choice which falls into the range 24<x<30 is the 2nd choice 12√5 (= 26.83) (which is the answer)
The last 2 choices give values smaller than 24 and are hence cannot be the answer
Answer: 8
because its going up by 8
8+8=16
16+8=24
24+8=32
