Two owners of a cattle ranch, Robert and Val, want to find the average weight for the ranch’s 200 cows. Instead of weighing all

of the cows: Robert weighs 25 cows and gets an average weight of 1,550 pounds (stdev = 50) Val weighs 100 cows and gets an average weight of 1,380 pounds (stdev = 50) What is Val’s margin of error, rounded to the nearest whole number? (The formula is 1.96 (std dev) / square root of N

Using it's formula, it is found that Val's margin of error is of 9.8 pounds.

<h3>Margin of error:</h3>

The margin of error is given by the following equation:

M = 1.96\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • s is the standard deviation.
  • n is the sample size.

In this problem:

  • The standard deviation is of 50, hence s = 50.
  • Val weighed 100 cows, hence n = 100.

Then:

M = 1.96\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 1.96\frac{50}{\sqrt{100}}

M = 9.8

Val's margin of error is of 9.8 pounds.

7(x + 4) + 5(x-6) please expand and simplify
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

12x − 2

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x+4)+5(x−6)

Distribute:

=(7)(x) + (7)(4) + (5)(x) + (5)(−6)

=7x + 28 + 5x − 30

Combine Like Terms:

=7x + 28 + 5x − 30

=(7x+5x) + (28−30)

= 12x − 2

The total money spent for the Dinner and Dessert is $22 so to figure out how much was spent on the taxi ride you're going to want to subtract $22 from $31 (31 = x + 22) or (31 - 22 = x).

Solve<br> 6x−10(x+12)=−4x−24<br> Show your work.
gladu [14]

6x - 10(x + 12) = -4x - 24

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

6x - 10x - 120 = -4x - 24

<em><u>Add 10x to both sides.</u></em>

6x - 120 = 6x - 24

<em><u>Cancel like terms.</u></em>

<em>Add 24 to both sides.</em>

-96 ≠ 0.

This equation is incorrect, as -96 will never be equal to 0.

The drawing shows a stack of paper cups. The cups are 20 cm high. Each cup after the first adds 0.8 cm to the height of the stac
Harrizon [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The total number of whole cups that we can fit in the dispenser is 25

<u>Solution:</u>

It is given that the height of each cup is 20 cm.

But when we stack them one on top of the other, they only add a height of 0.8 to the stack.  

The stack of cups has to be put in a dispenser of height 30 cm.

So we need o find out how many cups can fit in the dispenser.

Since the first cup is 20 cm high, the height cannot be reduced. So the space to fit in the remaining cups in the stack is only 30-20 cm as that’s the remaining space in the dispenser

So,

30 - 20 = 10 cm

To stack the other cups we have 10 cm of height remaining

As we know that addition of each adds 0.8 cm to the stack, the total number of cups that can be fit in the dispenser can be calculated by the following equation. Let the number of cups other than the first cup be denoted by ‘x’.

10 + 0.8x = 30

0.8x = 20

x = 25

The total number of cups that we can fit in dispenser is 25

What is another way to write the function f(x) = 5^x. The choices are
Kay [80]

Answer:

Correct answer is f(x) = (625^x)^1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

625 = 5^4

This means

f(x) = (625^x)^1/4

f(x) = (5^(4x))^1/4

But we know this is equivalent to

f(x) = (5^(4x*(1/4))) =

= 5^(x)

Correct answer is f(x) = (625^x)^1/4
