Answer:

  30.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two fires can be found using the Law of Cosines. For ΔABC in which sides 'a' and 'b' are given, along with angle C, the third side is ...

  c = √(a² +b² -2ab·cos(C))

The angle measured between the two fires is ...

  180° -(69° -35°) = 146°

and the distance is ...

  c = √(11² +21² -2(11)(21)cos(146°)) ≈ √945.015

  c ≈ 30.74

The straight-line distance between the two fires is about 30.7 km.

Population A and Population B both have a mean height of 70.0 inches with an SD of 6.0. A random sample of 50 people is picked f
Alex

Answer:

Sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To yield a more accurate estimate of the population mean, margin of error should be minimized.

margin of error (ME) of the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level(z-score or t-score)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample (or of the population if it is known)
  • N is the sample size

for a given confidence level, and the same standard deviation, as the sample size increases, margin of error decreases.

Thus, random sample of 50 people from population A, has smaller margin of error than the sample of 20 people from population B.

Therefore, sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

Given

Cost = \$9.79 per bushel

Required

Determine the cost of 1000 bushels

If 1 bushel costs $9.79,

Then 1000 costs:

Total = \$9.79 * 1000

Total = \$9790

Anarel [89]

Answer:

2,880 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Week 1: 3,000 cases

Week 2: 0.4 * 3,000 = 1,200. 1,200 + 3,000 = 4,200

Week 3: 0.4 * 4,200 = 1,680. 1,680 + 4,200 = 5,880

5,880 - 3,000 = 2,880
