The Pythagorean Theorem is a²+b²=c². Since we are given the lengths of a and b, we can plug them into this formula to find the length of the hypotenuse.

7²+3²=c²

49+9=c²

58=c²

c=√58 or 7.62 cm

the mean percentage of a population of people eating out at least once a week is 57% with a standard deviation of 3.5 %. assume

zhuklara [117]

Given:
Population proportion, $\mu _{p}$ = 57% = 0.57
Population standard deviation, σ = 3.5% = 0.035
Sample size, n = 40
Confidence level = 95%

The standard error is
$SE_{p} = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } = \sqrt{ \frac{0.57*0.43}{40} } =0.0783$

The confidence interval is
$\hat{p} \pm z^{*}SE_{p}$
where
$\hat{p}$ = sample proportion
z* = 1.96 at the 95% confidence lvvel

The sample proportion lies in the interval
(0.57-1.96*0.0783, 0.57+1.96*0.0783) = (0.4165, 0.7235)

Answer: Between 0.417 and 72.4), or between (41% and 72%)

Mr. Mole left his burrow and started digging his way down at a constant rate.

Art [367]

Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

We need to determine the distance that Mr. Mole covers in a single minute.

To do that we divide the difference in values of altitude by the difference in the time periods.

For the first case, Mr. Mole had traveled -18 meters in 5 minutes.

We also have, he traveled -25.2 meters in 8 minutes.

Step 2:

The distance he covered in 1 minute $= \frac{-25.2-(-18)}{8-5} = \frac{-25.2+18}{3},$

$\frac{-25.2+18}{3} = \frac{-7.2}{3} = -2.4.$

So with every minute, Mr. Mole digs down an additional 2.4 meters below the surface.

To determine where Mr. Mole's burrow is we subtract the distance traveled in 5 minutes from -18.

The altitude of Mr. Mole's burrow $= -18 - 5(-2.4) = -18+12 = -6.$

So Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground i.e. -6 meters.
