Answer:

it has a lower mass/volume ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. An elevator will have the same volume, regardless of the number of people. The mass will increase with the number of people.

An elevator with 50 people in it will have a higher mass/volume ratio than an elevator with 3 people in it. Hence the latter is less dense.

<em>Additional comment</em>

50 persons would require an industrial elevator of perhaps 10,000 pound load capacity. There might be safety issues with carrying that many people.

Answer:

A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of letter sounds identified in one minute is: (30.84, 37.34).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.05 = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 1.645\frac{23.44}{\sqrt{141}}$

$M = 3.25$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 34.09 - 3.25 = 30.84.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 34.09 + 3.25 = 37.34.

A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of letter sounds identified in one minute is: (30.84, 37.34).

The value of y varies directly as the square of x and y=27 when x=9. Find the equation represents this relationship. Report the

skad [1K]

Answer:

The relation between x and y is

$y=\frac13 x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The value of y varies directly as the square of x.

$y\propto x^2$

$\Rightarrow y=rx^2$

where r is constant of proportional.

Given that,

y= 27 and x=9

Plug y= 27 and x=9 in above relation

$y=rx^2$

$\therefore 27=r(9)^2$

$\Rightarrow 27 = r.81$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{27}{81}$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{1}{3}$

The relation between x and y is

$y=\frac13 x^2$
