A study on students drinking habits wants to determine the true average number of alcoholic drinks all uf underclassmen students

have in a one week period. We know from preliminary studies that the standard deviation is around 2. 8. How many students should be sampled to be within 1. 5 drink of population mean with 90% probability?.

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is 2

Margin error for the problem is 1

Probability 95%, that means thet the siginficance level α is 1 – p

α = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05

margin of error (ME) can be defined as follows

ME = Z(α/2) * standard deviation/ √n

Where n is the sample size

Z(0.05/2) = Z(0.025)

Using a z table Z = 1.96

Now, replacing in the equation and find n

1 = 1.96 * 2/ √n

1 = 3.92 / √n

√n = 3.92

n = 3.92^2

n = 15.36 = 16

i hope this work for you

On a right triangle, to find one missing side you can use this equation
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are the sides next to the right angle, and c is the hypotenuse (side not connected to right angle).

You first need to find the length of the dotted line before finding x. This is because to be able to use the above formula, you have to know the length of two out of three of the sides.

To solve the length of the dotted line, note that it also makes a triangle with the 5 unit line and the 5 √5 unit line. You can plug these numbers into the formula.
(5)^2+b^2=(5 √5)^2
25+b^2=125
b^2=100
b=10

Now that you know the length of the dotted line is 10 units, you can now solve for x

(20)^2+(10)^2=x^2
400+100=x^2
500=x^2
x= √500, which equals 22.361

I NEED HELPP PLZ Which equation best represents the relationship shown in this graph?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

y = 2x

the formula for linear equations are y = mx+c,

where m is the gradient,

and c is the y-intercept

to find m (the gradient):

1. pick to points on the graph (eg. -2,-4 and 2,4)

2 substitute the values into the formula for gradient y2-y1/x2-x1.

m = y2-y1/x1-x2

= -4 -4/-2-2

= -8/-4

= 2

to find c (y-intercept):

- the y-intercept is where the graph cuts the y axis

- in this graph, the y-intercept is 0

hence,

c = 0

substitute m = 2 and c = 0 to y = mx+c,

y = 2x + 0

y = 2x

hence, the equation that best represents the relationship shown in the graph is y = 2x.

The diameter of a circle that has an area of 452.16 mm
irinina [24]
The diameter is 24 since if you ÷ it by 2 you get 12 to get area it is radius squared so 12 × 12= 144×pi which is 3.14= 452.16 mm you can even check in a calculator
