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

Solve the system of equations 2x + 2y = 6 and 2y - x = 12 using any method.
beks73 [17]
2y + 2x = 6
2y - x = 12
Subtract
3x = -6, x = -2
2(-2) + 2y = 6
-4 + 2y = 6
2y = 10, y = 5
Final solution: x = -2, y = 5

The population growth of a community is modeled by the equation P (x) = 15,5580.4x + 1, where P (x) is population and x is time
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The population will be double in 0.5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth of a community is modeled by the equation P(x) = 155580(4)^{x + 1}, where P (x) is population and x is time in years beginning with x = 0.

Therefore, the population at x = 0 will be = P(0) = 155580(4)^{0 + 1} = 622320

If the population becomes double then we can write the equation as

P(x) = 2 \times 622320 = 155580(4)^{x + 1}

⇒ 4^{x + 1} = 8

⇒ 2^{2(x + 1)} = 2^{3}

⇒ 2(x + 1) = 3 {Comparing the power terms}

⇒ x + 1 = 1.5

⇒ x = 0.5 years.

Therefore, the population will be double in 0.5 years. (Answer)

The radius of a circle is 6 inches. What is the length of a 135-degree arc?
svp [43]
14.14 inches

Convert 135° into radians. 135*2pi/360=3pi/4.
6*3pi/4=18pi/4=9pi/2=14.14

Another viable method is to do 2pi*6*135/360=14.14
