You are traveling by car to New York City. The map you will use for your journey is below. d) You plan to begin your journey in

San Jose and make stops in Denver and Chicago on your way to New York City. Your father says that your journey will be about 3,000 miles. Is this a close estimation of the distance? Explain your reasoning.

Based on the cities you will go through and your starting and finishing points, your father's estimate is a <u>close estimation</u> of the distance.

<h3>How far is New York from San Jose?</h3>

The map is not provided so we will use a general map.

The distance from San Jose to Denver is around 1,301 miles.

The distance from Denver to Chicago is around 1,004 miles.

The distance from Chicago to New York is around 796 miles.

Added together we get:

= 1,301 + 1,004 + 796

= 3,101 miles

This is close to the 3,000 miles your father estimated.

Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation which models the path of a stone as:

$H(x)=-5x^2+10x+15$

At the time when the stone was thrown

x=0

Therefore:

$H(0)=-5(0)^2+10(0)+15\\H(0)=15$

The height of the stone at the time it is thrown is 15 units.

A sample size must be determined for estimating a population mean given that the confidence level is % and the desired margin o

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

$n =290$

b

$n =129$

c

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is $E = 0.23$

The largest value is k = 15

The smallest value is u = 7

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally population standard deviation estimate is mathematically represented as

$\sigma = \frac{Range }{4}$

Here the Range is mathematically represented as

$Range = k - u$

=> $Range = 15 - 7$

=> $Range = 8$

=> $\sigma = \frac{8 }{4}$

=> $\sigma = 2$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ] ^2$

=> $n = [1.96 * 2 }{0.23} ] ^2$

=> $n =290$

Generally to obtain a conservatively small sample size the population standard deviation estimate becomes

=> $\sigma = \frac{Range }{6}$

=> $\sigma = \frac{8 }{6}$

=> $\sigma =1.333$

Generally the conservatively small sample size is mathematically evaluated as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ] ^2$

=> $n = [1.96 * 1.333 }{0.23} ] ^2$

=> $n =129$

Jenny wants to rent a truck for one day. She contacted two companies. Laguana’s Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile. Salv

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The total cost will be the same for both companies after 20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I wrote the equations:

Laguna's Truck Rentals: 2x + 20

Salvatori's truck rentals: 3x

To find when the total cost for both companies will be the same, I kept substituting numbers for the variable until it worked. So, the total cost for both companies will be the same after 20 miles. Hope this helped!
