A college financial advisor wants to estimate the mean cost of textbooks per quarter for students at the college. For the estimate to be useful, it should have a margin of error of 20 dollars or less. The standard deviation of prices is estimated to be around 100 dollars. How large of a sample size needs to be used to be 95% confident, with the given margin of error?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

minimum sample size = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error = 20

standard deviation = 100

sample size = n

standard error = 100/sqrt(n)

confidence level, alpha = 95%

Using the standard rule for 95% confidence

standard error <= sample mean [tex]\pm[/tex] 1.96 standard error, or

20 <= 1.96*100 / sqrt(n)

n >= (1.96*100/20)^2 = 9.8^2 = 96.04  

=>

n >= 97

Currently Shawn pays $550 per month to rent his apartment. Next year his rent will increase by 13.5% from what he currently pays . a) find the amount that shawn's rent will increase . b) what will be shawn's new monthly rent?. c) If you divide your answer from (b) by shawn's original rent of $550, what is the decimal result? do you see any connection to part (a)?

Answers

a) Simply do 0.135(13.5%)*550 to get that his rent increases by $74.25.

b) Simply do 550+74.25 to get that his new rent is $624.25.

c) 624.25/550 = 1.135, or 100%+13.5%, the amount his rent increased.

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

A. $74.25

B. $624.25

C. 1.135, and this is a connection to part a because it's what we multiplied 550 by to get our new rent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Shawn pays $550 per month for rent, and he has a 13.5% increase, we can multiply 550 by [tex]1+\frac{13.5}{100}[/tex] to get our new number.

[tex]1+0.135=1.135[/tex]

[tex]550\cdot1.135=624.25[/tex]

This is the new monthly rent, part B. To find Part A, let's subtract 550 from thi number.

[tex]624.25-550=74.25[/tex]

Now, for part C, let's divide 624.25 by 550.

[tex]624.25\div550 = 1.135[/tex]

If you notice, 1.135 is the same number we multiplied 550 by to get our new cost, and as a percent, 1.135 is 113.5%.

State sales tax S S is directly proportional to retail price p p . An item that sells for 142 142 dollars has a sales tax of 12.32 12.32 dollars. Find a mathematical model that gives the amount of sales tax S S in terms of the retail price p p .

Answers

Answer: [tex]S=0.087p[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for direct proportion:

y=kx

, where x= independent variable ,

y=dependent variable.

k= proportionality constant

Here, State sales tax S  is directly proportional to retail price p.

Also, dependent variable= S,  independent variable =p

Answers

Answer:

1970.5 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Vehicle sales in 2009 = 10,002 thousand

Vehicle sales in 2013 = 17,884 thousand

Required

Determine the average rate of change;

From the given parameters, it can be seen that the number of vehicles is a function of year

Let x represent the years and y represent the number of vehicles;

Such that;

[tex]x_1 = 2009;\ y_1 = 10,002[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 2013;\ y_2 = 17,884[/tex]

The rate of change is calculate as follows;

[tex]m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{10002 - 17884}{2009 - 2013}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-7882}{-4}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-7882}{-4}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

y = 1110

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the cubic model

y=x³ +x² + x

We are to solve for y when x = 10

Hence,

y = 10³ + 10² + 10

y = 1000 + 100 + 10

y = 1110

Therefore, the value of y when x is 10 using the cubic model of ' y =x³ +x² + x' is 1110.

A packet of candles and box of matches cost #420. The candles cost 20 times as much as the matches

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation has to do with arrangement. If r objevt selected from n pool of objects are to be arranged in a straight line, this can be done in nPr number of ways.

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

If 5 people are to be chosen and arranged in a straight line, if there are 6 people to choose from, this can be done in  6P5 numbe of ways.

6P5 = 6!/(6-5)!

6P5 = 6!/1!

Find the dimensions of a rectangle with area 512 m2 whose perimeter is as small as possible. (If both values are the same number, enter it into both blanks.)

Answers

Answer:

√512 by √512

Step-by-step explanation:

Length the length and breadth of the rectangle be x and y.

Area of the rectangle A = Length * breadth

Perimeter P = 2(Length + Breadth)

A = xy and P = 2(x+y)

If the area of the rectangle is 512m², then 512 = xy

x = 512/y

Substituting x = 512/y into the formula for calculating the perimeter;

P = 2(512/y + y)

P = 1024/y + 2y

To get the value of y, we will set dP/dy to zero and solve.

dP/dy = -1024y⁻² + 2

-1024y⁻² + 2 = 0

-1024y⁻² = -2

512y⁻² = 1

y⁻² = 1/512

1/y² = 1/512

y²  = 512

y = √512 m

On testing for minimum, we must know that the perimeter is at the minimum when y = √512

From xy = 512

x(√512) = 512

x = 512/√512

On rationalizing, x = 512/√512 * √512 /√512

x = 512√512 /512

x = √512 m

Hence, the dimensions of a rectangle is √512 m  by √512 m

A slope is also known as the gradient of a line is a number. The correct option is B.

What is Slope?

A slope is also known as the gradient of a line is a number that helps to know both the direction and the steepness of the line.

slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)


The rate of change shown in the graph is the slope of the given line.

Now, to know the slope of the line consider any two points on the line, such as (0,0) and (5,400).

Therefore, the slope of the line can be written as,

Solve the equation for the indicated variable. C=680x/h^2 for x

Answers

Answer:

C h^2  / 680 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

C=680x/h^2

Multiply each side by h^2

C h^2=680x/h^2  * h^2

C h^2=680x

Divide each side by 680

C h^2  / 680=680x/680

C h^2  / 680 = x

First step: multiply both sides by h^2
That gives you Ch^2= 680x

Second step: divide both sides by 680
That gives you (ch^2)/680=x
