Among 320 randomly selected airline travelers, the mean number of hours spent travelling per year is 24 hours and the standard deviation is 2. 9. What is the margin of error, assuming a 90% confidence level? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

The margin of error of the random selection is 0.29

The given parameters are:

[tex]n = 320[/tex] --- the sample size

[tex]\sigma = 2.9[/tex] --- the standard deviation

[tex]\bar x = 24[/tex] --- the mean

[tex]\alpha = 90\%[/tex] --- the confidence level.

The margin of error (E) is calculated as follows:

[tex]E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2}{n}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{3.2^2}{320}}[/tex]

[tex]E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{10.24}{320}}[/tex]

The z-value for 90% confidence level is 1.645.

Substitute 1.645 for z

[tex]E = 1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{10.24}{320}}[/tex]

[tex]E = 1.645 \times \sqrt{0.032}[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]E = 1.645 \times 0.1789[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]E = 0.2943[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]E = 0.29[/tex]

Hence, the margin of error is 0.29

The sum of Alyssa's age and her sister's age is 48 years. Alyssa's age is 6 years less than twice her sister's age. What is Alyssa's age, and what is her sister's age?​

Answers

Answer:

Alyssa's Sister = 18, Alyssa = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

48 = 2x-6 + x

54 = 2x + x

54 = 3x

18 = x

2(18) - 6

36 - 6

30

48 = 2(18) - 6 + 18

48 = 36 - 6 + 18

48 = 30 + 18

48 = 48

The quadratic equation has two solutions If

2) b2-4ac>0

Answers

The quadratic equation has two solutions if b^2 - 4ac > 0

Given the equation ax^4 + bx^2 + c=0

Let P = x^2

Substitute into the formula to have:

a(x^2)^2 + bx^2 + c =0

The equation becomes aP^2 + bP + c = 0

For us to have a unique solution, the discriminant b^2 - 4ac must be greater than zero. Hence the quadratic equation has two solutions if b^2 - 4ac > 0

Answers

Answer:

4√2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a square.

Each side measures 8 cm.

So,

AB = BC = CD = AD = 8 cm

P, Q, R, and S are mid - points of ABCD.

P is the mid - point of AB.

So,

AP = PB

AP + PB = AB

AP + AP = AB

2AP = 8

AP = 8 / 2

AP = 4 cm

S id the mid - point of AD.

So,

DS = SA

DS + SA = AD

SA + SA = AD

2SA = 8

SA = 8 / 2

SA = 4 cm

Property of a square : The angle between two sides is 90°.

So,

The angle between side SA and AP is 90°.

So,

SA, AP and SP forms a right angled triangles.

By Pythagoras theorem,

( SP)² = ( SA )² + ( AP )²

( SP )² = 4² + 4²

= 16 + 16

( SP )² = 32

SP = √32

SP = 4√2 cm

Since PQRS is also a square.

In square, all sides are equal.

So,

PQ = QR = RS = SP

Since SP = 4√2 cm

Hence,

PQ = 4√2 cm

Therefore,

the length of PQ is 4√2 cm.

Answer: 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint means the middle of line. So to find the middle of the line I just need to divide the line by 2.

So the midpoint of AB is:

8/2=4 = BP

Since Q is also a midpoint so BQ is equal to 4.

We know BP=BQ=4. Looking at the diagram we can tell PBQ is a triangle.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is PQ.

Pythagoras's theorem helps us to find the hypotenuse. So we just plug in the values to find PQ.

P's Theorem : a²+b²=c²

basically in the case of this question it means:

(BP)²+(BQ)²=(PQ)²

now we just subsiture the values and solve for PQ:

4²+4²=(PQ)²

16+16=(PQ)²

32=(PQ)²

PQ=5.65...

= 5.7(rounded to one decimal place)

• The word “sum” means add

• The word “difference” means subtract

• The word “product” means multiply

• The word “quotient” means divide

• The word “is” means equal to

• The “unknown number” is a variable that is not known. So people usually label it as a variable until they figure out what the unknown value is.

Now that we have that information out the way we can solve for your given question.

“The [DIFFERENCE] between [a number] & 16 [is] 49

Lets break it down

• DIFFERENCE (between) = subtract☑️

• A NUMBER = UNKNOWN (so we will label it is as “n”]☑️

• 16 will stay the same because NOTHING was done to it!

• IS = is equal to☑️

PLSS HELP whats 4.922 rounded to the nearest hundredth PLS​

Answers

Answer:

4.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 4.92

Step-by-step explanation:

To round a three decimal integer like 4.922, you look at the trailing digit or last decimal (2) in this case.

Then determine if greater or less than 5. If greater or equal to 5, remove last digit 2 and then add 1 to the number before (2) or 2nd decimals place.

So we have 4.922 with last decimals being 2.

Therefore, we do not add and keep last decimals before the same.

triangle ABC rotated 90 degress clockwise about point P to create triangle DEF. Determine the correct orientation and location of triangle DEF

Answers

When a triangle is rotated, it must be rotated through a center.

The location of the triangle would be above point P, and the orientation is triangle DEF (the first triangle)

The triangle is given as: triangle ABC.

And the degree of rotation is 90 degrees clockwise.

Given that the triangle is rotated about point P, then the new location after 90 degrees rotation would be above point P.

And the orientation would point to the right of point P.

Hence, the location of the triangle would be above point P, and the orientation is triangle DEF (the first triangle).
