In a survey, 29 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $41 and standard deviation of $8. Construct a confidence interval at a 99% confidence level.
Give your answers to one decimal place.
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval is
[tex]37.167< \= x < 44.833[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is [tex]n = 29[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x =[/tex]$41
The sample standard deviation is [tex]\sigma =[/tex]$8
The level of confidence is [tex]C =[/tex]99%
Given that the confidence level id 99% the level of confidence is evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 1[/tex]%
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table which is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]
The reason we are obtaining values for is because is the area under the normal distribution curve for both the left and right tail where the 99% interval did not cover while is the area under the normal distribution curve for just one tail and we need the value for one tail in order to calculate the confidence interval
Next we evaluate the margin of error which is mathematically represented as
[tex]MOE = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]MOE = 2.58 * \frac{8 }{\sqrt{29} }[/tex]
[tex]MOE = 3.8328[/tex]
The 99% confidence level is constructed as follows
[tex]\= x - MOE < \= x < \= x + MOE[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]41 - 3.8328 < \= x < 41 + 3.8328[/tex]
[tex]37.167< \= x < 44.833[/tex]
"Radon: The Problem No One Wants to Face" is the title of an article appearing in Consumer Reports. Radon is a gas emitted from the ground that can collect in houses and buildings. At certain levels it can cause lung cancer. Radon concentrations are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). A radon level of 4 pCi/L is considered "acceptable." Radon levels in a house vary from week to week. In one house, a sample of 8 weeks had the following readings for radon level (in pCi/L). 1.92.45.75.51.98.23.96.9 (a) Find the mean, median, and mode.

A father's age is 4 times as that of his son's age. in 5 years time, the father will be 3 times as old as his son. what are their present ages?
Answer:
present age of son = 10 present age of father = 40Step-by-step explanation:
Let, present age of son be 'x'
present age of father be 'y'
y = 4x→ equation ( i )
After five years,
Son's age = x + 5
father's age = y + 5
According to Question,
[tex]y + 5 = 3(x + 5)[/tex]
Put the value of y from equation ( i )
[tex]4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)[/tex]
Distribute 3 through the parentheses
[tex]4x + 5 = 3x + 15[/tex]
Move variable to L.H.S and change it's sign
Similarly, Move constant to R.H.S. and change its sign
[tex]4x - 3x = 15 - 5[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]x = 15 - 5[/tex]
Calculate the difference
[tex]x = 10[/tex]
Now, put the value of X in equation ( i ) in order to find the present age of father
[tex]y = 4x[/tex]
plug the value of X
[tex] = 4 \times 10[/tex]
Calculate the product
[tex] = 40[/tex]
Therefore,
Present age of son = 10
present age of father = 40
Hope this helps..

Find the volume of the figure below. Round to the nearest tenth.
7 cm
7 cm
9 cm
20 cm
11 cm
Answer:
3057.6 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
You have a cylinder and a rectangular prism. Solve for the area of each separately.
Cylinder
The formula for volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h. The radius is 7, and the height is 7.
V = πr²h
V = π(7)²(7)
V = π(49)(7)
V = 343π
V = 1077.57 cm³
Rectangular Prism
The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh. The length is 20, the width is 11, and the height is 9.
V = lwh
V = (20)(11)(9)
V = (220)(9)
V = 1980 cm³
Add the areas of the two shapes.
1077.57 cm³ + 1980 cm³ = 3057.57 cm³
Round to the nearest tenth.
3057.57 cm³ ≈ 3057.6 cm³

calculate the value of angle A to one decimal place. Picture Attached
Answer:
[tex] A = 50.7 [/tex] (to nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Law of Cosines to find the value of angle A as follows:
[tex] cos(A) = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2*b*c} [/tex]
Where,
a = 7 in
b = 5 in
c = 9 in
Plug in the values into the formula
[tex] cos(A) = \frac{5^2 + 9^2 - 7^2}{2*5*9} [/tex]
[tex] cos(A) = \frac{57}{90} [/tex]
[tex] cos(A) = 0.6333 [/tex]
[tex] A = cos^{-1}(0.6333) [/tex]
[tex] A = 50.7 [/tex] (to nearest tenth)
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, 3) and (7,9).
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{slope=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We have the points
[tex](-5;\ 3)\to x_1=-5;\ y_1=3\\(7;\ 9)\to x_2=7;\ y_2=9[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]m=\dfrac{9-3}{7-(-5)}=\dfrac{6}{7+5}=\dfrac{6}{12}=\dfrac{6:6}{12:6}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the slope formula since we have 2 points
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (9-3)/( 7 - -5)
= (9-3) /( 7+5)
= 6/ 12
= 1/2

Answer:
d ≈ 8.3
Step-by-step explanation:
This is kind of like the pythagorean theorem, but with one extra value. Thus, [tex]d^2=l^2+w^2+h^2[/tex].
Plug in the values to get:
[tex]d^2=2^2+7^2+4^2\\d^2=4+49+16\\d^2=69\\d=\sqrt{69} \\[/tex]
Thus d ≈ 8.3
A group of patients select from among 38 numbers, with 18 odd numbers (black) and 18 even
numbers (red), as well as 0 and 00 (which are green). If a doctor pays $7 that the outcome is an odd
number, the probability of losing the $7 is 20/38 and the probability of winning $14 (for a net gain of
only $7, given you already paid $7) is 18/38
If a doctor pays $7 that the outcome is an odd number, how would you figure out what is the doctors
expected value is?
Answer: $2.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Probability of losing the $7 = [tex]\dfrac{20}{38}[/tex]
Probability of winning $14 = [tex]\dfrac{18}{38}[/tex]
Then, the expected value = (- $7) x ( Probability of losing the $7) + $14 x(Probability of winning $14)
= [tex](-\$ 7)\times\dfrac{20}{38}+(\$14)\times\dfrac{18}{38}[/tex]
= [tex]-\dfrac{70}{19}+\dfrac{126}{19}[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{56}{19}\times\approx\$2.95[/tex]
∴ If a doctor pays $7 that the outcome is an odd number, the doctor's
expected value is $2.95.
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle where area is 72cm.
Answer:
38.68 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of an equilateral triangle : P = 3a
Area of an equilateral triangle : A = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}a^2[/tex]
a = side length
The area is given, solve for a.
[tex]72= \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}a^2[/tex]
[tex]a = 12.894839[/tex]
The side length is 12.894839 centimeters.
Find the perimeter.
P = 3a
P = 3(12.894839)
P = 38.684517 ≈ 38.68
The perimeter is 38.68 centimeters.

The local diner offers a meal combination consisting of an appetizer, a soup, a main course, and a dessert. There are three appetizers, three soups, three main courses, and three desserts. Your diet restricts you to choosing between a dessert and an appetizer. (You cannot have both.) Given this restriction, how many three-course meals are possible
Answer:
There are 2 * 32 = 64 possible ways for choosing three course meal.
Step-by-step explanation:
1-If we choose an appetizer, main course and a soup then there are 32 ways to choose this three course meal. 4 * 2 * 4 = 32 ways. There will be an appetizer, main course and a soup in the meal.
2-If we choose a soup, main course and a dessert then there are 32 ways to choose this three course meal. 4 * 2 * 4 = 32 ways. There will be a soup, main course and a dessert in the meal.
There are 2 possible ways to choose either an appetizer or dessert in a 3 course meal. There will be 64 ways in total for the three course meal.
P(x)=2x^5+9x^4+9x^3+3x^2+7x-6;x=i,-2
Answer:
The value of the polynomial function at P(1) and P(-2) is 24 and 0 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given with the following polynomial function below;
[tex]\text{P}(x) = 2x^{5} +9x^{4} +9x^{3} +3x^{2}+7x-6[/tex]
Now, we have to calculate the value of P(x) at x = 1 and x = -2.
For this, we will substitute the value of x in the given polynomial and find it's value.
At x = 1;
[tex]\text{P}(1) = 2(1)^{5} +9(1)^{4} +9(1)^{3} +3(1)^{2}+7(1)-6[/tex]
[tex]\text{P}(1) = (2\times 1) +(9\times 1)+(9 \times 1)+(3\times 1)+(7\times 1)-6[/tex]
[tex]\text{P}(1) = 2 +9+9+3+7-6[/tex]
P(1) = 30 - 6
P(1) = 24
At x = -2;
[tex]\text{P}(-2) = 2(-2)^{5} +9(-2)^{4} +9(-2)^{3} +3(-2)^{2}+7(-2)-6[/tex]
[tex]\text{P}(-2) = (2\times -32) +(9\times 16)+(9 \times -8)+(3\times 4)+(7\times -2)-6[/tex]
[tex]\text{P}(-2) = -64 +144-72+12-14-6[/tex]
P(-2) = 156 - 156
P(-2) = 0
Hence, the value of the polynomial function at P(1) and P(-2) is 24 and 0 respectively.

WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST GETS BRAINLIEST:) Which expression represents the surface area of the cone? A cone with diameter 12 inches, height 8 inches, and slant height 10 inches. S A = pi r l + pi r squared (pi) (6) (10) + (pi) (6 squared) (pi) (8) (10) + (pi) (8 squared) (pi) (12) (10) + (pi) (12 squared) (pi) (10) (12) + (pi) (10 squared)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a cone is:
● Sa = Pi*r^2 +Pi*r*l
r is the radius and l is the slant heigth
The diameter of this cone is 12 inches so the radius is 6 (12/2=6).
●Sa = Pi*36 +Pi*6*10
●Sa = 301.59 in^2
Answer:
pi (6) * 10+ pi ( 6)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a cone is given by
SA = pi rl +pi r^2 where r is the radius and l is the slant height
We know the diameter is 12 so the radius is 12/2 = 6
SA = pi (6) * 10+ pi ( 6)^2
What is the focus of the parabola? y=−1/4x2−x+3
Answer: Focus = (-2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x+3\\\\\rightarrow a=-\dfrac{1}{4},\ b=-1[/tex]
First let's find the vertex. We do that by finding the Axis-Of-Symmetry:
[tex]AOS: x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}\quad =\dfrac{-(-1)}{2(\frac{-1}{4})}=\dfrac{1}{-\frac{1}{2}}=-2[/tex]
Then finding the maximum by inputting x = -2 into the given equation:
[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{4}(-2)^2-(-2)+3\\\\y=-1+2+3\\\\y=4[/tex]
The vertex is: (-2, 4)
Now let's find p, which is the distance from the vertex to the focus:
[tex]a=\dfrac{1}{4p}\\\\\\-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4p}\\\\\\p=-1[/tex]
The vertex is (-2, 4) and p = -1
The focus is (-2, 4 + p) = (-2, 4 - 1) = (-2, 3)
A college administrator predicts that the proportion of students that are nursing majors is greater than 40%. To test this, a group of 400 students are randomly selected and it's determined that 190 are nursing majors. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test:
H0:p=0.40
Ha:p>0.40
In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.001. Find the conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the following data:
H0:p=0.40 (null hypothesis)
Ha:p>0.40 (alternative hypothesis)
The p-value was determined to be 0.001.
a significance level of 5%
Since the p value (0.001) is less than the significance level (0.05), we will reject the null hypothesis and then we would conclude that the proportion of students that are nursing majors is greater than 0.4.
Answer:
p value= 0.131
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have calculated the test statistic, we can now proceed to find the p-value for this hypothesis test.Using the test statistic and since the hypothesis test is a left tailed test, the p-value will then be the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the test statistic of -1.12.Using the Standard Normal table given above, the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the test statistic of -1.12 is 0.131 (rounded to 3 decimal places.Thus the p-value = 0.131.
A cash register has $10 and $50 dollars bills with total of $1080.there are 28 bills in total how many of each bills.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's set this up as a system of equations, where x is equal to the number of 10 dollar bills and y is equal to the number of 50 dollar bills.
10x+50y=1080
x+y=28
We want to solve for x or y. We can rearrange the second equation to find the value of one of the variables.
x+y=28
Subtract x from both sides.
y=28-x
Now, we have a value for y. So, we could replace the y in the first equation with 28-x and the solve for x.
10x+50(28-x)=1080
We use distributive property to undo the parentheses.
10x+1400-50x=1080
We combine like terms.
-40x+1400=1080
We subtract 1400 from both sides.
-40x=-320
We divide both sides by -40.
x=8
Since there are 28 total bills, this means that there must be 20 50 dollar ones because there are 8 10 dollar bills.

A right triangle has legs with lengths equal to 10 inches and 9x inches. Its hypotenuse measures (x + 10) inches. What is the approximate value of the hypotenuse? 10 inches 10.25 inches 20.25 inches 81 inches
Answer:
10.25 inchesStep-by-step explanation:
Given,
Perpendicular ( p ) = 9x
Base ( b ) = 10
Hypotenuse ( h ) = x + 10
Now, let's find the value of x
Using Pythagoras theorem:
[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
Plug the values
[tex] {(x + 10)}^{2} = {(9x)}^{2} + {(10)}^{2} [/tex]
Using [tex] {(a + b)}^{2} = {a}^{2} + 2ab + {b}^{2} [/tex] , expand the expression
[tex] {x}^{2} + 20x + 100 = {(9x)}^{2} + {10}^{2} [/tex]
To raise a product to a power , raise each factor to that power
[tex] {x}^{2} + 20x + 100 = 81 {x}^{2} + {10}^{2} [/tex]
Evaluate the power
[tex] {x}^{2} + 20x + 100 = 81 {x}^{2} + 100[/tex]
Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation
[tex] {x}^{2} + 20x = 81 {x}^{2} [/tex]
Move x² to R.H.S and change its sign
[tex]20x = 81 {x}^{2} - {x}^{2} [/tex]
Calculate
[tex]20x = 80 {x}^{2} [/tex]
Swap both sides of the equation and cancel both on both sides
[tex]80x = 20[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 80
[tex] \frac{80x}{80} = \frac{20}{80} [/tex]
Calculate
[tex]x = \frac{20}{80} [/tex]
Reduce the numbers with 20
[tex]x = \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
The value of X is [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
Now, let's replace the value of x to find the approximate value of hypotenuse
Hypotenuse = [tex] \frac{1}{4} + 10[/tex]
Write all numerators above the common denominator
[tex] \frac{1 + 40}{4} [/tex]
Add the numbers
[tex] \frac{41}{4} [/tex]

The letters "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", and "F" are written on six slips of paper, and the slips are placed into a hat. If the slips are drawn randomly without replacement, what is the probability that "E" is drawn first and "B" is drawn second?
Answer:
1/30
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of getting ”E” is 1/6.
There is only 1 “E” out of 6 letters.
There is no replacement.
There are now 5 letters without “E”.
”A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “F”
The probability of getting ”B” is 1/5.
There is only 1 “B” out of 5 letters.
⇒ 1/6 × 1/5
⇒ 1/30

B. μ = 3.50
C. μ = 3.60
D. μ = 3.40
Answer:
C. μ = 3.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Two tables have been attached to this response.
One of the tables contains the given data and distribution with two columns: Houses Sold and Probability
The other table contains the analysis of the data with additional columns: Frequency and Fx
=> The Frequency(F) column is derived from the product of the probability of each item in the Houses sold column and the total number of houses sold (which is 28). For example,
When the number of houses sold = 0
F = P(0) x Total number of houses sold
F = 0.24 x 28 = 6.72
When the number of houses sold = 1
F = P(1) x Total number of houses sold
F = 0.01 x 28 = 0.28
=> The Fx column is found by multiplying the Frequency column by the Houses Sold column. For example,
When the number of houses sold = 0
Fx = F * x
F = 6.72 x 0 = 0
Now to get the mean, μ we use the relation;
μ = ∑Fx / ∑F
Where;
∑Fx = summation of the items in the Fx column = 100.8
∑F = summation of the items in the Frequency column = 28
μ = 100.8 / 28
μ = 3.60
Therefore, the mean of the given probability distribution is 3.60
The mean of the discrete probability distribution is given by:
C. μ = 3.60
What is the mean of a discrete distribution?The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability.
In this problem, the table x - P(x) gives each outcome and their respective probabilities, hence, the mean is:
[tex]E(X) = 0(0.24) + 1(0.01) + 2(0.12) + 3(0.16) + 4(0.01) + 5(0.14) + 6(0.11) + 7(0.21) = 3.6[/tex]
Hence option C is correct.
