SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 82% confidence interval to 25 points, how many students should the administrator sample

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "259".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

[tex]\sigma = 300[/tex]

[tex]M.E=25[/tex]

At 82% CI,

[tex]\alpha = 0.18[/tex]

Critical value,

[tex]Z_c=1.341[/tex]

Now,

The sample size will be:

⇒ [tex]n=(Z_c\times \frac{\sigma}{E} )^2[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

      [tex]=(1.341\times \frac{300}{25} )^2[/tex]

      [tex]=(1.341\times 12)^2[/tex]

      [tex]=259[/tex]

At a concession stand; three hot dogs and two hamburgers cost $9.75; two hot dogs and three hamburgers cost $10.25. Find the cost of one hot dog and the cost of one hamburger.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

hot dog: $1.75hamburger: $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the cost of a hot dog and a hamburger, respectively. The the two purchases can be described by ...

  3x +2y -9.75 = 0

  2x +3y -10.25 = 0

We can list the coefficients of these general-form equations in 2 rows, listing the first one again at the end:

  3, 2, -9.75, 3

  2, 3, -10.25, 2

Now, we can form differences of cross-products in adjacent pairs of columns:

  d1 = (3)(3) -(2)(2) = 9 -4 = 5

  d2 = (2)(-10.25) -(3)(-9.75) = -20.50 +29.25 = 8.75

  d3 = (-9.75)(2) -(-10.25)(3) = -19.50 +30.75 = 11.25

Then the solutions are found from ...

  1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3

  x = d2/d1 = 8.75/5 = 1.75

  y = d3/d1 = 11.25/5 = 2.25

The cost of one hot dog is $1.75; the cost of one hamburger is $2.25.

The price multiplier for the first discount is (1 -55%) = 0.45.

The price multiplier for the second discount is (1 -40%) = 0.60.

Then the price multiplier for the two discounts together is ...

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle at E is (180-2x). The interior angle at F is (180-4x). The sum of the interior angles of the triangle is 180, so we have ...

  (180 -2x) +x +(180 -4x) = 180

  180 = 5x . . . . . . add 5x-180 to both sides

This value of x makes the exterior angles at E and F be 72° and 144°, respectively. The internal angles at E, F, G are then 108°, 36°, 36°, making the triangle isosceles with EF = EG.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Population mean \mu=91

Sample Mean \=x =2.08

Standard Deviation \sigma=10

Sample size n=68

Generally the Probability that The  sample mean  would differ from the population mean

P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)

From Table

[tex]P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)=P(|z|<1.72)[/tex]

T Test

[tex]Z=\frac{\=x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z=\frac{2.08}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{68} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z=1.72[/tex]

[tex]P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)=P(|z|<1.72)[/tex]

f(x) = 2x3 + 7x2 - 28x + 12
Arrange your answers from smallest to largest. If
there is a double root, list it twice.

Plz help!

Answers

Answer:

The zeroes are -6, 1/2 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x3 + 7x2 - 28x + 12 = 0

From the first and last coefficient 2 and 12, one guess for a zero is x = 2.

So substituting x = 2:

f(2) = 16+ 28 - 56 + 12 = 0

So x = 2 is a zero and x - 2 is a factor of f(x)

Performing long division:

x - 2)2x3 + 7x2 - 28x + 12( 2x2 + 11x - 6 <------- Quotient

       2x3  - 4x2

                 11x2 - 28x

                 11x2 - 22x

                          - 6x + 12

                           -6x + 12

                            .............

Now we solve

2x2 + 11x - 6 = 0

(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0

2x - 1 = 0 or x + 6 = 0, so:

x = 1/2,  x = -6.

Answer: -6, 1/2, 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

{(x) = 2x3 + 7x2 - 28x + 12 = 0

From the first and last coefficient 2 and 12, one

guess for a zero is x=2.

So substituting x=2:

{(2) = 16+ 28 - 56 + 12 = 0

So x = 2 is a zero and x - 2 is a factor of f(x)

Performing long division:

X - 2)2x3 + 7x2 - 28x + 12(2x2 + 11x - 6 <
