A sample of students that had stuffy or runny noses were blindly given a single Skittles candy to put in their mouth. They were told the five possible flavors and then were asked which flavor they had. Of the 118 students tested, 44 gave the correct answer. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all students with stuffy or runny noses that could correctly identify a Skittles flavor blindly.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The confidence interval is  [tex]0.2857<  p <  0.4601[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n  =  118  

   The  number that gave the correct answer is  k =  44

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\^ p = \frac{44}{118}[/tex]

=>     [tex]\^ p =0.3729[/tex]

Generally given that the confidence level is  95% the level of significance is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\alpha = (100 -95) \%[/tex]

=>     [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]E =  1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{0.3729(1 - 0.3729)}{118} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]E = 0.0872 [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

             [tex]\r p -E <  p <  \r p +E[/tex]

=>    [tex]0.3729 -0.0872<  p <  0.3729 +0.0872[/tex]

=>  [tex]0.2857<  p <  0.4601[/tex]

A satellite 200 miles above the earth is orbiting the earth once every 6 hours. How far does the satellite travel in 1 hour?
(Assume the radius of the earth is 4,000 miles.) Give your answer as both an exact value and an approximation to three significant digits

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken to cover distance.

The radius of the orbit = radius of earth + height of satellite from earth = 4000 miles + 200 miles = 4200 miles

The total distance around the orbit = perimeter of orbit = 2π(radius of orbit) = 2π(4200) = 8400π miles

[tex]Speed=\frac{distance \ traveled}{time\ taken} =\frac{8400\pi\ miles}{6\ hours} =1400\pi\ miles/hour\\\\Distance \ traveled\ in \ 1\ hour=1400\pi\ miles/hour*1\ hour=1400\pi\ miles=4398.23\ miles\\\\Distance=4398\ miles[/tex]

Find the distance between Rockville and San Jose if they are in apart on a map with a scale of 2in:
25 mi

Answers

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Rockville and San Jose is 2407.2. Since there are 63360 inches in a mile, we divide it by 2, which is 31680. We multiply 2407.2 by 31680, and get 76260096.

Answers

Answer:

A. [tex]Ratio = 3:1[/tex]

B. [tex]Ratio= 9:3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Ratio= 27:9[/tex]

Required

Determine equivalent ratios:

[tex]Ratio= 27:9[/tex]

First, we simplify the ratio to the least possible

[tex]Ratio = 27/9:9/9[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 3:1[/tex]

By comparison with the given options, we have A and B as answer.

See Proof Below

Proof: A

Compare this to the simplified ratio (given), we have:

[tex]Ratio = 3:1[/tex] = [tex]Ratio = 3:1[/tex]

Proof B

[tex]Ratio= 9:3[/tex]

Simplify the ratio to the least possible

[tex]Ratio= 9/3:3/3[/tex]

[tex]Ratio= 3:1[/tex]

Compare this to the simplified ratio (given), we have:

[tex]Ratio = 3:1[/tex] = [tex]Ratio = 3:1[/tex]

Sophia's building a skateboard ramp how many 2/5 ft long pieces can she cut from a 4 ft piece of wood what is the division expression
A. 1/4 divided by 2/5
B. 2/5 / 1/4
C. 2/5 / 4
D. 4 / 2/5​

Answers

Answer:

D. 4/(2/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if the wood was 8ft long, and was cut into 4 foot long segments, you would divide 8 by 4 to get 2, which is the logical answer. Use the same thinking here. In other words, divide the large piece into smaller pieces.

For this one, divide 4 (large) by 2/5 (small).

If simplification is needed you can make 10 pieces.

-A clock's battery is running low. Every 6 hours, its slows down by 1/2 hour. By how much did it slow
down in 1 hour?

Answers

Hi!

If its running low and every six hours it slows down half an hour, we need to divide 6  from 1/2 (or in another form if you have a regular calculator, 0.5).

6 divided by 1/2 is 12 (or , in decimal form).

So your answer would be: It will slow down 12 minutes every hour.

Point A is located at negative 6 over 8 and point B is located at negative 1 over 8. What is the distance between points A and B? negative 6 over 8 plus negative 1 over 8 = negative 7 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 7 over 8 equals negative 7 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 plus negative 1 over 8 = negative 7 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 7 over 8 equals 7 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals negative 5 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals 5 over 8 units

Answers

Given:

Point A is located at [tex]-\dfrac{6}{8}[/tex].

Point B is located at [tex]-\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex].

To find:

The distance between points A and B.

Solution:

We know that,

Distance between points A and B = Location of A - Location of B

Using this given values, we get

Distance between points A and B [tex]=-\dfrac{6}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{8}\right)[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=-\dfrac{6}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=\dfrac{-6+1}{8}[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=-\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

Distance cannot be negative. So, we need to find the absolute value of [tex]-\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex].

[tex]|-\dfrac{5}{8}|=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

The distance between A and B is [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex].

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Determine if the sequence 2​, ​8, ​17, ​29, ... is arithmetic. If it​ is, determine the first term a and the common difference d.Is the sequence ​2, 8​, ​17, 29​, ...​ arithmetic?

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with 2, the step to the next number is 6.  Each step increases by 3.

When you are on 8, the next step is an increase of 9.  The next step is an increase of 12,  The next step not shown would increase by 15 for give you 44.

So the first step would be 3 below the number 6 which would be subtracted from 2 to give you - 1 as your first starting point.

The common difference is 3(n) where n is an integer starting with 0 and incrementing by 1 with each new Y2 and Y1 is  -1.

The equation Y2 = 3(n+1) + Y1    where n=0

Robinson's Doughnut Factory produces 21,600 doughnuts every day. They

have a fleet of 9 delivery trucks. If the doughnuts are divided evenly, how

many doughnuts will be loaded onto each truck?

Answers

Answer:

2400 doughnuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Robinson's Doughnut Factory produces 21,600 doughnuts every day.

No. of delivery trucks = 9

We need to find the no of doughnuts will be loaded onto each truck. Let there are n doughnuts. It can be calculated by dividing 21,600 by 9.

So,

[tex]n=\dfrac{21600}{9}\\\\n=2400[/tex]

So, there are 2400 doughnuts that will be loaded onto each truck.

if angle 4 equals 50 degrees find the measure of angle 5 will mark brainiest​

Answers

Answer:

∠5 = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

its alternate internal angles:

∠4 ≅ ∠5 (angle 4 is congruent or equal to alternate internal angle)

therefore,

∠5 = 50°

The measure of angle 5 should be considered as the 50 degrees when angle 4 should be equivalent to 50 degrees.

What is alternate internal angles?

Alternate interior angles should be created via intersecting the 2 parallel lines in a transversal way. It should be located that lies between the two parallel lines.

Since the given diagram shows the alternate internal angles

Since angle 4 is 50

So angle 4 should be congruent or equivalent to alternate internal angle)
