The Retail Advertising and Marketing Association would like to estimate the average amount of money that a person spends for Mother’s Day with a 99% confidence interval and a margin of error within plus or minus $12. Assuming the standard deviation for spending on Mother’s Day is $36, the required sample size is ________. a.) 60 b.)72 c.)97 d.)108

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of Error formula = z × s/√n

z = z score of confidence interval

We are given z score of 99% = 2.58

s = Standard deviation = $36

Margin of Error= ± 12

n= unknown

= 12 = 2.58 × 36/√n

12 × √n = 92.88

√n = 92.88/12

√n = 7.74

Square both sides

(√n)² = 7.74²

n = 59.9076

Approximately n ≈ 60

Therefore, the required sample size = 60

Find the center of this circle by completing the square. x^2+y^2-6x+8y+10=0
Show work

Answers

Answer:

Center: (3, - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start to solve this problem by converting this equation into standard form. In other words, by completing the square --- (1)

Subtract " 10 " from either side of the equation x² + y² - 6x + 8y + 10 = 0

x² + y² - 6x + 8y = - 10

Step 1: Complete the square for the expression " x² - 6x "

Using the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c we know that a = 1, b = - 6, c = 0. Assume that d = b / 2a. We have...

d = - 6 / 2(1) = - 6 / 2 = - 3

Now let's assume that e = c - (b²) / 4a...

e = 0 - (-6)² / 4(1) = 0 - 36 / 4 = 0 - 9 = 9 (Substitute values d and e)

(x - 3)² - 9

Step 2: Respectively we can complete the square for the remaining expression " y² + 8y "

Here a = 1, b = 8, c = 0

d = 8 / 2(1) = 8 / 2 = 4

e = 0 - (8)² / 4(1) = 0 - 64 / 4 = 0 - 16 = - 16 (Substitute values)

(y + 4)² - 16

This leaves us with the expression " (x - 3)² - 9 + (y + 4)² - 16 = - 10. " If we simplify this a bit further it leaves us with the following circle equation. Using this we can identify the center of the circle as well --- (2)

[tex]\mathrm{Standard}\:\mathrm{Circle}\:\mathrm{Equation} : (x - 3)^2 + (y +4)^2 = 15,\\\mathrm{General}\:\mathrm{Form} : (x - h)^2 + (y +k)^2 = r^2,\\\mathrm{Properties} : \mathrm{Center} = (3, - 4), \mathrm{Radius} = \sqrt{15}[/tex]

As you can see our center here is (3, - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A lumber company is making boards that are 2599.0 millimeters tall. If the boards are too long they must be trimmed, and if the boards are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 23 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2600.3 millimeters with a standard deviation of 13.0. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the boards are either too long or too short. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the boards are either too long or too short?

Answers

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to support  the claim that the boards are either too long or too short

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  population mean is [tex]\mu = 2599.0[/tex]

    The sample size is  [tex]n = 23[/tex]

     The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 2600.3 \ mm[/tex]

    The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 13.0[/tex]

     The  level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

     

The  null hypothesis  is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 2599.0[/tex]

  The  alternative  hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 2599.0[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

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

=>          [tex]t = \frac{ 2600.3 - 2599.0 }{ \frac{13}{ \sqrt{ 23} } }[/tex]

=>            [tex]t = 0.3689[/tex]

Now from the normal distribution table  the critical value  of  [tex]\alpha[/tex] is  

    [tex]Z_{\alpha } = 1.645[/tex]

Hence from the evaluated and obtained value we see that

    [tex]t < Z_{\alpha }[/tex]

Hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis  

  Thus we can conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to support  the claim that the boards are either too long or too short

The required magic square using the numbers 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, and 24 is   | 6   |   8    | 10 |

                  | 13  | 15    | 17  |

                  | 20 | 22   | 24 |.

What is a magic square?

A magic square is a square grid of numbers, typically integers, where the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal add up to the same constant value.

Here,
To create a magic square using the numbers 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, and 24, we can follow these steps,

Start by placing the number 15 in the center square of the grid.

Place the number 6 in one corner of the grid. We'll choose the top left corner for this example.

Place the number 24 in the opposite corner. We'll choose the bottom right corner for this example.

Place the remaining numbers in the empty squares of the grid, following these rules:

a. If a square is already occupied, move to the next square in the same direction.

b. If you reach the edge of the grid, wrap around to the other side.

c. If you reach a square that is diagonally adjacent to a previously filled square, move to the next empty square in a clockwise direction.

Using these rules, we can fill in the rest of the grid as follows:

| 6   |   8    | 10 |

| 13  | 15    | 17  |

| 20 | 22   | 24 |

Two angles are supplementary. All we know is that the smaller angle is 126 degrees fewer than the larger one. Find
the measure of the larger angle.

Answers

Answer:

Larger angle= 153°

Smaller angle= 27°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180°

Let the smaller angle= x

Let the larger angle= y

X+y= 180... equation one

Y-126= x..... equation two

(Y-126) +y = 180

2y= 180+126

2y= 306

And we want to evaluate it when y=2 and a=-6.

Substitute in these values:

[tex]=(-6)-6(2)[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]=(-6)-12[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]=-18[/tex]

Answer:

-18

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

[tex]a-6y[/tex]

and asked to evaluate when a= -6 and y=2.

Therefore, we must substitute -6 in for a and 2 in for y.

[tex]a-6y , a=-6, y=2[/tex]

[tex](-6)-6(2)[/tex]

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

Which algebraic expression is a polynomial

Answers

Polynomials in one variable are algebraic expressions that consist of terms in the form axn a x n where n is a non-negative (i.e. positive or zero) integer and a is a real number and is called the coefficient of the term. The degree of a polynomial in one variable is the largest exponent in the polynomial.
In mathematics, an algebraic expression is an expression built up from integer constants, variables, and the algebraic operations. For example, 3x² − 2xy + c is an algebraic expression. Since taking the square root is the same as raising to the power, is also an algebraic expression.

Solve the following System of Three Equations: x−3y+z=−15
2x+y−z=−2
x+y+2z=1

Answers

Answer:

x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for z:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Solve for z.

Subtract x - 3 y from both sides:

{z = 3 y + (-x - 15)

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute z = -15 - x + 3 y into the second and third equations:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1.

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = x + y + (-30 - 2 x + 6 y) = -30 - x + 7 y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 15 - 2 y from both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

3 x = 2 y - 17

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 3:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3 into the third equation:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the third equation, look to solve for y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Add 73/3 to both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 = 76/3

Hint: | Solve for y.

Multiply both sides by 3/19:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 4 into the first and second equations:

{z = -x - 3

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -3 into the first equation:

{z = 0

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Sort results.

51.75−1.25x=4

Subtract 51.75 from both sides.

−1.25x=4−51.75

Subtract 51.75 from 4 to get −47.75.

−1.25x=−47.75

Divide both sides by −1.25.

x=−1.25−47.75​

Expand −1.25−47.75​≈38.2 by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
