A public health researcher wishes to study the dietary behavior of residents in Durham County. The researcher randomly contacts 35 county residents and collects data on their daily sugar intake and obtained a sample average of 37.4 grams sugar per day and a sample standard deviation of 4.2 grams per day. The researcher would like to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean daily sugar intake of residents in the county using the data. Which distribution should the researcher use when analyzing these data?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The researcher should use a t-distribution because they do not know the true standard deviation of daily sugar intake in Durham county

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

No of county residents contacted = 35

Sample average = 37.4grams

Standard deviation = 4.2.

Confidence interval.

From the given data above it is obvious that the research doesn’t know the true data for standard deviation of the daily intake of sugar in Durham. And as such the best distribution method that can be employed by the researcher to solve this problem would be the T-distribution.

8 + 2r = −10 what is r?

Answers

Answer:

r = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 8 from both sides to get 2r = -18. Divide by 2 on both sides to get r = -9.

Answer:

r=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:- Simplify both sides of the equation.

2r+8 = -10

Step 2:- For isolating the variable, subtract 8 from both sides.

2r+8-8 = -10-8

2r = -18

Step 3:- For isolating the variable, divide by 2 from both sides.

2r/2 =-18/2

r= -9

Angle TRS would be 180-45x as the angle lies on a straight line and we know angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees

Then I would add the three angles in the triangle and equate it to 180 degrees as angles in any triangle add up to 180 degrees

therefore:

(180-45x)+25x+(57+x)=180

180-45x+26x+57=180

237-19x= 180

237-180=19x

57=19x

57/19=x

3=x

x is correct as when we substitute it in the angles in the triangle, the interior angles for the triangle does add up to 180

Tomas works as an underwater photographer. He starts at a position that is 17 feet below sea level. He rises 9 feet, then descends 15 feet to take a photo of a coral reef. Enter an expression to find his position relative to sea level when he took the photo and then evaluate the expression.

Answers

Answer:

(-17 + 9) - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

I think of below sa level as negative numbers, so 17 feet below sea level is -17. Then when he rises 9 feet that would be - 17 + 9. When he decends 15 feet to take another picture thats - 15. Then when you thing of pemdas addition goes first, so i just put parentases around -17 + 9 to get the expression (-17 + 9) - 15

A conservative estimate of the number of stars in the universe is 6x10^22. The average human can see about 3,000 stars at night with his naked eye.About how many more times more stars are there in the universe compared to the stars human can actually see?

Answers

Answer:

2 × 10^19 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of stars in universe = 6x10^22

Number of stars eye can see = 3000

About how many more times more stars are there in the universe compared to the stars human can actually see?

Number of stars in universe / number of stars eye can see

= 6x10^22 / 3000

= 6 × 10^22 / 3 × 10^3

= 2 × 10^(22 - 3)

= 2 × 10^19 times

Number of stars in universe is 2 × 10^19 times more than that which the eyes can see

You had a lot of spare time this summer because of quarantine, so you and four family members took a 5-day white-water rafting and hiking trip. During your 5-day trip, 2 days were spent rafting. If the rafting trip covered a distance of 60 miles and you spent 8 hours rafting each day, how many miles did you raft each hour?

Answers

Answer:

3.75 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of days spent rafting = 2 days total distance covered during rafting = 60 miles

Time spent rafting per day = 8 hours

Number of miles raft per hour:

Total number of raft hours over the 2 days = (8 * 2) = 16 hours

Total raft distance over the 2 days = 60 miles

Raft miles per hour :

Total raft distance / total number of raft hours

60 miles / 16 hours

= 3.75 miles per hour

On Thursday a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 444 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold

Answers

Answer:

148 hamburgers sold

296 cheeseburgers sold

Step-by-step explanation:

x  = number of hamburgers sold

2x = number of cheeseburgers sold

444 = total burgers sold

hamburgers + cheeseburgers = total burgers sold

x + 2x = 444

3x = 444

3x/3 = 444/3

x = 148

Check:

148 + 2(148) = 444

148 + 296 = 444

444 = 444

Answer:

A'(-4, 8), B'(3, 6), C'(-6, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, rotation, dilation and translation.

If a point X(x, y) is reflected about the y = x line, the new location is X'(y, x)

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(8.-4), B(6,3), and C(-1.-6), if it is reflected about the y = x line, the new location is A'(-4, 8), B'(3, 6), C'(-6, -1)

Write a linear equation in slope intercept from that is perpendicular to x−3y=3 and passes through the point (5, −9).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-3x+6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let’s determine the slope of the original equation.

We have [tex]x-3y=3[/tex]

Subtract x from both sides and then divide both sides by -3. So:

[tex]-3y=-x+3\\y=\frac{1}{3}x-1[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of our original line is 1/3.

Remember that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

Therefore, the slope of our new perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of 1/3.

Thus, the slope of our new line will be -3. We flip the fraction and add a negative.

So, the slope of our new line is -3. We also know that it passes through the point (5, -9).

Now, we can use the point-slope form:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, substitute -3 for m and (5, -9) for (x₁, y₁). This yields:

[tex]y-(-9)=-3(x-5)[/tex]

We want our line in slope-intercept form. So, distribute the right:

[tex]y+9=-3x+15[/tex]

Subtract 9 from both sides. Therefore, our equation is:

[tex]y=-3x+6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To do that, we can set up an equation:

[tex]8x^2-800=0[/tex]

We can divide both sides by 8 to make it easier to solve:

[tex]x^2-100=0[/tex]

Now, isolate the x and take the square root of both sides:

[tex]x^2=100\\x=\pm10[/tex]

Therefore, the 2 zeroes of f(x) are -10 and 10.
