Regular consumption of presweetened cereals contributes to tooth decay, heart disease, and other degenerative diseases, according to studies conducted by Dr. W. H. Bowen of the National Institute of Health and Dr. J. Yudben, Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of London. In a random sample consisting of 20 similar single servings of Alpha-Bits, the average sugar content was 11.3 grams with a standard deviation of 2.45 grams. Assuming that the sugar contents are normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean sugar content for single servings of Alpha-Bits.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the t-distribution, the 95% confidence interval for the mean sugar content for single servings of Alpha-Bits is (10.15, 12.45).

In this problem, we have that:

Sample of 20, thus [tex]n = 20[/tex].Sample mean of 11.3 grams, thus [tex]\overline{x} = 11.3[/tex].Sample standard deviation of 2.45 grams, thus [tex]s = 2.45[/tex].

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

First, we find the number of degrees of freedom, which is one less than the sample size, thus df = 19.

Now, we have to find the critical value for a 95% confidence interval with 19 df, thus, looking at the t-table or using a calculator, t = 2.093.

Then:

[tex]\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 11.3 - 2.093\frac{2.45}{\sqrt{20}} = 10.15[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 11.3 + 2.093\frac{2.45}{\sqrt{20}} = 12.45[/tex]

The interval is (10.15, 12.45).

You rotate triangle DEF with coordinates D(-2, 2), E (1,5), and F(4, -1) 90° counterclockwise about the origin.​

Answers

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotating triangle DEF counterclockwise by 90° about the origin using the rule (x,y) becomes (-y,x) results in new vertices D'(-2, -2), E'(-5, 1), and F'(1, 4).

When rotating triangle DEF counter-clockwise by 90° about the origin using the rule D(x,y) becomes D'(-y,x), the new coordinates are as follows:

⇒ Vertex D(-2, 2) becomes D'(-2, -2),

Vertex E(1, 5) becomes E'(-5, 1),

⇒ Vertex F(4, -1) becomes F'(1, 4),

This rule swaps the "x" and "y" coordinates while negating one of them, effectively rotating the points 90° counterclockwise around the origin.

Therefore, the new vertices are D'(-2, -2), E'(-5, 1), and F'(1, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) shift left 4, shift up 3, with no compression or stretch.

k=3

The function f(x) after the transformation can be written as -

g(x) = [tex]$\sqrt[3]{x-4} +3[/tex]

What is function?

A function is a relation between a dependent and independent variable. We can write the examples of function as -

y = f(x) = ax + b

y = f(x, y, z) = ax + by + cz

Given is that function g(x) is a transformation of the cube root parent function f(x) = [tex]$\sqrt[3]{x}[/tex].

The function f(x) is shifted up by three units and left by 4 units. So, we can write the rule for the function transformation as -

g(x) = [tex]$\sqrt[3]{x-4} +3[/tex]

Therefore, the function f(x) after the transformation can be written as -

g(x) = [tex]$\sqrt[3]{x-4} +3[/tex]

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

A. The minuend, subtrahend, and difference are parts of a subtraction problem. In the subtraction problem, - 31 - 71 = - 102, the number - 31 is the minuend, the number 71 is the subtrahend and the number - 102 is the difference.

B. When you are adding a negative number to a positive number you are effectively subtracting the second number from the first. ... And then you add the negative number, which means you are moving to the left – in the negative direction.

A motorboat takes 4 hours to travel 192 kilometers going upstream.

The return trip takes 3 hours going downstream.

- What is the rate of the boat in still water?
- What is the rate of the current?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let b be boat velocity

let c be current velocity

(b - c)4 = 192

(b + c)3 = 192

(b - c)4 = (b + c)3

4b - 4c = 3b + 3c

        b = 7c

(7c - c)4 = 192

    (6c)4 = 192

      24c = 192

          c = 8 km/hr

b = 7(8) = 56 km/hr

In year, 2004, I put $20.00 into an account to save. This account annual interest fee is 0.002%. However, every 10th year the interest rate get doubled and is now 0.004%. After, the 10th year it goes back to the original interest rate of 0.002% annually. If I check the amount I know have in total included my principal of $20.00, in the year of 2021. What would the total amount be of putting it there

Answers

Answer:

  $20.01

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2004–2012, the interest rate is 0.002%. In 2013, it is 0.004%. In 2014–2021, the interest rate is 0.002%. That is, in the 18 years between 2004 and 2021 (inclusive), the interest rate is 0.002% for 17 of them. The effective account multiplier is ...

  (1.00002^17)(1.00004^1) = 1.00038006801

Then the account balance is ...

  $20 × 1.00038006801 ≈ $20.01

_____

Additional comment

The annual interest earned on $20.00 is $0.0004. If the account balance is rounded to the nearest cent annually, at the end of the 18 years, the balance will still be $20.00. Not enough interest is earned in one year to increase the balance above $20. At the end of the 18 years, the amount of interest earned is 0.76¢ (a fraction of a penny) only if there is no rounding in intervening years.
