Answer:

Sample mean = 7.1

Margin of error = 0.465

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for confidence interval is;

CI = x¯ ± zE

Where;

x¯ is sample mean

z is critical value at confidence level

E is margin of error.

z for 99% Cl is 2.58

We are told the CI is 5.9 to 8.3.

Thus;

5.9 = x¯ - 2.58E - - - - (1)

8.3 = x¯ + 2.58E - - - - (2)

Add both equations together to get;

14.2 = 2x¯

x¯ = 14.2/2

x¯ = 7.1

Put 7.1 for x¯ in eq 1 to get;

5.9 = 7.1 - 2.58E

7.1 - 5.9 = 2.58E

E = 1.2/2.58

E = 0.465

Find the area of this shape. Correct answer will Brainliest

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

As shown in picture, this is a trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is calculated by:

A = (base1 + base2) x height x (1/2)

To work out A, we need to find out base1, base2, and height.

base1 = YZ = $\sqrt{(Zx - Yx)^{2} + (Zy - Yy)^{2} } = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^{2} + (5 - 5)^{2} } = 3$

base2 = XW = $\sqrt{(Wx - Xx)^{2} + (Wy - Xy)^{2} } = \sqrt{(8 - 1)^{2} + (1 - 1)^{2} } = 7$

Otherwise, the height (distance between base1 and base2) is 4 as shown in picture.

=> A = (3 + 7) x 4 x (1/2) = 20

Hope this helps!

Draw a picture first, then use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve. Round

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

your answer would be 9.4

Step-by-step explanation:

you'd have to plug in the numbers in the equation.

8^2 + 5^2 = c^2

64 + 25 = c^2

89 = c^2 then you'd do the square root of 89 which will give you 9.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Help Find the lateral area of this pyramid whose base is an equilateral triangle. Its slant height is 14 ft and the length of ea

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

168 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the lateral area of a square pyramid is LA = (Pl/2)

Plug in the values LA = (24(14)) / 2

LA = 336/2

LA = 168 ft²

Option 2: $\frac{x-12}{4}$ is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given fraction is:

$\frac{2x-24}{8}$

In order to simplify, we can see that the function is already in compact form

So,

We can simplify the given fraction.

We can see that the numerator can be further simplified

$\frac{2(x-12)}{8}\\=\frac{x-12}{4}$

Hence,

Option 2: $\frac{x-12}{4}$ is the correct answer
