The U.S. Energy Information Administration (US EIA) reported that the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is $2.94. The US EIA updates its estimates of average gas prices on a weekly basis. Assume the standard deviation is $0.20 for the price of a gallon of regular gasoline and recommend the appropriate sample size for the US EIA to use if they wish to report each of the following margins of error at 95% confidence. (Round your answers up to the nearest whole number.) (a) The desired margin of error is $0.10. 16 Changed: Your submitted answer was incorrect. Your current answer has not been submitted. (b) The desired margin of error is $0.06. 43 Correct: Your answer is correct. (c) The desired margin of error is $0.04.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "16, 43, and 96".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\sigma = 0.20\\\\c = 95\% = 0.95\\\\\therefore \alpha = 1- c = 1- 0.95 = 0.05\\\\\therefore \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.025\\\\[/tex]

Using Z table:

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

For point a:

[tex]E = 0.10\\\\n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \sigma}}{E})^2[/tex]

    [tex]= (\frac{(1.96\times 0.20)}{0.10})^2\\\\= 15.3664 \approx 16[/tex]

so, The Sample size (n) = 16

For point b:

[tex]E = 0.06\\\\n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \sigma}}{E})^2[/tex]

   [tex]= (\frac{(1.96\times 0.20)}{0.06})^2\\\\= 42.6844444444\approx 43[/tex]

For point c:

[tex]E = 0.04\\\\n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \sigma}}{E})^2[/tex]

    [tex]= (\frac{(1.96\times 0.20)}{0.04})^2\\\\= 96.04\approx 96[/tex]

09.03 MC) What is the domain of the following parabola? (5 points) u-shaped graph that opens down with a vertex of 2, 3 Select one: a. x ≥ 2 b. x ≤ −1 c. y ≤ 3 d. All real numbers

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is d: All real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function f(x), the domain is the set of all the possible values of x that we can input in that function.

A general way to find the domain of a function is:

First, assume that the domain is the set of all real numbers.

Then, look at restrictions implied:

like in functions like:

f(x) = 4   if x > 3

Here the domain of the function is implied.

Third, let's find values of x that make "problems" with our function (for example, a zero in the denominator) and then remove these points from the domain.

In this case, we have a quadratic function:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

Here we do not have any problem (like a zero in a denominator), and we do not have any restrictions (We only know that the parabola is U shaped, so it is a function, and that its vertex is (2, 3) )

Then we can conclude that the domain of this function is the set of all real numbers.

The correct option is d: All real numbers.

Number 1 is wrong correct answer: 5/12

Solve the following using substitution method

Answers

Solution :

2a + 2b = 7    ...1)

4a + 3b = 12   ...2)

In equation, 1)

a = (7 - 2b)/2   ...3)

Putting value of a in equation 2) we get :

4 × (7 - 2b)/2  + 3b = 12

2( 7 - 2b ) + 3b = 12

14 - 4b + 3b = 12

b = 2

Putting value of b in 3) we get :

a = ( 7 - 2×2)/2

a = 3/2 = 1.5

Now,

2x - 3y = 16   ...5)

x + 2y = -6    ...6)

x = -6 - 2y

Putting above value of x in eq 5) , we get :

2( -6 - 2y ) - 3y = 16

-12 - 4y - 3y = 16

7y = -28

y = -4

x = -6 - ( 2× -4 )

x = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Absolute error = 0.6m

Percentage error = 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Actual height = 10.4 m

Estimated height = 11 m

Tbe percentage error :

The absolute error :

|Actual value - Estimated value|

|10.4 - 11| = 0.6 m

Percentage error :

|Actual value - Estimated value| / actual value * 100%

(0.6 / 10) * 100%

0.06 * 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that,

[tex] \displaystyle \rm Q _{ \text{standard}} :g(x) = {ax}^{2} + bx + c[/tex]

remember that,

Larger values of 'a' squash the curve inwardsSmaller values of 'a' expand it outwardsAnd negative values of 'a' flip it upside down

since the Parabola squashes inwards we assume a=4

we know that,

when c is positive the Parabola goes upwardswhen c is negative the parabola goes downwards

as the Parabola goes upwards by 2 units we assume c is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find meters in 1300 cm.

We know that,

1 m = 100 cm

1 cm = (1/100) m

It means,

[tex]1300\ cm=\dfrac{1300}{100}\ m\\\\=13\ m[/tex]

To which rational number to which rational subset(s) does the following number belong?
15
1. Rational Numbers
II. Natural Numbers
III. Whole Numbers
IV. Integers

Answers

Answer:

15 belongs to the set of natural numbers , whole numbers , integers & rational numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

TO FIND :-

those subsets to which 15 belongs

FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-

N = Set of all natural numbers

W = Set of all whole numbers

Z = Set of all integers

Q = Set of all rational numbers

It can be said that :-

N ⊂ W (∵ Whole numbers include all natural numbers along with 0)W ⊂ Z (∵ Integers include positive numbers i.e. whole numbers along with negative numbers.)Z ⊂ Q (∵ Rational numbers include all integers along with fractions.)

Hence , N ⊂ W ⊂ Z ⊂ Q

SOLUTION :-

Method 1 -

{15} ⊂ N (∵ 15 is an element of set N. {15} a singleton set & it can be called as the subset of N )

⇒ {15} ⊂ N ⊂ W ⊂ Z ⊂ Q

∴ 15 belongs to the set of natural numbers , whole numbers , integers & rational numbers too.

Method 2 -

A rational number is a number which can be expressed in "p/q" form where p,q are integers & q ≠ 0. 15 can also be expressed as [tex]\frac{15}{1}[/tex]. Hence, 15 is a rational number i.e. it belongs to the set of rational numbers.Natural numbers are the countable numbers. 15 is a countable number. So , 15 is a natural number i.e. 15 belongs to the set of natural numbersWhole numbers include all natural numbers as well as zero. 15 is a natural number. So , 15 is also a whole number i.e. 15 belongs to the set of whole numbers.Integers include the negative numbers as well as whole numbers. 15 is a whole number. So , 15 is also an integer i.e. 15 belongs to the set of all integers.

Marisol:

The formula for a triangle is 1/2bh

The base is 3 the height is 4

3 times 4 is 12

12 divided by 2 is 6

Since there are two of the same triangle on the edge both of the triangle's area is 6 which is 12

No for the upper triangle, the base is 6 and the height is 4

4 times 6 is 24

24 divided by 2 is 12
