Answer: C. Significant at 0.036

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total samples selected Ns= 500

Airplanes that arrived on time Na = 482.

Airplanes that arrived late Nl = 500 - 482 = 18

Calculating the probability of an airplane arriving late:

P(L) = Nl/Ns

P(L) = 18/500

P(L) = 0.036

An event is deemed significant if its probability is equal to or less than 0.05.

As P(L) < 0.05

P(L) = Significant at 0.036

Solve the following quadratic equations by extracting square roots.Answer the questions that follow.
babunello [11817]

Answer:

1. x=±4

2. t=±9

3. r=±10

4. x=±12

5. s=±5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x^2 = 16

By extracting the square root on both sides

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(4)^2}\\

x=±4

2. t^2=81

Again, take the square root of each side

\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{81}\\\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{(9)^2}

t=±9

3. r^2-100=0

r^{2}-100=0\\r^2 =100\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{100}\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{(10)^2}

r=±10

4. x²-144=0

We rewrite as x²=144

Applying square roots

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{144}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(12)^2}

x=±12

5. 2s²=50

\frac{2s^2}{2} =\frac{50}{2}\\s^2=25\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{25}\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{(5)^2}

s=±5 ..

Eric is studying people's typing habits. He surveyed 525 people and asked whether they leave one space or two spaces after a per
lawyer [12517]

Response: (0.8115, 0.8645)

Step-by-step outline:

Define p as the proportion of individuals who leave one space after a sentence.

Provided: Sample size: n= 525

Number of respondents indicating they leave one space: 440

Thus, the sample proportion is: \hat{p}=\dfrac{440}{525}\approx0.838

The z-score for a 90% confidence interval is: 1.645

The formula for determining the confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

0.838\pm (1.645)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.838(1-0.838)}{525}}\\\\=0.838\pm (1.645)\sqrt{0.00025858285}\\\\=0.838\pm (1.645)(0.01608)\\\\= 0.838\pm0.0265\\\\=(0.838-0.0265,\ 0.838+0.0265)\\\\=(0.8115,\ 0.8645)

Consequently, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of people who leave one space after a period is: (0.8115, 0.8645)

As part of Kayla's exercise program, she either runs 6 miles/day or rides her bike 10 miles/day. Her new goal is to cover a mini
lawyer [12517]
To find out the number of days, we should create equations based on the values provided. The total distance Kayla aims to travel combines both her running distance and her biking distance.

200 miles = (6 miles/day)x + (10 miles/day)y

where x signifies the days she spent running and y represents the days bike riding.

If the minimum biking days are set to be 15, indicated by y = 15, we have:

200 miles = (6 miles/day)x + (10 miles/day)(15 days)

Solving for x gives:
200 = 6x + 150
50 = 6x
x = 8.3333 days

Total days = 15 days biking + 8.3333 days running = 23.3333 days, approximately making it 24 days.

The expression 17n+11 represents the perimeter of a triangle. The other two sides measure 4n+5 and 5n+6. A simplified expression
Zina [12379]

Response: 8n

==========================================================

Clarification:

The two sides, 4n+5 and 5n+6, comprise terms 4n and 5n which total to 9n. We require 8n to add to this to achieve 17n. In simpler terms, 4n + 5n + 8n = 9n + 8n = 17n

That is the reason why the outcome is 8n. There are no additional terms because the "+5" and "+6" in the two given expressions (4n+5 and 5n+6) sum to 5+6 = 11, matching what we aim for in the perimeter expression 17n + 11

Side 1 = 4n + 5

Side 2 = 5n + 6

Side 3 = 8n

Perimeter = (side1) + (side2) + (side3)

Perimeter = (4n + 5) + (5n + 6) + (8n)

Perimeter = 4n + 5 + 5n + 6 + 8n

Perimeter = (4n + 5n + 8n) + (5 + 6)

Perimeter = 17n + 11

So this confirms we possess the correct expression for the third side that is missing.
