an independent group of food service personnel conducted a survey on tipping practices in a large metropolitan area. they collected information on the percentage of the bill left as a tip for 3535 randomly selected bills. the average tip was 12.7.7% of the bill with a standard deviation of 2.8%2.8%. assume that the tips are approximately normally distributed. construct an interval to estimate the true average tip (as a percent of the bill) with 99% confidence. round the endpoints to two decimal places, if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

The interval to find the true average tip is  (14.62,13.78).

Average is a number that is calculated by adding quantities together and dividing the total by the number of quantities.

The Standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range

Given:

We know that the confidence interval = sample mean ± standard deviation substitute the values in it then confidence interval = 14.2  ±2.5/(35)^1/2

confidence interval = 14.2 ± 2.5/5.91

confidence interval = 14.2 ± 0.42

confidence interval = 14.2 + 0.42 ,

confidence interval = 14.2 - 0.42

confidence interval = (14.62,13.78)

So, an interval to estimate the true average tip is  (14.62,13.78).

How to find the gradient of the straight lines? I don’t want direct answer, I want explanation please. I’m confused how can I find the x and y axis

Answers

Answer:

Question 27

[tex]\textsf{(a)} \quad -\dfrac{6}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{(b)} \quad \dfrac{1}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{(c)} \quad \dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

Question 28

[tex]\textsf{(a)} \quad \dfrac{6}{0}=\textsf{und\:\!efined}=\textsf{no gradient}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{(b)} \quad -\dfrac{3}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{(c)} \quad \dfrac{3}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of a straight line can be found by dividing the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x-coordinates between two points on the line.

A positive gradient slopes up from left to right.

A negative gradient slopes down from left to right.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{4.3cm}\underline{Gradient Formula}\\\\$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$\\\\where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ \\are two points on the line.\end{minipage}}[/tex]

We can use the formula to find the gradients, or we can simply calculate the change in y and change in x by looking at the graph.

Example:

If we take line (a) from question 27 as an example.

The change in y from the beginning to the end of the line is 6 units.The change in x from the beginning to the end of the line is 5 units.The line slopes down, so the gradient is negative.

Therefore, the gradient is -6/5.

Using the gradient formula, define two points on the line:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (0, 6)Let (x₂, y₂) = (5, 0)

Input the points into the formula:

[tex]\textsf{Gradient}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{0-6}{5-0}=-\dfrac{6}{5}[/tex]

Solutions

Question 27

(a)  The gradient is -6/5, as calculated above.

(b)  The change in y is 1 unit and the change in x is 10 units. The line slopes up so the gradient is positive.  Therefore, the gradient is 1/10.

(c)  The change in y is 4 units and the change in x is 5 units. The line slopes up so the gradient is positive.  Therefore, the gradient is 4/5.

Question 28

(a)  The change in y is 6 units and the change in x is 0 units. Therefore, the gradient is undefined since anything divided by 0 is undefined.  Therefore, this line has no gradient.

(b)  The change in y is 3 units and the change in x is 10 units. The line slopes down so the gradient is negative.  Therefore, the gradient is -3/10.

(c)  The change in y is 3 units and the change in x is 10 units. The line slopes up so the gradient is positive.  Therefore, the gradient is 3/10.

Attachment

I have marked the change in y (green) and the change in x (blue) for line (c) on both graphs.

in a chemistry class, 8 liters of a 4% acid solution must be mixed with a 10% acid solution to get a 6% acid solution. how many liters of the 10% acid solution are needed?

Answers

There are 4 liters of solution are needed for the 10% acid solution.

Unitary method:

Unitary method is the way to find the value of a single unit and then multiply the value of a single unit to the number of units to get the necessary value.

Given,

In a chemistry class, 8 liters of a 4% acid solution must be mixed with a 10% acid solution to get a 6% acid solution.

Here we need to find how many liters of the 10% acid solution are needed.

First, we have to convert the percentage into decimal,

4% = 4/100 = 0.04

10% = 10/100 = 0.10

6% = 6/100 = 0.06

Let x be the required liter of solution.

So, based in the given details,

We have to write the equation as,

=> 0.04*8 + 0.10x = 0.06(8+x)

=> 0.32 + 0.10x = 0.48 + 0.06x

=> 0.10x - 0.06x = 0.48 - 0.32

=> 0.04x = 0.16

=> x = 0.16/0.04

=> x = 4

x = 4 liters of 10% solution is used.

Calculating the amount he could not pay, we have:

Amount to pay= Total balance - minimum paid

Amount to pay= $732 - $75

Amount to pay= $657

Calculating the final balance he will pay:

Final balance = Amount to pay + (amount to pay * Charge fee/100)

Final balance = $657 + ($657 * 1.2/100)

Final balance = $657 + ($657 * 0.012)

M is the midpoint of segment JK. The coordinate of J are (-4, 7) and the coordinates of M are (2, 5). Find the coordinates of K.

Answers

The coordinates of K are (8,3).

There is a line segment JK with M as its midpoint. This means the length of JM = length of MK.

Also the coordinates of J is (-4,7) and the coordinates for M are (2,5).

As M is the midpoint, the x-distance and y-distance between (-4,7) and (2,5) are same as that between (2,5) and K.

x- distance between (-4,7) and (2,5) = 2- (-4) = 6

So x- coordinate of K = 2+6 = 8

y-distance between (-4,7) and (2,5) = 5-7 = -2

So y-coordinate of K = 5+(-2) = 3

Answers

Answer:

24 books can fit on 1 shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question: Juan has 28 paperback books that measure 1 and 1/4 inches each. How many books will fit on one shelf if each shelf measures 30 inches?

Step-by-step:

We know that each book is 1 and 1/4 inches each. It might be easier to convert the fraction into a decimal.

1/4 inches is 1 divided by 4 which equals to 0.25 inches

1 inch + 0.25 inches = 1.25 inches

so, 1 and 1/4 inches = 1.25 inches

To find out how many books fit on a shelf, we need to find: length of 1 bookshelf divided by length of 1 book

We know that one bookshelf is 30 inches and 1 book is 1.25 inches

so, 30/1.25 or 30 divided by 1.25 = 24

Therefore, 24 books can fit on 1 shelf.

Your friend and your cousin discuss measuring with a ruler. Your friend says that you must always line up objects at the zero on a ruler. Your cousin says it does not matter. Who is correct, and why?

friend; A measurement always starts with a value of zero.


friend; A ruler does not match numbers one to one unless the measurement starts at zero.

cousin; you can choose any number for the start of the object and any number for the end.


cousin; The distance is the absolute value of the difference of the numbers lined up with the beginning and the end of the object.

Answers

The correct option is the last one:

"Cousin; The distance is the absolute value of the difference of the numbers lined up with the beginning and the end of the object."

Who is correct, your friend or your cousin?

Now, remember that a rule is equivalent to a number line.

Now, suppose that you are measuring an element with a length of 16 centimeters.

If you measure it by lining up one of the ends of the element with the zero, then the other end will be at the line number 16.

And if you line it up from a different number, let's say 3cm, then the other end of the object (which still measures 16cm) will be at 19cm.

In both cases, to find the measure of the object that you are measuring with the ruler, you need to find the difference between the two numbers on the ruler that line up with the object ends.

If you line up with the zero, you need to subtract zero, so the measure is easier:

16cm - 0cm = 16cm

If you line up with other number, like the 3 in this case, you need to perform the subtraction:

19cm - 3cm = 16cm

In both cases, we will get the same measure. So your cousin is correct, and the correct option is the last one:

Cousin; The distance is the absolute value of the difference of the numbers lined up with the beginning and the end of the object.
