Porcupines can cause damage to wood structures by chewing them. Researchers studied a liquid repellent designed to reduce such damage. A sample of 20 wooden blocks of the same size were treated with the
repellent and left outside in an area where porcupines are known to live. After a certain amount of time, the
blocks were inspected for the number of porcupine teeth marks visible. The data were used to create the
95 percent confidence interval (4.9,5.8).
Which of the following claims is supported by the interval?
A
The expected number of porcupine teeth marks on a wooden block treated with the
repellent is less than 5.
B
B
The expected number of porcupine teeth marks on a wooden block treated with the
repellent is 5.
с
The mean number of porcupine teeth marks on all wooden blocks treated with the
repellent is 6.
D
The mean number of porcupine teeth marks on all wooden blocks treated with the
repellent is greater than 6.
E
The mean number of porcupine teeth marks on all wooden blocks treated with the
repellent is less than 6.

The mean number of porcupine teeth marks on all wooden blocks treated with the repellent is less than 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
