The mileage for a motorcycle with a fuel-tank capacity of 22 L is 35 mi/gal. (2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.4)
a. How long a trip, in kilometers, can be made on one full tank of gasoline?
b. If the price of gasoline is $2.82 per gallon, what would be the cost of fuel for the trip?
c. If the average speed during the trip is 44 mi/h, how many hours will it take to reach the destination?
d. If the density of gasoline is 0.74 g/mL, what is the mass, in grams, of the fuel in the tank?
e.When 1.00 g of gasoline burns, 47 kJ of energy is released. How many kilojoules are produced when the fuel in one full tank is burned?
When 1.00 g of gasoline burns, 47 kJ of energy is released.

- In a survey of 1000 large corporations, 250 said that, given a choice between a job candidate who smokes and an equally qualified nonsmoker, the nonsmoker would get the job (USA Today).(a) Let p represent the proportion of all corporations preferring a nonsmoking candidate. Find a point estimate for p.(b) Find a 0.95 confidence interval for p.(c) As a news writer, how would you report the survey results regarding the proportion of corporations that hire the equally qualified nonsmoker? What is the margin of error based on a 95% confidence interval?arrow_forward1,3,5 what the correct answer?arrow_forwardThe plastic known as PETE (polyethyleneterephthalate) is used to make plastic soft drink bottles and containers for salad dressing, shampoos, and dishwashing liquids. PETE is a polymer of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. Today, PETE is the most widely recycled of all the plastics. After it is separated from other plastics, PETE can be used in polyester fabric, door mats, and tennis ball containers. In 2015, 1.84×109 lb1.84×109 lb of PETE bottles were recycled in the U.S. The density of PETE is 1.38 g/mLg/mL. What volume, in liters, of PETE bottles were recycled in 2015 in the U.S.?
