Two owners of a cattle ranch, Jo and Val, want to find the average weight for the ranch’s 200 cows. Instead of weighing all of the cows: Jo weighs 25 cows and gets an average weight of 1,350 pounds (stdev 50) Val weighs 100 cows and gets an average weight of 1,420 pounds (stdev 50) What is Jo’s margin of error, rounded to the nearest whole number? The formula is attached a) 10 b) 20 c) 50 d) 529
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
