Solution Steps

To solve the problem of multiplying a fraction by a whole number, we can follow these steps:

  1. Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number.
  2. Keep the denominator the same.
  3. Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
Step 1: Multiply the Numerator by the Whole Number

To find the product of \(\frac{5}{7}\) and \(42\), we first multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number: \[ 5 \times 42 = 210 \]

Step 2: Keep the Denominator the Same

The denominator remains the same: \[ \frac{210}{7} \]

Step 3: Simplify the Fraction

Next, we simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator: \[ \frac{210}{7} = 30 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{30}\)

A paint manufacturer uses a machine to fill gallon cans with paint (1 gal = 128 ounces). The manufacturer wants to estimate the mean volume of paint the machine is putting in the cans within 0.7 ounce. Assume the population of volumes is normally distributed (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.84 ounce. (b) The sample mean is 127 ounces. With a sample size of 7 a 90% level of confidence, and a population standard deviation of 0.84 ounce, does it seem possible that the population mean could be exactly 128 ounces? Explain.
