Please help, live quiz, will mark big brain! A veterinarian knows that a 50-pound dog gets 0.5 milligram of a certain medicine, and that the number of milligrams, m, varies directly with the weight of the dog, w. The vet uses these steps to find the amount of medicine to give a 10-pound dog.

Step 1 Find the constant of variation.

k = StartFraction 0.5 Over 50 EndFraction = 0.01

Step 2 Write the direct variation equation.

m = 0.01 w

Step 3

Substitute 10 into the equation to find the dosage for a 10-pound dog.

10 = 0.01 w

Step 4

Solve for w.

10 = 0.01 w. w = 1000.

The 10-pound dog needs 1000 milligrams.

Which step was wrong?

Recall that the owner of a local health food store recently started a new ad campaign to attract more business and wants to know if average daily sales have increased. historically average daily sales were approximately $2,700. the upper bound of the 95% range of likely sample means for this one-sided test is approximately $2,843.44. if the owner took a random sample of forty-five days and found that daily average sales were now $2,984, what can she conclude at the 95% confidence level?
