Answer:

The 99% confidence interval of the population mean for the weights of adult elephants is between 12,475 pounds and 12,637 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 10 - 1 = 9

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 3.25

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 3.25*25 = 81

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 12,556 - 81 = 12,475 pounds

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 12,556 + 81 = 12,637 pounds.

The 99% confidence interval of the population mean for the weights of adult elephants is between 12,475 pounds and 12,637 pounds.

3x - 5y = -35 <br> please solve and show your work
scoray [572]
You use the formula y=mx+b, therefore you have to isolate the y
First you subtract 3x to both sides.
3x - 5y = -35
-3x -3x
Then it would be
-5y = -3x -35
Then you divide -5 on both sides to isolate the y
-5y = -3x -35
/-5 /-5 /-5
Two negatives cancel out and make a positive so it would be
Y = 3/5x + 7

Hello, could you help me with my math exercise? thank you in advance
Natali [406]

Answer:

100(x - 1)

Explanation:

Let's begin writing down everything

(X×(-11)+5)×(-9)+X-55

Now we can multiply

-9(-11X+5)+X-55

99X-45+X-55

And so we get

100X-100

Factorize 100

100(x-1)
