Answer:

44.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to answer this question, we need to find the mean of this data set. When finding the mean, you use the same process you use when averaging.

So we would do: 8 + 12 + 4 + 3 + 14 + 1 + 9 + 13/8

Our new fraction turns into 64/8, which we can then divide to give us 52.625. We can round up our new number to give us 52.6

We now need to find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and mean. In simple terms, we use the answer we got from our fraction and subtract it from each number in our cluster of numbers/data set. Keep in mind when subtracting you will get some negative numbers, but in this scenario we take away any negative sings, so we don't end up with any negative numbers.

8 - 52.6 = -44.6 = 44.6

12 - 52.6 = -40.6 = 40.6

4 - 52.6 = -48.6 = 48.6

3 - 52.6 = -49.6 = 49.6

14 - 52.6 = -38.6 = 38.6

1 - 52.6 = -51.6 = 51.6

9 - 52.6 = -43.6 = 43.6

13 - 52.6 = -39.6 = 39.6

Finally, we need to to the same process we used in our first step, just use the new numbers we have instead of our old numbers.

This gives us 356.8/8, which when divided, will leave us with 44.6.

Therefore, our answer is 44.6

A doctor at a local hospital is interested in estimating the birth weight of infants. How large a sample must she select if she

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed is $n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$ . If n is a decimal number, it is rounded up to the next integer. $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.05 = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How large a sample must she select if she desires to be 90% confident that her estimate is within 4 ounces of the true mean?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found when M = 4. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$4 = 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$4\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{\sigma}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$

$n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$

The minimum sample size needed is $n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$ . If n is a decimal number, it is rounded up to the next integer. $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population.

URGENTEE. NON SO RISOLVERE QUESTO PROBLEMA.

Marrrta [24]

the question in English

Draw a rectangle having the base congruent to the nine sevenths of the height.

Let

b-------> the base of rectangle

h-------> the height of rectangle

we know that

b=(9/7)*h-------> this is the equation to obtain the base of the rectangle for a given height

examples

1) for h=7 units

b=(9/7)*7-------->b=9 units

the dimensions are 9 units x 7 units------> see the attached figure

2) for h=5 units

b=(9/7)*5-------->b=(45/7) units

the dimensions are (45/7) units x 5 units

The answer in Italian

Facciamo

b-------> base del rettangolo

h-------> altezza del rettangolo

Noi sappiamo che

b=(9/7)*h-------> questa è l'equazione per ottenere la base del rettangolo per una determinata altezza

esempi

1) per h=7 units

b=(9/7)*7-------->b=9 units

le dimensioni sono 9 units x 7 units-----> vedere la figura allegata

2) per h=5 units

b=(9/7)*5-------->b=(45/7) units

le dimensioni sono (45/7) units x 5 units
