Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the 90% confidence interval is (246.6, 282.8).

<h3>What is a t-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • t is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • s is the standard deviation for the sample.

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed <u>90% confidence interval</u>, with 16 - 1 = 15 df, is t = 1.7531.

Researching the problem on the internet, the standard deviation was of 42.1 mg/dL, hence the parameters are as follows:

\overline{x} = 264.7, s = 41.2, n = 16

Thus, the bounds of the interval are given by:

\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 264.7 - 1.7531\frac{41.2}{\sqrt{16}} = 246.6

\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 264.7 + 1.7531\frac{41.2}{\sqrt{16}} = 282.8

The 90% confidence interval is (246.6, 282.8).

Give a big-o estimate for the number of operations (where an operation is an addition or a multiplication) used in this segment
Marianna [84]
We have a "rectangular" double loop, meaning that both loops go to completion.
So there are 3*4=12 executions of t:=t+ij.

Assuming two operatiions per execution of the innermost loop, (i.e. ignoring the implied additions in increment of subscripts), we have 12*2=24 operations in all.

Here the number of operations (+ or *) is exactly known (=24). 

Big-O estimates are used for cases with a varying scale of operations, governed by a variable (usually n) to indicate the sensitivity of the number of operations relative to a change in the size of n.

Here we do not have a scale, nor n is defined.  The number of operations is constant and known at 24.   So a variable is required to find the big-O estimate.

An equilateral triangles has 3 equal sides and 3 equal angles.
All the angles of an equilateral triangle have a measure of 60 degrees.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse squared is the length of one leg squared plus the length of another leg squared.

Here's the equation for the Pythagorean theorem.
Let c be the length of the hypotenuse.
Let a and b be the length of the two legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
