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).

Factor 5v^2 - 23v - 10​
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

(5v + 2)(v - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The expression is written in the form of ax^2 + bx + c

Let's factor by grouping:

ac  = -50

The sum of the factors of -50 should add up to -23.

-25 and 2 work for this.

Expand and factor:

  • 5v^2 - 23v - 10
  • 5v^2 - 25v + 2v - 10
  • 5v(v - 5) +2(v -5 )
  • (5v + 2)(v - 5)

The factored expression is (5v + 2)(v - 5)
