The 90% confidence interval for the population mean of the considered population from the given sample data is given by: Option C:  [130.10, 143.90]

<h3>
How to find the confidence interval for population mean from large samples (sample size > 30)?</h3>

Suppose that we have:

  • Sample size n > 30
  • Sample mean = \overline{x}
  • Sample standard deviation = s
  • Population standard deviation = \sigma
  • Level of significance = \alpha

Then the confidence interval is obtained as

  • Case 1: Population standard deviation is known

\overline{x} \pm Z_{\alpha /2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

  • Case 2: Population standard deviation is unknown.

\overline{x} \pm Z_{\alpha /2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

For this case, we're given that:

  • Sample size n = 90 > 30
  • Sample mean = \overline{x} = 138
  • Sample standard deviation = s = 34
  • Level of significance = \alpha = 100% - confidence = 100% - 90% = 10% = 0.1 (converted percent to decimal).

At this level of significance, the critical value of Z is: Z_{0.1/2} = ±1.645

Thus, we get:

CI = \overline{x} \pm Z_{\alpha /2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\CI = 138 \pm 1.645\times \dfrac{34}{\sqrt{90}}\\\\CI \approx 138 \pm 5.896\\CI \approx [138 - 5.896, 138 + 5.896]\\CI \approx [132.104, 143.896] \approx [130.10, 143.90]

Thus, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean of the considered population from the given sample data is given by: Option C:  [130.10, 143.90]

HELP! will give brainlest or whatever its called... Triangle ABC has vertices A(–2, 3), B(0, 3), and C(–1, –1). Find the coordin
Tomtit [17]

Answers:

A ' = (-2, -3)

B ' = (0, -3)

C ' = (-1, 1)

=======================================================

Explanation:

To apply an x axis reflection, we simply change the sign of the y coordinate from positive to negative, or vice versa. The x coordinate stays as is.

Algebraically, the reflection rule used can be written as (x,y) \to (x,-y)

Applying this rule to the three given points will mean....

  • Point A = (-2, 3) becomes A ' = (-2, -3)
  • Point B = (0, 3) becomes B ' = (0, -3)
  • Point C = (-1, -1) becomes C ' = (-1, 1)

The diagram is provided below.

Side note: Any points on the x axis will stay where they are. That isn't the case here, but its for any future problem where it may come up. This only applies to x axis reflections.
