We have a sample of 28 data points. The sample mean is 30.0 and the sample standard deviation is 2.40. The confidence level required is 98%. Then, we calculate α by:

\begin{gathered} 1-\alpha=0.98 \\ \alpha=0.02 \end{gathered}

The confidence interval for the population mean, given the sample mean μ and the sample standard deviation σ, can be calculated as:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack x-Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}},x+Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}}\rbrack

Where n is the sample size, and Z is the z-score for 1 - α/2. Using the known values:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack30.0-Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}},30.0+Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}}\rbrack

Where (from tables):

Z_{0.99}=2.33

Finally, the interval at 98% confidence level is:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack28.94,31.06\rbrack

HELP Asap :-/!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH
pychu [463]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ΔMNO ≅ ΔPST, their corresponding sides must also be ≅(congruent).

NO is corresponds to TS, thus sides NO and side TS are ≅.

=> 20 = 3x - 7

=> 3x = 27

=> x = 9

Find the slope of the line that passes through (5,12) and (9,7)
omeli [17]

The slope will be the difference between the y-coordinates divided by the difference between the x-coordinates:

then the slope of the line is:

m=\frac{12-7}{5-9}=\frac{5}{-4}=-\frac{5}{4}
