No i dint think it is 2×8-4=12 and 8 is not equal to 12 :)

Answer:

(a) Point estimate = 7.10

(b) The critical value is 1.960

(d) Confidence Interval = (6.3, 7.9)

(e) We are 90% confident that the average number of hours worked by the students is between 6.3 and 7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\bar x = 7.10$ -- sample mean

$\sigma=5$ --- sample standard deviation

$n = 150$ --- samples

Solving (a): The point estimate

The sample mean can be used as the point estimate.

Hence, the point estimate is 7.10

Solving (b): The critical value

We have:

$CI = 90\%$ --- the confidence interval

Calculate the $\alpha$ level

$\alpha = 1 - CI$

$\alpha = 1 - 90\%$

$\alpha = 1 - 0.90$

$\alpha = 0.10$

Divide by 2

$\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.10/2$

$\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.05$

Subtract from 1

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

$1 - \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.95$

From the z table. the critical value for $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.95$ is:

$z = 1.960$

Solving (c): Margin of error

This is calculated as:

$E = z * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

$E = 1.960 * \frac{5}{\sqrt {150}}$

$E = 1.960 * \frac{5}{12.25}$

$E = \frac{1.960 *5}{12.25}$

$E = \frac{9.80}{12.25}$

$E = 0.800$

Solving (d): The confidence interval

This is calculated as:

$CI = (\bar x - E, \bar x + E)$

$CI = (7.10 - 0.800, 7.10 + 0.800)$

$CI = (6.3, 7.9)$

Solving (d): The conclusion

We are 90% confident that the average number of hours worked by the students is between 6.3 and 7.9

Answer:

(5,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If reflected over the x-axis, the quadrilateral would be in the fourth quadrant. N' would be at (1,-1) and P' at (6,-1). To reflect, look at the y-coordinate of the point and turn it to negative. With point Q, it's at (5,4) so we just flip the 4 to -4 and that's our point! (5,-4)

Answer:

the answer is A. 3225

Step-by-step explanation:

S₃₀ = 30/2 [ 2 x 6 + (30 - 1) x 7 ]

15 [ 12 + 29 x 7 ]

15 [ 12 + 203 ]

15 x 215

Help!!<br><br> which expression is equivalent to (m^5 n /pq^2) ^4

lana66690 [7]

$\text{Use:}\\\\\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^n=\dfrac{a^n}{b^n}\\\\(a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\......................................................\\\\\left(\dfrac{m^5n}{pq^2}\right)^4=\dfrac{(m^5n)^4}{(pq^2)^4}=\dfrac{(m^5)^4n^4}{p^4(q^2)^4}=\dfrac{m^{20}n^4}{p^4q^8}$
