Answer:

The correct option is D. 81.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of the data set is given to be 40

⇒ μ = 40

Standard deviation of the data set is given to be 5

⇒ σ = 5

Now we are supposed to find out what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

\implies z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Now for P(35 < x < 50) :

Substitute x = 35 ⇒ z = -1

Substitute x = 50 ⇒ z = 2

So, P(-1 < z < 2) = P(z < 2) - P(z < -1)

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 0.9772 - 0.1587

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 0.8185

⇒ P(-1 < z < 2) = 81.8%

Therefore, 81.8% percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

Hence, The correct option is D. 81.8%

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.â  Suppose a small group of 11 Allen's humming
alexira [117]

Answer:

3.15-1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.003    

3.15+ 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.297    

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (3.003;3.297)

And the margin of error is given by:

ME = 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}= 0.147    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=3.15 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=0.38 represent the population standard deviation

n=11 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.80 or 80%, the value of \alpha=0.2 and \alpha/2 =0.1, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NOR.INV(0.1,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.28

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

3.15-1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.003    

3.15+ 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.297    

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (3.003;3.297)

And the margin of error is given by:

ME = 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}= 0.147

What is the length of the rectangle?
gregori [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

area \: of \: rectangle \:  = 60 \:  {yards}^{2}  \\  \therefore \: (w + 4) \times \: w = 60\\  \\  \therefore \:  {w}^{2}  + 4w -60 = 0 \\  \\  \therefore \: {w}^{2}  + 10w - 6w -60 = 0 \\  \\   \therefore \: w({w} + 10) - 6(w  + 10)= 0 \\  \\  \therefore \: ({w} + 10) (w- 6)= 0 \\ \therefore \: {w} + 10 = 0 \: or \: w- 6 = 0 \\  \therefore \: {w}   = -  10  \: or \: w =  6  \\  \because \: sides \: of \: rectangle \: cant \: be \: negative \\  \therefore \: w \neq \:    - 10 \\  \\ \therefore \: w = 6 \\  \\ \therefore \: w + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10 \\  \\ length \: of \: rectangle \:  = 10 \: yards.
