9.4 The heights of a random sample of 50 college stu- dents showed a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a stan- dard deviation of 6.9

centimeters. (a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean height of all college students. (b) What can we assert with 98% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the mean height of all college students to be 174.5 centime- ters?

Answer:  a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean height  = 174.5 cm

Standard deviation = 6.9 cm

n = 50

we need to find the 98% confidence interval.

So, z = 2.326

(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean height of all college students.

x\pm z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=(174.5\pm 2.326\times \dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}})\\\\=(174.5+2.26,174.5-2.26)\\\\=(176.76,172.24)

(b) What can we assert with 98% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the mean height of all college students to be 174.5 centime- ters?

Error would be

\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=0.976

Hence, a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.

A field has a length of 12 m and a diagonal of 13 m what is the width?
kvv77 [185]
Do Pythagorean Theorem because a rectangle divided in diagonals form right triangles
A^2+b^2=C^2
Plug in the correct numbers and solve
A and B can be switched around but C is always the longest diagonal side which is called the hypotenuse not the Adjacent sides that form a right angle
So with correct solving you should get 5.

klio [65]

1. First consider the unknown original price as 'x'.

2. Then consider the rate of discount.

3. To find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'.

4. To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price.

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 11.8 ft and a base with a radius of 7.3 ft. Round your answer to t
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 658.2 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume = x

height = 11.8 ft

radius = 7.3 ft

Formula

Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h

Process

1.- Calculate the volume

Volume = 1/3(3.14)(7.3)²(11.8)

Volume = 1/3(3.14)(7.3)²(11.8)

Volume = 1/3(3.14)(53.29)(11.8)

Volume = 1/3(1974.5)

Rounded to the nearest tenth

Volume =  658.2 ft³
