A sociologist was investigating the ages of grandparents of high school students. From a random sample of 10 high school student

Answer:

(69.8-71.6) -2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= -8.908  

(69.8-71.6) +2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= 5.308  

So then the confidence interval for the difference of means is given by:

-8.908 \leq \mu_M -\mu_F \leq 5.308

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_{M}= 69.8 represent the mean for the age of grandmother

\bar X_{F}= 71.6 represent the mean for the age of grandfather

s_{M}= 8.38 represent the sample deviation for the age of grandmother

s_{F}= 6.65 represent the sample deviation for the age of grandfather

n_M = n_F= 10

Solution to the problem

For this case the confidence interval is given by:

(\bar X_{M} -\bar X_F) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_M}{n_M} +\frac{s^2_F}{n_F}}

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n_M +n_F-2=10+10-2=18

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,18)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.101

And replacing we got:

(69.8-71.6) -2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= -8.908  

(69.8-71.6) +2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= 5.308  

So then the confidence interval for the difference of means is given by:

-8.908 \leq \mu_M -\mu_F \leq 5.308

During a building project, a brick is
taurus [48]

The brick will fall to the ground after 9 secs.

<h3>What are quadratic equations?</h3>

Given the equation for height as a function of time is  h(t) = -16t2 + 1,296

The height of the brick on the ground is h(t) = 0. Substitute h(t) = 0 into the equation as shown:

  • -16t2 + 1,296 = 0

Subtract 1296 from both sides

-16t² + 1,296 - 1296 = 0 - 1296

16t² = 1296

t² = 1296/16

t² = 81

t = 9secs

Hence the brick will fall to the ground after 9 secs.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

e = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4/3 = -6e - 5/3

transfer -6e to the right

4/3 = -5/3 -6e

Find the LCM of 3,3and 1

and their LCM is 3. So, divide all through by 3

3(4/3) = 3(-5/3) - 6e × 3

4 = -5 -18e

combine

4 + 5 = -18e

9 = -18e

divide by -18

9/ -18 = -18e/ -18

-1/2 = e

e = -1/2
