Why maths is an abstract subject

1 answer:

7 0

Abstraction in mathematics is the process of extracting the underlying structures, patterns or properties of a mathematical concept, removing any dependence on real world objects with which it might originally have been connected, and generalizing it so that it has wider applications or matching among other abstract

You intend to estimate a population mean μ from the following sample. 26.2 27.7 8.6 3.8 11.6 You believe the population is normally distributed. Find the 80% confidence interval. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to twp decimal places.

Answer:

The Confidence interval = (8.98 , 22.18)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

mean = $\dfrac{ 26.2+ 27.7+ 8.6+ 3.8 +11.6 }{5}$

mean = 15.58

the standard deviation $\sigma$ = $\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x_i - \mu)^2 }{n}}$

the standard deviation = $\sqrt{\dfrac{(26.2 - 15.58)^2 +(27.7 - 15.58)^2 +(8.6 - 15.58)^2 + (3.8 - 15.58)^2 + (11.6 - 15.58)^2 }{5 } }$

standard deviation = 9.62297

Degrees of freedom df = n-1

Degrees of freedom df = 5 - 1

Degrees of freedom df = 4

For df at 4 and 80% confidence level, the critical value t from t table = 1.533

The Margin of Error M.O.E = $t \times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The Margin of Error M.O.E = $1.533 \times \dfrac{9.62297}{\sqrt{5}}$

The Margin of Error M.O.E = $1.533 \times 4.3035$

The Margin of Error M.O.E = 6.60

The Confidence interval = ( $\mu \pm M.O.E$ )

The Confidence interval = ( $\mu + M.O.E$ , $\mu - M.O.E$ )

The Confidence interval = ( 15.58 - 6.60 , 15.58 + 6.60)

The Confidence interval = (8.98 , 22.18)

The data shown on the scatter plot below demonstrates the relationship between the time of day and the total number

viva [34]

Answer:

Good question! The correct answer is a) increases and b) increases.

While the pair of answers a) decreases and b) decreases or the pair a) stays the same and b) stays the same would be technically correct answers, this is the best way of describing the trend of the scatter plot; typically, trends are described by how the dependent or y-variable responds to the independent or x-variable increasing.
