lions [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

b. 2.01 < σ < 2.81

Step-by-step explanation:

The 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation is calculated as:

\sqrt{\frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^2_{\alpha/2 } } }    < σ < \sqrt{\frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^2_{1-\alpha/2 } } }

Where n is equal to 51, s is equal to 2.34, \alpha is 10%, X^{2} _{\alpha /2} is the value for the Chi squared distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom that has a probability of \alpha /2 in the right tail and X^{2} _{1-\alpha /2} is the value for the Chi squared distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom that has a probability of 1-\alpha /2 in the right tail.

So, replacing n by 51, s by 2.34, X^{2} _{\alpha /2} by 67.50 and X^{2} _{1-\alpha /2} by 34.76, we get that the The 90% confidence interval is equal to:

\sqrt{\frac{(51-1)*2.34^{2} }{67.50} } } < σ <\sqrt{\frac{(51-1)*2.34^{2} }{34.76} } }

2.01 < σ < 2.81

Quadratic Equation
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of ages of two friends is 13 years.

The product of their ages is 42.

<em>Let the age of 1st friend and 2nd friend is x, y respectively.</em>

<em>1 st condition= The sum of ages of two friends is 13 y</em><em>r</em><em>s. </em>

i.e x+y = 13........ (I)

<em>2nd condition= The product of their ages is 42.</em>

i.e X*y = 42........(ii)

From equation (I)

X+y = 13

or, X = 13-y........ (iii)

<em>Putting the equation (iii) in equation (ii).</em>

X*y= 42

(13-y) * y = 42

13y - y^2 = 42

{y}^{2}  - 13y + 42 = 0

{y}^{2}   - (7 + 6)y + 42= 0

{y}^{2}  - 7y - 6y + 42 = 0

y(y - 7) - 6(y - 7) = 0

(y - 6) (y - 7) = 0

Either; y-6 = 0

y = 6

Or;

y-7=0

y = 7

<em>Keeping the value of y as "7" in equation (ii)</em>

x*y = 42

7x = 42

X = 42/7

Therefore, the value of X is 6.

Therefore, either 1st friend is 6 years and 2nd is 7 years.
