Answer:

9.9-2.14\frac{0.30}{\sqrt{15}}=9.734    

9.9+2.14\frac{0.30}{\sqrt{15}}=10.066    

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X= 9.9 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=0.3 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

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

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=15-1=14

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and the critical value wuld be t_{\alpha/2}=2.14

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

9.9-2.14\frac{0.30}{\sqrt{15}}=9.734    

9.9+2.14\frac{0.30}{\sqrt{15}}=10.066

1/4 + 5/12 =? Simplify your answer.
GrogVix [38]
1/4 + 5/12 = 3/12 + 5/12= 8/12 = 2/3

You must get the denominators the same so you multiply both 1 and 4 and you get 3/12. Then you add the two fractions and simplify it into 2/3

Lunna [17]

Answer: They are similar in that when you multiply 2 fractions, you merely multiply the numerators together and the denominators together  they are different in that a division still remains once the multiplication is completed.
