So here you first want to open up the parenthesis by using the distributive property. (Is that what it's called)

So basically multiply each and every number by 0.5.

So 0.5 * -2.5x - 0.5 * 4.7 = 16.9

Is what you get after doing that.

And then just multiply the numbers

So

-1.25 * x - 2.35 = 16.9

Add 2.35 to both sides

-1.25 * x = 19.25

And then divide both sides by -1.25 to get

x = - 15.4

So there's your answer.

(Sorry I took so long btw)

We measure the diameters for a random sample of 25 oak trees in a neighbourhood. Diameters of oak trees in the neighbourhood fol
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The required confidence inteval = 94.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval: Mean ± Margin of error

Given: A confidence interval for the true mean diameter of all oak trees in the neighbourhood is calculated to be (36.191, 42.969).

i.e.  Mean + Margin of error = 42.969               (i)

Mean - Margin of error = 36.191                    (ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

2Mean =79.16\\\\\Rightarrow\ Mean= 39.58

Margin of error = 42.969-39.58             [from (i)]

= 3.389

Margin of error = t^* \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

here n= 25 , \ \sigma=8.25

i.e.

3.389=t^*\dfrac{8.25}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t^* = \dfrac{3.389}{1.65}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t^* =2.0539 \

Using  excel function 1-TDIST.2T(2.054,24)

The required confidence inteval = 94.9%.
