In order to help identify baby growth patterns that are unusual, we need to construct a confidence interval of the mean head cir

cumference of all babies that are two months old. A random sample of 100 babies is obtained, and the mean head circumference is found to be 40.6 cm. Assuming that the population standard deviation is known to be 1.6 cm, find a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean head circumference of all 2-month-old babies.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean head circumference of all 2-month-old babies is (40.18cm, 41.02cm).

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 100.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 100-1 = 99.

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level \alpha and divide by 2. So:

\frac{1-\alpha}{2} = \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.005

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 99 and 0.005 in the t-distribution table, we have T = 2.626

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

s = \frac{1.6}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.16

Now, we multiply T and s

M = Ts = 2.626*0.16 = 0.42

For the lower end of the interval, we subtract the sample mean by M. So the lower end of the interval here is

L = 40.6 - 0.42 = 40.18cm

For the upper end of the interval, we add the sample mean and M. So the upper end of the interval here is

L = 40.6 + 0.42 = 41.02cm

So

The 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean head circumference of all 2-month-old babies is (40.18cm, 41.02cm).

Name the plane that is highlighted in the diagram below
larisa86 [58]

The plane that is highlighted inside the given cuboid is called a Rectangle.

<h3>What is the Plane in the given solid?</h3>

A cross-section is the intersection of a solid and a plane. Plane Figures and defined as solid shapes.

In geometry, shapes are the forms of objects which have boundary lines, angles and surfaces. These figures demonstrate the shape of objects we see in our everyday lives. There are different types of 2D shapes and 3D shapes. The plane shapes are two-dimensional closed shapes with no thickness and are known as 2D shapes.

Solid shapes are nothing but solids with three dimensions: length, breadth, and height. Solid shapes are also known as 3D shapes.

Now, looking at the given figure we see that it is a cuboid and we see that the 2 dimensional plane cut through it is clearly a rectangle.

Thus, we can conclude that the plane that is highlighted inside the given cuboid is called a Rectangle.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x times by 9

Required

Write out an algebraic expression for the above.

Follow the instructions below to get the algebraic expression of the above.

1. First, write out the variable: x

2. Then write out an expression for "times by 9". This means multiply x by 9.

So, this gives x * 9.

x * 9 = 9x.

Hence, the expression for the above question is 9x

Answer:

15). is done

16).

slope =  \frac{ {y}^{1} -  {y}^{o}  }{ {x}^{1}  -  {x}^{o} }  \\  =  \frac{2 - ( - 2)}{ - 3 - 9}  \\  =  \frac{4}{ - 12}  \\ slope =  -  \frac{1}{3}

Which value must be added to the expression x2 + x to make it a perfect-square trinomial? One-fourth One-half 1 4
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + x

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + x

x² + 2(\frac{1}{2} )x + (\frac{1}{2} )² = x² + x + \frac{1}{4}

= (x + \frac{1}{2} )² ← perfect square
