The Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is an intelligence test designed for children between the ages of 6 and 16.

The test is standardized so that the mean score for all children is 100 and the standard deviation is 15.
Suppose that the administrators of a very large and competitive school district wish to estimate the mean WISC score for all students enrolled in their programs for gifted and talented children. They obtained a random sample of 40 students currently enrolled in at least one program for gifted and talented children. The test scores for this sample are as follows:
126,111,141,96,123,115,116,113,127,114,122,116,104,126,126,132,139,111,143,121,119,107,154,125,120,135,142,132,94,103,143,115,132,107,118,105,101,135,94,153
a. Use this data to calculate the mean WISC score, x⎯⎯, for these 40 students.
b. Next, compute the standard error of the mean, SE, assuming that the standard deviation of WISC scores for students in the district is the same as for the population as a whole.
c. Finally, determine both the lower and upper bounds of a 90% confidence interval for μ, the mean score for all students in the school district who are enrolled in gifted and talented programs.

Answer:

a) \bar X = 121.4

b) SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=2.372

c) 121.4-1.64\frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=117.51    

121.4+1.64\frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=125.29  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given: 126,111,141,96,123,115,116,113,127,114,122,116,104,126,126,132,139,111,143,121,119,107,154,125,120,135,142,132,94,103,143,115,132,107,118,105,101,135,94,153

Part a

For this case we can calculate the sample mean with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And after replace we got:

\bar X = 121.4

Part b

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

For this case we assume that the population deviation is \sigma=15, we can calculate the standard error with this formula:

SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=2.372

Part c

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

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)  

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

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

121.4-1.64\frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=117.51    

121.4+1.64\frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=125.29

Answer:

  B.  Square

Step-by-step explanation:

When in doubt, it can help to plot the points on a graph.

__

By looking at the coordinate values, you see that the first two points have the same y-coordinate (0) and the other two points have the same y-coordinate (-4). These points are on horizontal lines that are 4 units apart.

Looking at the x-coordinates, you see that one pair of points has x-coordinates 4, and the other pair has x-coordinates 8. That is, these pairs of points are on vertical lines that are 4 units apart.

Vertical and horizontal lines are at right angles to each other. That means the figure must be a rectangle or square. The lengths of the sides are all 4 units, so the figure is a square.

The function f is defined by f(x)=2.1x−1.7. Use this formula to find the following values of f. f(x+2)
Yuki888 [10]

The value of f(x+2)=2.1x+2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The function f(x)=2.1x-1.7

Using this formula, we need to find the value of f(x+2)

Hence, we need to substitute x by x+2 to find the value of f(x+2)

f(x+2)=2.1(x+2)-1.7

Multiplying the term (x+2) by 2.1, we get,

f(x+2)=2.1x+4.2-1.7

Adding the constant term,

f(x+2)=2.1x+2.5

Thus, the value of f(x+2) is f(x+2)=2.1x+2.5

I just need help with first 2! Show work please it’s due soon and round answers to the nearest tenth !!!
natima [27]

Answer:

1. To find the volume of a cylinder you'll need to use the formula V = pi(r)^2(h)

V = pi(4)^2(6)

V = 301.59

Rounded* = 301.6

2. A beach ball is a sphere, so we're going to use the formula 4/3pi(r)^3

4/3pi(18)^3

D =  24429.02

Rounded* = 24429.0

I cant read the last one completely, hope this helps.

Which equation will solve the following word problem? One small pitcher and one large pitcher can hold 12 cups of water. If the
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Option (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of water hold by both the pitchers (Large + small) = 12 cups

Let the small pitcher holds the water = S cups

If the water hold by the large pitcher is twice the size of the small pitcher, then the amount of water hold by large pitcher = 2S

Total amount water hold by both = S + 2S

Equation for this situation will be,

S + 2S = 12

Therefore, Option (1) will be the answer.
