Answer:

-3.5

The distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

After 2 hours, she is 13 miles from the campground.

After 4 hours, she is 6 miles from the campground.

Let x be the number of hours, y be the number of miles from the campground, then we have two points (2,13) and (4,6).

The equation of the line passing through the points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Substitute:

x_1=2\\ \\y_1=13\\ \\x_2=4\\ \\y_2=6

Hence,

y-13=\dfrac{6-13}{4-2}(x-2)\\ \\y-13=-3.5(x-2)\\ \\y=-3.5x+7+13\\ \\y=-3.5x+20

The slope of the line is -3.5 and it represents that  the distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles.

A student wanted to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean age of students in her statistics class. She randomly selec
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

19.1-3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=17.42    

19.1+3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=20.78    

And the best option would be:

C. [17.42,20.78]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

\bar X=19.1 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n=9 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

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

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=9-1=8

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of \alpha=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,8)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=

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

19.1-3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=17.42    

19.1+3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=20.78    

And the best option would be:

C. [17.42,20.78]
