A sample of students from an introductory psychology class were polled regarding the number of hours they spent studying for the

last exam. All students anonymously submitted the number of hours on a 3 by 5 card. There were 24 individuals in the one section of the course polled. The data was used to make inferences regarding the other students taking the course. There data are below:
4.5 22 7 14.5 9 9 3.5 8 11 7.5 18 20 7.5
9 10.5 15 19 2.5 5 9 8.5 14 20 8

Answer:

8.68,13.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hint- First we have to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sample and then applying formula for confidence interval we can get the values.

Mean of the sample is,

\mu=\dfrac{\sum _{i=1}^{24}a_i}{24}=\dfrac{262}{24}=10.92

Standard deviation of the sample is,

\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum _{i=1}^{24}\left(x_i-10.92\right)^2}{24-1}}=5.6

The confidence interval will be,

=\mu \pm Z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Here,

Z for 95% confidence interval is 1.96, and n is sample size which is 24.

Putting the values,

=10.92 \pm 1.96\cdot \dfrac{5.6}{\sqrt{24}}

=10.92 \pm 2.24

=8.68,13.16

Confidence interval is used to express the degree of uncertainty associated with a sample.

95% confidence interval means that if we used the same sampling method to select different samples and calculate an interval, we would expect the true population parameter to fall within the interval for 95% of the time.

How is a trapezoid similar to a parallelogram
Svetllana [295]
Trapezoid and paralellogram are both quadrilaterals

the heiarchy is
quadrilaterals are 4 sided figures
quadrilaterals is split up into
      A. no pairs of paralell sides
             - kite
       B. 1 pair of paralell sides
               - trapezoid/trapezium
      C. 2 pairs of parell sides (paralellograms)
           -rectangles
           -rhombus
           -square


so you can see that they are both quadrilaterals (quad=4, lateral=sides, quadrilateral=4 sided figure)

Veronika [31]
If and only if (iff) statements are true if only both statements are true of both are false, its double implied.
Here are the implications:
If two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.
If the slopes of two lines are equal then they are parallel.

Which equation represents the line that is perpendicular to y = 5 and passes through (-4,-3)?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The required equation is: y=-3

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write equation of line that is perpendicular to y = 5 and passes through (-4,-3).

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is expressed as: y=mx+b

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope:

Comparing with the given equation y=5, the slope m =0

The slope of required line will be opposite reciprocal of 0 as both lines are perpendicular. so it will be m=0

Finding y-intercept

The y-intercept can be found using slope m=0 and point (-4,-3)

y=mx+b\\-3=0(-4)+b\\b=-3

So, y-intercept b is b=-3

The equation of required line having slope m=0 and y-intercept b=-3 is

y=mx+b\\y=0(x)-3\\y=-3

So, required equation is: y=-3

Option D is correct.
