Denise is a professional swimmer who trains, in part, by running. she would like to estimate the average number of miles she run

s in each week. for a random sample of 20 weeks, the mean is = 17.5 miles with standard deviation s = 3.8 miles. find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean number of miles denise runs. use a graphing calculator for this one and not the t chart from the book.

Given:
n = 20, sample size
xbar = 17.5, sample mean
s = 3.8, sample standard deiation
99% confidence interval

The degrees of freedom is 
df = n-1 = 19

We do not know the population standard deviation, so we should determine t* that corresponds to df = 19.
From a one-tailed distribution, 99% CI means using a p-value of 0.005.
Obtain
t* = 2.8609.

The 99% confidence interval is
xbar +/- t*(s/√n)

t*(s/√n) = 2.8609*(3.8/√20) = 2.4309
The 99% confidence interval is
(17.5 - 2.4309, 17.5 + 2.4309) = (15.069, 19.931)

Answer: The 99% confidence interval is (15.07, 19.93)

Mamont248 [21]

A bicyclist travels at a constant speed of 12 miles per hour for a total of 45 minutes.

We know the formula , Distance = speed * time

Speed is constant and it is 12. So it  is linear

The function becomes d = 12t, x is the t is the time and d is the distance

At the starting point, t=0  and distance d=0

End point , t=45 min = 0.75 hours and distance = 12 * 0.75 = 9

So domain (t) is {x|0}

Range (d) is {y|0}

what is the base of the exponent in the function f(x)=3(3\8)^2x when the function is written using only rational numbers and is
NeX [460]
The answer:

by definition, an exponential function with base c is defined by <span>h (x) = ac^x</span><span> 
where a ≠0, c > 0 , b ≠1, and x is any real number.</span>
The base, c, is a constant and the exponent, x<span>, is a variable. 
</span>so if we have  f(x)=3(3\8)^2x, this equivalent to f(x)=3(3\8)^y(x),
where y (x)=2x, <span>
therefore, the base is  3/8, and the variable is the function </span>y (x)=2x,

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

x^2+2x-5 - 1/x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=1/x

g(x)=x^2+2x-5

(g-f)(x) = x^2+2x-5 - 1/x
