Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

$\bar{x_1} = 158.706, \sigma_1 = 25.36 , n_1= 17$

$\bar{x_1} = 122.471, \sigma_1 = 25.183 , n_2= 17$

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

degree of freedom (df) = 17 -1 = 16

critical value $= t_{\alpha/2},df = t_{0.025},16 =2.120$ (from t-table)

margin of error = $t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2}}$

=2.120\times \sqrt{\dfrac{25.36^2}{17}+\dfrac{25.183^2}{17}}[/tex]

= 2.120 x 8.6467

= 18.33

Margin of error = 18.33

Point estimation of difference = $\bar{x_1} - \bar{x_2}$

= 36.235

lower limit = 36.235 - 18.33 = 17.91

upper limit = 36.235 + 18.33 = 54.57

hence, the nearest option near to answer is option C

If m rst = 70, m qst = 2x, and m qsr = 3x-10 what is the m qsr

Anna [14]

Answer:

m qsr = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

From my understanding, the question states 3 angles of a triangle

All 3 angles of a triangle are equal to 180°.

<u>Step 1: Find x</u>

<em>70 + 2x + 3x - 10 = 180°</em>

<em>70 + 5x - 10 = 180</em>

<em>5x = 180 - 60</em>

<em>x = 120/5</em>

x = 24°

<u>Step 2: Find angle qsr</u>

<em>m qsr = 3x - 10</em>

<em>m qsr = 3(24) - 10</em>

m qsr = 62°

X+2y=8 x-2y=-4 solve by system of equations

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 8 -----------(I)

x - 2y = -4 -----------(II)

Add equation (I) & (II) and thus y will be eliminated and we can get the value of 'x'

(I) x + 2y = 8

(II) <u>x - 2y = -4</u><u> </u>{Now add}

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in equation (I)

2 + 2y = 8

2y = 8 - 2

2y = 6

y = 6/2

y = 3

Birth weights of babies born to full-term pregnancies follow roughly a Normal distribution. At Meadowbrook Hospital, the mean we

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Required Probability = 0.1283 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that at Meadow brook Hospital, the mean weight of babies born to full-term pregnancies is 7 lbs with a standard deviation of 14 oz.

Firstly, standard deviation in lbs = 14 ÷ 16 = 0.875 lbs.

Also, Birth weights of babies born to full-term pregnancies follow roughly a Normal distribution.

Let X = mean weight of the babies, so X ~ N( $\mu = 7 lbs , \sigma^{2} = 0.875^{2} lbs$ )

The standard normal z distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, X bar = sample mean weight

n = sample size = 4

Now, probability that the average weight of the four babies will be more than 7.5 lbs = P(X bar > 7.5 lbs)

P(X bar > 7.5) = P( $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ > $\frac{7.5-7}{\frac{0.875}{\sqrt{4} } }$ ) = P(Z > 1.1428) = 0.1283 (using z% table)

Therefore, the probability that the average weight of the four babies will be more than 7.5 lbs is 0.1283 .

Solve the following equations.<br> log6(x) = 1

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

log₆(x) = 1

Now,

From the properties of log

logₓ (z)= $\frac{\log(z)}{\log(x)}$ (where the base of the log is equal for both numerator and the denominator)

also,

log(xⁿ) = n × log(x)

thus,

using the above properties, we can deduce the results as:

logₓ(y) = n is equivalent to y = xⁿ

therefore,

the given equation can be deduced as:

log₆(x) = 1

into,

x = 6¹

or

x = 6
