A meteorologist is studying the speed at which thunderstorms travel. A sample of 10 storms are observed. The mean of the sample

was 12.2 MPH and the standard deviation of the sample was 2.4. What is the 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of thunderstorms?

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of thunderstorms is [10.712, 13.688].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Sample size = 10

Sample mean = 12.2 mph

Standard deviation = 2.4

Confidence interval = 95%

At confidence interval 95% then z-score is 1.96.

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of thunderstorms is

CI=\overline{x}\pm z*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where, \overline{x} is sample mean, z* is z score at 95% confidence interval, s is standard deviation of sample and n is sample size.

CI=12.2\pm 1.96\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{10}}

CI=12.2\pm 1.487535

CI=12.2\pm 1.488

CI=[12.2-1.488, 12.2+1.488]

CI=[10.712, 13.688]

Therefore the 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of thunderstorms is [10.712, 13.688].

Un curso esta formado por 12 mujeres y 15 hombres ¿cual es la probabilidad de que las personas en el cargo de presidente y visep
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

P = (12/27)*(11/26) = 0.188

Step-by-step explanation:

Si todos tienen la misma probabilidad de estar en cargo de presidente y vicepresidente, entonces:

La probabilidad de que una mujer sea presidente, es igual al cociente entre el número de mujeres y el número total de personas:

p = 12/27

Ahora queremos calcular lo mismo para vicepresidente, y el cálculo es exactamente igual, con la diferencia de que en esta situación, ya hay una mujer en el cargo de presidente, entonces hay 11 mujeres que pueden ser vicepresidente, y un total de: (11 + 15 = 26 personas)

Entonces ahora la probabilidad es:

q = 11/26

La probabilidad conjunta (es decir, la probabilidad de que ambos eventos pasen) es igual al producto de las probabilidades individuales.

P = (12/27)*(11/26) = 0.188

How do i solve for x if 6x - 6 - 7x =6
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

X = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x - 12  =   -1 • (x + 12)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.1      Solve  :    -x-12 = 0

Add  12  to both sides of the equation :

                     -x = 12

Please said thanks

A. x = 2, y =6<br> B. x = 2, y =3<br> C. x =-2, y =3<br> D. x = -3, y =2
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The correct answer is A) x = 2 and y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, we need to set the hypotenuses equal to each other. Then we can solve for y to get the equation.

y - 1 = x + 3

y = x + 4

Now we can do the same with the leg lengths.

y - 3 = 2x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Now that we have two equations, we can set them equal to each other to get the x value.

x + 4 = 2x + 2

4 = x + 2

2 = x

Now that we have x, we can plug it into any equation to get the y value.

y = x + 4

y = 2 + 4

y = 6

9n+21−3n−24 simplify
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Alright First you combine the like terms. 
9n - 3n = 6n 
21 - 24 = -3 

Rewrite the simplified equation
6n - 3 = 0

Solve for n 
6n = 3 
n = 3/6 
n = 1/2 

Ask if you need more help! :)
