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].

Which value must be added to the expression x2 – 3x to make it a perfect-square trinomial?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

\frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 3x

To make the expression a perfect square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

x² + 2( - \frac{3}{2} )x + \frac{9}{4}, thus

x² - 3x + \frac{9}{4}

= (x - \frac{3}{2})² ← a perfect square

Omar is putting 5 liters of water in two goldfish bowls. He spills 200 milliliters of water and divides the remaining water even
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a) 0.2 L

b) 4800 ml

c) 2400 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Total volume of water = 5 litres

Since 1000 milliliters make 1 L

5L = 5000 ml

a) litres of water spilt = 200/1000 = 0.2 L

b) milliliters of water remaining = 5000 - 200 = 4800 ml

c) since it was expressly stated in the question that the remaining water was divided evenly; 4800/2 = 2400 ml in each bowl

<h2>Question:</h2>

At Priscilla's school, the final grade for her Calculus course is weighted as follows: Tests: 50% Quizzes: 30% Homework: 20% Priscilla has an average of 87% on her tests, 100% on her quizzes, and 20% on her homework. What is Priscilla's weighted average?

<h2>Work:</h2>

Weighted Average gives weights to each percent of the average as follows:

Weighted Average = Average * weighting percent

Weighted Average = Test Average * Test Weighting + Quiz Average. * Quiz Weighting + Homework Average * Homework Weighting

Weighted Average = 87% * 50% + 100% * 30% + 20% * 20%

Weighted Average = 43.5% + 30% + 4%

Weighted Average = 77.5%

<h2>Answer:</h2>

77.5%
