You wish to test whether the number of fouls called in regular season games is different than during the NCAA tournament. The me

an number of fowls called during all regular season gams is u = 40.1 During 16 randomly selected playoff games n = 16 the mean number of fowls is 38.1 and the standard deviation of the sample = 5.8 You calculate a 95% Confidence Interval for the mean number of fouls called during playoff games The lower value of the confidence interval is:______

Answer:

the lower value of the interval = 35.26

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean number is u = 40.1

n = 16

the mean number called x is 38.1

the standard deviation = 5.8

given a 95% Confidence Interval

The lower value of the confidence interval is?

<u>solution</u>

There is a inﬁnite population and the standard deviation of the population is known,

the below formula is used for determining an estimate of the conﬁdence limits of the population mean, i.e.

x ± ( zₐσ)/ √n

For a 95% conﬁdence level, the value of za is taken from the confidence interval table = 1.96.

the conﬁdence limits of the population=

x ± ( zₐσ)/ √n

38.1 ± (1.96*5.8)/ √16

38.1 ± 11.368/4

38.1 ± 2.842

40.942 or 35.258

Thus, the 95% conﬁdence limits are 40.942 or 35.258

this prediction is made with conﬁdence that it will be correct nine five times out of 100.

finally, the lower value of the interval = 35.26

without building the graph, find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the lines given by the equation y=3x-1 and 3x+y

DaniilM [7]

<h2><u>1. Determining the value of x and y:</u></h2>

Given equation(s):

$y = 3x - 1$
$3x + y = -7$

To determine the point of intersection given by the two equations, it is required to know the x-value and the y-value of both equations. We can solve for the x and y variables through two methods.

<h3 /><h3><u>Method-1: Substitution method</u></h3>

Given value of the y-variable: 3x - 1

Substitute the given value of the y-variable into the second equation to determine the value of the x-variable.

$\implies 3x + y = -7$

$\implies3x + (3x - 1) = -7$

$\implies3x + 3x - 1 = -7$

Combine like terms as needed;

$\implies 3x + 3x - 1 = -7$

$\implies 6x - 1 = -7$

Add 1 to both sides of the equation;

$\implies 6x - 1 + 1 = -7 + 1$

$\implies 6x = -6$

Divide 6 to both sides of the equation;

$\implies \dfrac{6x}{6} = \dfrac{-6}{6}$

$\implies x = -1$

Now, substitute the value of the x-variable into the expression that is equivalent to the y-variable.

$\implies y = 3(-1) - 1$

$\implies$ $\ \ = -3 - 1$

$\implies$ $= -4$

Therefore, the value(s) of the x-variable and the y-variable are;

$\boxed{x = -1}$ $\boxed{y = -4}$

<h3 /><h3><u>Method 2: System of equations</u></h3>

Convert the equations into slope intercept form;

$\implies\left \{ {{y = 3x - 1} \atop {3x + y = -7}} \right.$

$\implies \left \{ {{y = 3x - 1} \atop {y = -3x - 7}} \right.$

Clearly, we can see that "y" is isolated in both equations. Therefore, we can subtract the second equation from the first equation.

$\implies \left \{ {{y = 3x - 1 } \atop {- (y = -3x - 7)}} \right.$

$\implies \left \{ {{y = 3x - 1} \atop {-y = 3x + 7}} \right.$

Now, we can cancel the "y-variable" as y - y is 0 and combine the equations into one equation by adding 3x to 3x and 7 to -1.

$\implies\left \{ {{y = 3x - 1} \atop {-y = 3x + 7}} \right.$

$\implies 0 = (6x) + (6)$

$\implies0 = 6x + 6$

This problem is now an algebraic problem. Isolate "x" to determine its value.

$\implies 0 - 6 = 6x + 6 - 6$

$\implies -6 = 6x$

$\implies -1 = x$

Like done in method 1, substitute the value of x into the first equation to determine the value of y.

$\implies y = 3(-1) - 1$

$\implies y = -3 - 1$

$\implies y = -4$

Therefore, the value(s) of the x-variable and the y-variable are;

$\boxed{x = -1}$ $\boxed{y = -4}$

<h2><u>2. Determining the intersection point;</u></h2>

The point on a coordinate plane is expressed as (x, y). Simply substitute the values of x and y to determine the intersection point given by the equations.

⇒ (x, y) ⇒ (-1, -4)

Therefore, the point of intersection is (-1, -4).
