Answer:

Assuming ages are normally distributed, the 98% confidence interval for the population average age is [26.3, 35.7].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean.

The information we have is:

- Sample mean: 31

- Variance: 49

- Sample size: 15

- The age is normally distributed.

We know that the degrees of freedom are

k=n-1=15-1=14

Then, the t-value for a 98% CI is t=2.625 (according to the t-table).

The standard deviation can be estimated from the variance as:

s=\sqrt {s^2}=\sqrt{49}=7

The margin of error is:

E=t_{14}*s/\sqrt{n}\\\\E=2.625*7/\sqrt{15}=18.375/3.873=4.7

Then, the CI can be constructed as:

M-t*s/\sqrt{n}\leq\mu\leq M+t*s/\sqrt{n}\\\\31-4.7\leq \mu \leq 31+4.7\\\\26.3\leq \mu \leq 35.7

the distance in feet that Karina swims in a race is represent by 8d - 8, where d is the distance for each lap.What is an express
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:    The equivalent expression for  is  

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance in feet that Karina swims in a race is represented by 4d - 4, where is d is the distance for each lap.

To get equivalent expression we factor the expression 4d-4

Greatest common factor is 4

Factor out 4 from the expression 4d-4

when we factor out 4, we divide each term by 4

The equivalent expression for  is

What is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle?.
LiRa [457]

The vertex angle is defined as the angle opposite the base. It can be calculated by formula, 180° - 2B = A where, B=base angle and A=vertex angle.

The two sides of an isosceles triangle are congruent, which means they are the same length. The third side of an isosceles triangle is larger than the other two and is known as the base.

Every triangle has three angles that add up to a total of 180°. The base angles are the two angles located along the base of isosceles triangles. In isosceles triangles, the base angles are always congruent, or equal.

The vertex angle is defined as the angle opposite the base. The vertex angle is always greater than the sum of the two base angles. The vertex angle is always calculated by subtracting the base angles from 180°, using the general formula: 180° - 2B = A, where B represents the base angle and A represents the vertex angle.

Thus, vertex angle is defined as the angle opposite the base.
