Answer:

B. (2.869, 3.411)

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>The number of hours per day that Americans spend on social networking is approximately normally distributed. A random sample of 20 Americans who use social networks had M = 3.14 hours and s = 0.58 hours. Find a 95% confidence interval for the actual mean number of hours that Americans spend on social networking. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>A. (2.860, 3.420) </em>

<em> B. (2.869, 3.411) </em>

<em>C. (2.886, 3.394) </em>

<em>D. Not appropriate</em>

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=3.14.

The sample size is N=20.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{0.58}{\sqrt{20}}=\dfrac{0.58}{4.472}=0.13

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=20-1=19

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 19 degrees of freedom is t=2.093.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s_M=2.093 \cdot 0.13=0.271

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 3.14-0.271=2.869\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 3.14+0.271=3.411

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is (2.869, 3.411).

In ABC, the measure of sides c is 3.9 cm If DEF is a dilation ABC with a scale factor of 2.5 what is the measure of side f
White raven [17]

Answer:

F = 9.75cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

In ABC;

C = 3.9cm

Dilation = 2.5

Required

Determine side F

In the given question;

DEF is a dilation of ABC

Comparing both triangles side by side,

Side F is a direct dilation of side C and this is calculated as follows

F = Dilation * C

F = 2.5 * 3.9cm

F = 9.75cm
