The confidence interval is 77.28\pm 2.23.

We first find the mean.  Add together all of the data points and divide by 6, the number of data points; the mean is 77.28.

Next we find the standard deviation.  Find the difference between each data point and the mean; square it; find the sum; divide by the number of data points; take the square root.  The standard deviation is 3.32.

To find the margin of error, we calculate the z-score associated with this level of confidence.  100-90 = 10% = 0.1; 0.1/2 = 0.05; 1-0.05 = 0.95.  Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is between two scores, 1.64 and 1.65; we will use 1.645.

The margin of error is given by
z * (σ/√n) = 1.645*(3.32/√6) = 2.23.

Thus the confidence interval is 77.28 +/ 2.23.

An n-sided polygon has two of its exterior angles measuring 30° and 42°.The remaining exterior angles all measure 16° each. Find
finlep [7]

Answer:

n = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The external angles of a polygon add up to 360 degrees. So:

30 + 42 + 16(n - 2)   = 360   where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

16n + 30 + 42 - 32 = 360

16n  + 40 = 360

16n = 320

n = 20.

In algebra, we often study relationships where a change to one variable causes change in another variable. Describe a situation
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

A familiar situation is: cost of books you pay for versus the quantity of books bought.

Cost of books ($) and quantity of books are directly proportionally related in the situation.

The graph will look like the graph in the attachment below.

A quantity (dependent variable) will change constantly in relation to another quantity (independent variable) if the relation is a proportional relationship.

A familiar situation for example can be the cost you pay for books will be directly proportional or dependent on the number of books you bought.

That is:

Number of books = independent variable

Cost ($) = dependent variable

A change in the number of books will cause a change in the cost you will pay for buying books.

This shows a direct proportional relationship between the two quantities.

On a straight line graph, the graph will be a proportional graph showing number of books on the x-axis against cost ($) you pay on the y-axis.

Therefore:

A familiar situation is: cost of books you pay for versus the quantity of books bought.

Cost of books ($) and quantity of books are directly proportionally related in the situation.
