Answer:

(a) A 95% confidence interval for the population mean is [433.36 , 448.64].

(b) A 95% upper confidence bound for the population mean is 448.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that article contained the following observations on degrees of polymerization for paper specimens for which viscosity times concentration fell in a certain middle range:

420, 425, 427, 427, 432, 433, 434, 437, 439, 446, 447, 448, 453, 454, 465, 469.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                              P.Q.  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean = \frac{\sum X}{n} = 441

            s = sample standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1} }  = 14.34

            n = sample size = 16

            \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample t-test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

<em />

<u>So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, </u>\mu<u> is ;</u>

P(-2.131 < t_1_5 < 2.131) = 0.95  {As the critical value of t at 15 degrees of

                                             freedom are -2.131 & 2.131 with P = 2.5%}  

P(-2.131 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.131) = 0.95

P( -2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X -2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X +2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                      = [ 441-2.131 \times {\frac{14.34}{\sqrt{16} } } , 441+2.131 \times {\frac{14.34}{\sqrt{16} } } ]

                                      = [433.36 , 448.64]

(a) Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is [433.36 , 448.64].

The interpretation of the above interval is that we are 95% confident that the population mean will lie between 433.36 and 448.64.

(b) A 95% upper confidence bound for the population mean is 448.64 which means that we are 95% confident that the population mean will not be more than 448.64.

What point would be reflected across the y-axis to ( − 3, − 9) ?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

(-3, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point was reflected across the y-axis, then the y-coordinate would change signs (from negative to positive or from positive to negative). Using this, we could find the original point by changing the sign of the y-coordinate. As you may already see, this is really just reflecting the point across the y-axis again. By doing this, you get the point (-3, 9).

The point would be (-3, 9).

I hope this helps. :)

HELP PLEASE!!! 10 PTS!!

Answer:

m∠DEC = 78°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: AC = AD, AB⊥BD, m∠DAC = 44° and CE bisects ∠ACD.

If two sides of a triangles are congruent then the opposite angles of congruent sides are congruent.

AC = AD                 (Given)

\angle ADC\cong \angle ACD

m\angle ADC=m\angle ACD

According to the angle sum property, the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

m\angle ADC+m\angle ACD+m\angle DAC=180

m\angle ACD+m\angle ACD+44=180

2m\angle ACD=180-44

2m\angle ACD=136

Divide both sides by 2.

m\angle ACD=68

CE bisects ∠ACD.

m\angle ACE=m\angle DCE=\dfrac{\angle ACD}{2}

m\angle ACE=m\angle DCE=\dfrac{68}{2}

m\angle ACE=m\angle DCE=34

Use angle sum property in triangle CDE,

m\angle CDE+m\angle DCE+m\angle DEC=180

68+34+m\angle DEC=180

68+34+m\angle DEC=180

102+m\angle DEC=180

Subtract 102 from both sides.

m\angle DEC=180-102

m\angle DEC=78

Therefore, the measure of angle DEC is 78°.

Jackson has a gift card for $120 to use at a department store. he wants to purchase 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants with his gift
mylen [45]
  • The domain of this relationship can be defined as,

0 ≤ x ≤ 60

  • The range of this relationship can be defined as,

0 ≤ y ≤ 40

Definition of Domain and Range

The set of  all the possible input values for which the provided function is defined is termed as the domain of that function.

The set of all the possible values that a given function can generate as an output is termed as the range of that function.

Forming the Relation

It is given that,

  • Jackson wants to purchase 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants with his gift card
  • x represents the cost of the shirts and y represents the cost of the pants
  • The limit of the gift card = $120

Thus, the relation formed is given by,

2x + 3y \leq  120

Domain and Range of the Given Relation

We have,

2x + 3y \leq  120

⇒ 2x \leq 120

⇒ x\leq60

Thus, the domain is given by,

⇒ 0\leq x\leq 60

Similarly,

3y\leq 120

⇒ y\leq 40

Thus, the range is given by,

⇒ 0\leq y\leq 40
