If r(x)=3x-1 and s(x)=2x+1, which expression is equivalent to (r-s)(6)

daser333 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find (r- s) or r(x) - s(x)

r(x) - s(x) = 3x - 1 - (2x + 1)

r(x) - s(x) = 3x - 1 - 2x - 1 (distribute the -1 to 2x and 1)

r(x) - s(x) = x - 2 (combine like terms, 3x + (-2x) = x, -1 + (-1) = -2)

so r(x) - s(x) = x - 2, or (r - s)(x) = x - 2

Step 2: Plug in 6 to 'x' and find (r - s)(x)

(r - s)(6) = 6 - 2 = 4

Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean, mu. Assume the population has a normal distribution. A group of 1

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the population mean is [19.891 , 24.909].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a group of 19 randomly selected students has a mean age of 22.4 years with a standard deviation of 3.8 years.

Assuming the population has a normal distribution.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% 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 age of selected students = 22.4 years

s = sample standard deviation = 3.8 years

n = sample of students = 19

$\mu$ = population mean

Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 99% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.878 < $t_1_8$ < 2.878) = 0.99 {As the critical value of t at 18 degree of

freedom are -2.878 & 2.878 with P = 0.5%}

P(-2.878 < $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.878) = 0.99

P( $-2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X - \mu}$ < $2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

P( $\bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ) = 0.99

99% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ , $\bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ]

= [ $22.4 -2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} }$ , $22.4 +2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} }$ ]

= [19.891 , 24.909]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the population mean is [19.891 , 24.909].
