Answer:

CI = 21 ± 0.365

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is:

CI = x ± SE * CV

where x is the sample mean, SE is the standard error, and CV is the critical value (either t score or z score).

Here, x = 21.

The standard error for a sample mean is:

SE = σ / √n

SE = 3.2 / √510

SE = 0.142

The critical value is looked up in a table or found with a calculator.  But first, we must find the alpha level and the critical probability.

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

p* = 1 - (α/2) = 1 - (0.01/2) = 0.995

Using a calculator or a z-score table:

P(x<z) = 0.995

z = 2.576

Therefore:

CI = 21 ± 0.142 × 2.576

CI = 21 ± 0.365

Round as needed.

A is plotted on a coordinate grid at start bracket 3 and 1 over 2, negative 1 end bracket.. Choose the correct grid that best sh
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

A coordinate grid that shows a point located halfway between 3 and 4 units to the right and 1 unit down from the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

In a coordinate grid, the y axis is plotted on the vertical axis and the x axis is plotted on the horizontal axis. A is plotted on a coordinate grid at (3\frac{1}{2},-1) i.e (\frac{7}{2},-1). Above the origin is the positive y axis, below the origin is the negative y axis, right of the origin is the positive x axis and left of the origin is the negative x axis.

To plot A on the coordinate axis we need to locate 3\frac{1}{2} on the x axis and -1 on the y axis.  3\frac{1}{2} is halfway between 3 and 4, since the x coordinate is positive it is located to the right between 3 and 4 and since the y coordinate is negative it is located 1 unit down from the origin.

Suppose you have a bag of red, blue, and yellow marbles. If the probability of picking a red marble is start fraction 1 over 6 e
Alona [7]

Answer: B. one-third

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of picking a red marble, P(R) = 1/6

Probability of picking a yellow marble, P(Y) = 1/2

Therefore, the probability of picking a blue marble will be:

= 1 - (P(R) + P(Y))

= 1 - (1/6 + 1/2)

= 1 - (4/6).

= 1 - 2/3

= 1/3

The probability of picking a blue marble will be one third
