A university with a high water bill is interested in estimating the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each d

ay. In a sample of 11 students, the average time was 5.33 minutes and the standard deviation was 1.33 minutes. Using this sample information, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each day. Assume normality.a) What is the lower limit of the 99% interval? Give your answer to three decimal places.
b) What is the upper limit of the 99% interval? Give your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

a) lower limit = 4.295 minutes

b) upper limit = 6.365 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 5.33 minutes

Standard deviation r = 1.33 minutes

Number of samples n = 11

Confidence interval = 99%

z(at 99% confidence) = 2.58

Substituting the values we have;

5.33+/-2.58(1.33/√11)

5.33+/-2.58(0.401010088288)

5.33+/-1.0346060277

5.33+/-1.035

= ( 4.295, 6.365) minutes

Therefore at 99% confidence interval (lower, upper limit) = ( 4.295, 6.365) minutes

a) lower limit = 4.295 minutes

b) upper limit = 6.365 minutes

A shopper paid $2.52 for 4.5 pounds of potatoes,$7.75 for 2.5 pounds of broccoli,and $2.45 for 2.5 pounds of pears.What is the u
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A shopper paid $2.52 for 4.5 pounds of potatoes. This means that the unit price for each potato would be

2.52/4.5 = 0.55556

Approximately $0.6 per pound.

The shopper paid $7.75 for 2.5 pounds of broccoli. This means that the unit price for each broccoli would be

7.75/2.5 = $3.1 per pound.

The shopper paid $2.45 for 2.5 pounds of pears. This means that the unit price for each pear would be

2.45/2.5 = $0.98 per pound

Solve the Law of Cosine: c^2 = a^2+ b^2 - 2abcosC for cos C.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The Law of Cosine :  cos C = \frac{a^{2}+ b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab}

Step-by-step explanation:

See the figure to understand the proof :

Let A Triangle ABC with sides a,b,c,

Draw a perpendicular on base AC of height H meet at point D

Divide base length b as AD = x -b   and    CD = x

By Pythagoras Theorem

In Triangle BDC             And     In Triangle BDA

a² = h² + x²     (  1  )                        c² = h² + (x-b)²

                                                      c² = h² + x² + b² - 2xb   ...(. 2)

From above eq 1 and 2

c² = (a² - x²) + x² + b² - 2xb

or, c² = a² + b² - 2xb                    .....(3)

Again in ΔBDC

cos C = \frac{BD}{BC}

Or, cos C = \frac{x}{a}

∴ x= a cos C

Now put ht value of x in eq 3

I.e, c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos C

Hence , cos C = \frac{a^{2}+ b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab}      Proved   Answer

What is (-4x² + 3x + 3)(x² - 2x + 2) as a polynomial
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The given expression is in the form of the polynomial as -4x⁴+11x³-5x²+6 and the degree of the polynomial is 4.

<h3>What is a polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial is the combination of variables and constants systematically with "n" number of power in ascending or descending order.

\rm a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4..........a_nx^n

It is given that the polynomial expression is, (-4x² + 3x + 3)(x² - 2x + 2)

We have to simplify the expression by multiplying the expression as,

=-4x²(x² - 2x + 2)+3x(x² - 2x + 2)+3(x² - 2x + 2)

=-4x⁴+8x³-8x²+3x³-6x²+6x+3x²-6x+6

= -4x⁴+11x³-5x²+6

Thus, the given expression is in the form of the polynomial as -4x⁴+11x³-5x²+6 and the degree of the polynomial is 4.
