Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean total cholesterol level of all males.
Number of sample, n = 355
Mean, u = 185 mg
Standard deviation, s = 16
For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96. This is determined from the normal distribution table.
We will apply the formula
Confidence interval
= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n
It becomes
185 +/- 1.96 × 16/√355
= 185 +/- 1.96 × 0.849
= 185 +/- 1.66404
The lower end of the confidence interval is 185 - 1.66404 =183.336
The upper end of the confidence interval is 185 + 1.66404 = 186.66
Therefore, with 95% confidence interval, the mean total cholesterol level of all males is between 183.336 mg and 186.66 mg
Answer:
512 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the parking lot at the Red Hill Shopping Center, the angle of sight (elevation) to the top of the hill is about 25. From the base of the hill you can also sight the top but at an angle of 55. The horizontal distance between sightings is 740 feet. How high is Red Hill? Show your subproblems.
Solution:
Let x be the distance from the base of the hill to the middle of the hill perpendicular to the height, let h be the height of the hill. Therefore:
tan 25 = h/(x + 740)
h = (x + 740)tan 25 (1)
tan 55 = h / x
h = x tan 55 (2)
Hence:
(x + 740)tan 25 = xtan 55
0.4663(x + 740) = 1.428x
0.4663x + 345.07 = 1.428x
0.9617x = 345.07
x = 359 ft.
h = xtan55 = 359 tan(55) = 512 ft.
Answer:
1) find d or distance between numbers
2) equation: an=a1+(n-1)d
3) an is nth term
a1 is first number in sequence
Answer:
