Answer:

The sample mean is

b.3.55

The margin of error is

0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Deep explanation about a confidence interval

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*215 = 353.675

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 6.4 - 0.3944 = 6.01 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 6.4 + 0.3944 = 6.74 hours.

In this problem:

The deep explanation is not that important.

We just have to recognize that the interval has a lower end and an upper end. The distance from both the upper and the lower end to the mean is M. This means that the sample mean is the halfway point between the lower end and the upper end.

The margin of error is the distance of these two points(lower and upper end) to the mean.

In our interval

Lower end: 3.23

Upper end: 3.87

Sample mean

M = \frac{3.23 + 3.87}{2} = 3.55

So the correct answer is:

b.3.55

The margin of error is

3.87 - 3.55 = 3.55 - 3.23 = 0.32

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, -5). Write the equati
amid [387]
In this we know all three zeros and one point from which the graph pass.
So we will let specific cubic polynomial function of the form
f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)

As we know zeros are that point where we will get value of function equal to zero. So it is basically in form (x_n , 0)

SO in given question zeros are (2 , 0) , (3, 0) and (5,0)
So we can say x_1 = 2 , x_2 = 3 , x_3 = 5

So required equation is
f(x) = a (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)
              = a[(x^2 - 2x - 3x + 6)(x-5)]
              = a[(x^2 - 5x+6)(x-5)]
              = a(x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x- 5x^2 + 25x - 30)
              = a(x^3 - 10x^2+31x-30)
Now we have one point (0 , -5) from which graph passes.
So we say at x = 0 , f(x) = -5
-5= a (0-0+0 - 30)
-5 = -30a
a =  \frac{-5}{-30} =  \frac{1}{6}
So required equation of cubic polynomial is
f(x) =  \frac{1}{6}(x^3 -10x^2+31x-30)

For finding y - intercept we simply plugin x = 0 in given equation.
As we know at x = 0 , value of function is -5.
So y - intercept is -5.

Marla did 65 sit ups each day for 1 week. Use the distributive property to show an expression u can use to find the total number
Debora [2.8K]
<span>the total number of sit ups = 7(60 + 5)
                                          = 7 * 60 + 7 * 5
                                          = 420 + 35
                                          = 455

Hope it helps</span>

The ratio of elena's height to pavai's height is 10:13. The ratio of elena's height to kamir's height is 2:3. Their total height
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

a) 10:13:3

b) 258 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of elena's height to pavai's height is 10:13. The ratio of elena's height to kamir's height is 2:3. Their total height is 456 cm.

a) Find the ratio of elena's height to pavani's height to kamir's height in its simplest form.

10:13:3

b) What is pavani's height?

The ratio of elena's height to pavai's height is 10:13.

Their total height is 456 cm

Sum of proportions = 10 + 13 = 23

Hence:

13/23 × 456 cm

= 257.73913043 cm

Approximately = 258 cm
