The standard deviation of the weights of elephants is known to be approximately 15 pounds. We wish to construct a 95% confidence

interval for the mean weight of newborn elephant calves. Fifty newborn elephants are weighed. The sample mean is 244 pounds. The sample standard deviation is 11 pounds.

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the mean weight of newborn elephant calves is between a lower limit of 240.87 pounds and an upper limit of 247.13 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval = mean + or - Error margin (E)

mean = 244 pounds

sd = 11 pounds

n = 50

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 50 - 1 = 49

Confidence level = 95%

t-value corresponding to 49 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 2.010

E = t×sd/√n = 2.010×11/√50 = 3.13 pounds

Lower limit = mean - E = 244 - 3.13 = 240.87 pounds

Upper limit = mean + E = 244 + 3.13 = 247.13 pounds

95% confidence interval is between 240.87 and 247.13 pounds.

For sin2x+cosx=0, use a double-angle or half-angle formula to simplify the equation and then find all solutions of the equation
Archy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a trignometric equation in x, as

sin2x+cosx=0

TO make it in one trig ratio, we can replace sin2x as 2sinx cosx

WE get now

2sinxcosx+cosx=0\\

cosx(2sinx+1)=0\\cosx=0, sinx =-0.5\\

Principal solution is x=\frac{\pi}{2} , \frac{-\pi}{6}

x = ±π/2 + 2kπ, where k is any integer or

x=±pi/6 +k pi, where k is any integer.

General solution is

Answer:

(a) Rule: Multiply the input (x) by 2 and add 5 to the result of the product

(b) y  =2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached table

Solving (a): The rule of the table in words

First, we calculate the slope (m)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Using:

(x_1,y_1) =  (2,9)

(x_1,y_1) =  (10,25)

So, we have:

m = \frac{25 - 9}{10 - 2}

m = \frac{16}{8}

m=2

The equation is calculated using:

y - y_1 =m(x - x_1)

Using:

(x_1,y_1) = (6,17)

We have:

y - 17 =2(x - 6)

y - 17 =2x - 12

Make y the subject

y  =2x - 12+17

y  =2x +5

Hence, the rule is:

Multiply the input (x) by 2 and add 5 to the result of the product

(b): The rule, in algebra

As solved in (a), the rule is:

y  =2x +5

Find the 90 th derivative of the function ƒ(x)=cos(x)
Inessa [10]
F(x) = cos x
f'(x) = -sin x
f''(x) = -cos x
f'''(x) = sin x
f''''(x) = cos x

90/4 = 22 Remainder 2
Therefore, 90th derivative of f(x) = cos x is -cos x.
