Answer:

6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find measurement of leg using pythagorean theorem

b^2 = c^2- a^2

b^2= 13^2 - 4^2

b^2= 169-16

b^2= 153

b= 12.4

t+6= 12.4

subtract 6 from both sides

t= 6.4

The goal of a nutritional study was to compare the caloric intake of adolescents living in rural areas of the US with the calori

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

To give more clarity to the question, lets examine the attached back-to-back stem plot.

Having examined the stem plot, we can using quick calculations, summarize that:

The mean (40.45 cal/kg) and median (41 cal/kg) daily caloric intake of ninth-grade students in the rural school is higher than the corresponding measures of center, mean (32.6 cal/kg) and median (32 cal/kg), for ninth-graders in the urban school.

The median and the mean for the students in the 9th grade in the urban school is lower than that of those of their contemporaries in the rural school. The respective medians and means are stated below:

Urban 9th Grade Students

Median = 32 cal/kg

Mean = 36 cal/kg

Rural 9th Grade Students

Median = 41 cal/kg

Mean = 41 cal/kg

Please note that all figures above have been approximated to the nearest whole number.

It is unreasonable to generalize the findings of this study to all rural and urban 9th-grade students in the United States because the sample is too small compared to the target population size.

To allow for generalization, they would have to collect and analyze more samples say from every state within America.

Cheers!

A random sample of 20 students yielded a mean of ¯x = 72 and a variance of s2 = 16 for scores on a college placement test in mat

Helen [10]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the variance in the pounds of impurities would be $8.400 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 39.827$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$s^2 =16$ represent the sample variance

s=4 represent the sample standard deviation

$\bar x$ represent the sample mean

n=20 the sample size

Confidence=98% or 0.98

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

2) Calculating the confidence interval

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

On this case the sample variance is given and for the sample deviation is just the square root of the sample variance.

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of $\alpha=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical values.

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.01,19)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.99,19)". so for this case the critical values are:

$\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=36.191$

$\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=7.633$

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

$\frac{(19)(16)}{36.191} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(19)(16)}{7.633}$

$8.400 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 39.827$

So the 98% confidence interval for the variance in the pounds of impurities would be $8.400 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 39.827$ .

The total area of two square windows is 1,025 in.^2. each side of the larger window is 5 in. longer than the sides of the smalle

vampirchik [111]

The area of a square is expressed as:

Area = s^2

We are given the area of both windows. We will use this value for the calculations. We set s as the side of the larger window and a for the smaller window.

Total area = Area larger + area smaller
1025 = s^2 + a^2

Since it was said that the side of the larger window, s is 5 in longer than the side of the smaller window, a (s = 5+a) then:

<span>1025 = s^2 + a^2
</span>1025 = (5+a)^2 + a^2

simplifying we obtain,

a = 20 inches
