Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The  confidence interval is  64.86

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given the following data

   The following heights are

66, 65, 67, 62, 62, 65, 61, 70, 66, 66, 71, 63, 69, 65, 71, 66, 66, 69, 68, 62, 65, 67, 65, 71, 65, 70, 62, 62, 63, 64, 67, 67      

 The  sample size is n  =32

  The confidence level is k  = 95% = 0.95

The mean is evaluated as

          \= x = 66+ 65+ 67+ 62+ 62+ 65+ 61+ 70+ 66+ 66+ 71+63+ 69+ 65+ 71+ 66+ 66+ 69+ 68+ 62+ 65+ 67,+\\65+ 71+ 65+ 70+ 62+ 62+ 63+ 64+ 67+ 67 / 32

=>   \= x = \frac{2108}{32}

=>     \= x = 65.875

The standard deviation is evaluated as

           \sigma =  \sqrt{ v}

Now  

   v = ( 66-65.875 )^2+(65-65.875)^2+( 67-65.875)^2+ (62-65.875)^2+ (62-65.875)^2+ (65-65.875)^2+( 61-65.875)^2+ (70-65.875)^2+ (66-65.875)^2+ (66-65.875)^2+ (71+63-65.875)^2+ (69-65.875)^2+ (65-65.875)^2+ (71-65.875)^2+( 66-65.875)^2+ (66-65.875)^2+ (69-65.875)^2+ (68-65.875)^2+ (62-65.875)^2+ (65-65.875)^2+ (67-65.875)^2,+\\(65-65.875)^2+ (71-65.875)^2+ (65-65.875)^2+ (70-65.875)^2+( 62-65.875)^2+( 62-65.875)^2+ (63-65.875)^2+ (64-65.875)^2+ (67-65.875)^2+ (67-65.875)^2 / 32

=>v=  8.567329

=>   \sigma  =  \sqrt{8.567329}

=>   \sigma  =  2.927

The level of significance is evaluated as

        \alpha  =  1 - 0.95

        \alpha  =  0.05

The degree of freedom is  evaluated as

    Df =  n- 1 \equiv  Df  =  32 -1 = 31

The critical values for the level of significance is obtained from the z -table as

      t_c = t_{\alpha/2 } , Df =  t _{0.05/2}, 31 =\pm 1.96

The confidence interval is evaluated as

       \mu  = \= x \pm t_c *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

substituting values

        \mu =65.875 \pm 1.96* \frac{2.927}{\sqrt{32} }

       \mu =65.875 \pm 1.01415

=>    64.86

Step-by-step explanation:

 =(-5-√-75)/2=(-5-5i√ 3 )/2= -2.5000-4.3301i

x =(-5+√-75)/2=(-5+5i√ 3 )/2= -2.5000+4.3301i

x = 5

here are several types of objects. For each type of object, estimate how many there are in a stack that is 5 feet high. Be prepa
lorasvet [3.4K]

We need to estimate how tall is, on average, one of these object, and then count how many would be in a 5 feet high stack.

For example, on Google you may see that "1.5 cubic foot boxes are the standard box, manufactured by most companies". So, we assume that a standard cardboard box is 1.5 feet tall.

So, if we set the equation

1.5k = 5 \iff k=\dfrac{5}{1.5}=3.\bar{3}

So, there would be between 3 and 4 cardboard boxes in a 5 feet tall stack.

Similarly, we can see that the average book is 9 inches tall. 9 inches are 0.75

feet, so we have

0.75k=5 \iff k=6.\bar{6}

So, there would be between 6 and 7 books in a 5 feet tall stack.

The average brick is 75 millimeters tall, which means 0.25 feet tall. Again, we have

0.25k=5 \iff k=20

So, there would be 20 bricks in a 5 feet tall stack.

Finally, a coin is about 0.006 feet, which leads to

0.006k=5 \iff k=833.\bar{3}

So, there would be between 833 and 834 coins in a 5 feet tall stack.
