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

Shante is calculating the amount of time it takes a rocket to get to the moon. The moon is around 239,000 miles from Earth. How
mel-nik [20]

Answer: 20 hours

Step-by-step explanation: We want to round our answer to the nearest hour, we know that the rocket can travel 200 miles per 1 minute, but we want to know first how many miles the rocket can travel per 60 minutes or 1 hour.

To find how many miles the rocket can travel at 60 minutes or 1 hour, simply multiply 200 x 60. 200 x 60 = 12,000 miles per hour.

Now, we want to find how many hours it would take for the rocket to travel from the earth to the moon.

Simply divide 239,000 by 12,000 to get the amount of hours it would take to reach the moon. 239,000/12,000 = about 20 hours.

So, it would take the rocket ship 20 hours to reach the moon from the earth.

Is there a difference in the number of people who have an Annual pass to Disney World comparing people who live in Florida to th
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

People who live in Florida and also have annual pass to Disney world is 221, sample size selected for group 1 is 350.

People who do not live in Florida and have annual pass to Disney world is 365, sample size selected for Group 2 is 650.

Group 1 sample proportion is : 221 / 350 = 0.6314

Group 2 sample proportion is 365 / 650 = 0.5615

Test statistics is 0.8317

Since test stats value is greater than the sample proportion significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Help! I have looked at so many lessons on writing exponential functions from a graph and nothing has helped.
Over [174]

Answer:

y = 8(-\frac{1}{2})^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the exponential function is,

y = a(b)ˣ

Since the graph of this function passes through two points (4, \frac{1}{2}) and (3, -1)

For the point (4, \frac{1}{2}),

\frac{1}{2}=a(b)^4 ---------(1)

For second point (3, -1),

-1 = a(b)³ ---------(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1),

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-1} = \frac{a(b)^4}{a(b)^3}

-\frac{1}{2}=b^{(4-3)}

-\frac{1}{2}=b

From equation (2)

-1 = a(-\frac{1}{2})^3

-1 = -\frac{1}{8}a

a = 8

Therefore, equation of the exponential function will be,

y = 8(-\frac{1}{2})^x

WRITE AN COMPOUND INEQUALITY FOR THIS SENTENCE
Mila [183]
Hello there!

Write a compound inequality for this sentence: 'w' is less than 4 and greater than or equal to -8
Only use 'w' once.


W is less than four ~ 4 \ \textgreater \ w

W is greater than or equal to -8 ~ w \geq -8

If we were to put this together, it would look like:

4 \ \textgreater \  w  \geq  -8


I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!
