Answer:

95% Confidence interval of the standard deviation: 3.33 ≤ σ ≤ 8.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 10

Degrees of freedom = 10-1 = 9

For a 95% confidence interval, we have  α=0.05, which gives 2.5% of the area at each end of the chi-square distribution.

We calculate the chi-square values for a 95% confidence interval

Value of chi-square_0.975 = 2.70

Value of chi-square_0.025 = 19.02

We then evaluate [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^{2} }}[/tex] for the two values of chi-square.

Then we have:

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^{2}}} =\sqrt{\frac{(10-1)*4.848^{2} }{2.70}}=\sqrt{78.34}=8.85\\\\\\sqrt{\frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^{2}}} =\sqrt{\frac{(10-1)*4.848^{2} }{19.02}}=\sqrt{11.12}=3.33[/tex]

With these results we can express the confidence interval as

3.33 ≤ σ ≤ 8.85

Can someone help me with this proof
maksim [4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Given that lines a and b are parallel, angles 1 and 5 are congruent because they are corresponding angles, and angles 1 and 4 are congruent because they are vertical angles

To find : by which property are angles 4 and 5 congruent

Solution :

We know that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent.

Also, we know that if two things are equal to the same thing then they are equal to each other . In this case, we can say that if two angles are congruent to a third angle, then they are congruent to each other. As angles 4 and 5 are both congruent to angle 1, they are congruent to each other but angles 4 and 5 are alternate interior angles. So, if parallel lines have a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent.

What’s the distributive property of 17 x 8
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember simple multiplication?  Write the problem with 17 at the bottom:

      8

*  1 7

----------

    5 6        <-- this is 8*7

    8 0        <-- this is 8*10   [we sometimes just shift and don't write the 0]

-------

  1 3 6

So, 8*17 is the same as 8*10 + 8*7.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Kelvin wrote 60 the wrong way.

He has to write $30.65 - 60%, not 0.60.

Here is the final correct equation:

$30.65 - 60% = 12.26
