Five students visiting the student health center for a free dental examination during National Dental Hygiene Month were asked h

Andrews [41]

Answer:

[0.9 months, 32.69 months]

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is

$\bf \bar x=\frac{5+17+12+21+29}{5}=16.8$

The standard deviation is

$\bf s=\sqrt{\frac{(5-16.8)^2+(17-16.8)^2+(12-16.8)^2+(21-16.8)^2+(29-16.8)^2}{5}}=8.1092$

Now, we have to find two values a and b such that the area under the Normal curve with mean 16.8 and standard deviation 8.1092 between a and b equals <em>95% = 0.95 </em>

Using a spreadsheet we find these values are

a = 0.906

b = 32.694

and our 95% confidence interval for the mean number of months elapsed since the last visit to a dentist for the population of students participating in the program rounded to two decimal places is

[0.9 months, 32.69 months]

if you were to solve the following system by substitution what would be the best variable to solve and from what equation? 2x+8y

Nina [5.8K]

All the numbers in the first equation have a common factor of 2. Removing that gives
.. x +4y = 6
making it easy to solve for x
.. x = 6 -4y

My choice would be to solve for x using the first equation.

_____
On second thought, it might actually be easier to solve either equation for 8y. That term then directly substitutes into the other equation (equivalent to adding the two equations).
.. 8y = 3x -11 . . . . . from the second equation
.. 2x +(3x -11) = 12 . . . substituting into the first equation
.. 5x = 23 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 11 (what you would get by adding the equations in the first place)
.. x = 4.6
.. y = (3*4.6 -11)/8 = 0.35
