B. (34506.12, 50799.88)

Answer:

C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96*\frac{9114}{\sqrt{8}} = 6315.68

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42653 - 6315.68 = 36337.32.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42653 + 6315.68 = 48968.68.

So the correct answer is:

C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

What is the value of triangle in the equation shown? 8 x 4 = (triangle x 7) - (triangle x 3)
GarryVolchara [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  triangle = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The right side can be factored so that you have ...

  8 x 4 = (triangle x 7) - (triangle x 3)

  8 x 4 = triangle x (7 - 3) . . . . use the distributive property

  8 x 4 = triangle x 4 . . . . . . simplify

  8 = triangle . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 4

Do you agree? Explain why or why not.
Lelu [443]

Answer:

if x = 4

\sqrt{8 + 1} + 3 = 0

\sqrt{9} + 3 = 0

3 + 3 = 0

6 = 0

wrong.
