Answer:

a) Point estimate of the population mean = 4.883

b) B.There is 95​% confidence that the population mean pH of rain water is between 4.646 and 5.120.

c) C.There is 99​% confidence that the population mean pH of rain water is between 4.549 and 5.217.

d) As the level of confidence​ increases, the width of the interval increases.

This makes sense since the margin of error increases as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample for the pH of rain.

The mean of the sample is:

M=\dfrac{1}{12}\sum_{i=1}^{12}(5.3+5.72+4.38+4.8+5.02+...+4.56+4.68)\\\\\\ M=\dfrac{58.59}{12}=4.883

The sample standard deviation is:

s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(n-1)}\sum_{i=1}^{12}(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{11}\cdot [(5.3-4.883)^2+(5.72-4.883)^2+...+(4.68-4.883)^2]}\\\\\\

s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{11}\cdot [(0.17)+...+(0.1)+(0.04)]}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.526625}{11}}=\sqrt{0.1387841}\\\\\\s=0.373

a) The point estimation for the population mean is the sample mean and has a value of 4.883.

b) We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=4.883.

The sample size is N=12.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{0.373}{\sqrt{12}}=\dfrac{0.373}{3.464}=0.108

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval is t=2.201.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s_M=2.201 \cdot 0.108=0.237

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 4.883-0.237=4.646\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 4.883+0.237=5.12

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is (4.646, 5.120).

B.There is 95​% confidence that the population mean pH of rain water is between 4.646 and 5.120.

c) We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean.

The t-value for a 99% confidence interval is t=3.106.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s_M=3.106 \cdot 0.108=0.334

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 4.883-0.334=4.549\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 4.883+0.334=5.217

The 99% confidence interval for the mean is (4.549, 5.217).

C.There is 99​% confidence that the population mean pH of rain water is between 4.549 and 5.217.

d) When the confidence level is increased, the width also increases as it has to include more possible values for the true mean of the population.

As the level of confidence​ increases, the width of the interval increases.

This makes sense since the margin of error increases as well.

Am I correct on number 3? If not whats the correct answer? And what is the answer for number 4? Will be marking brainliest!!​
timama [110]

Answer for number 4 is \frac{\bold2}{\bold3} hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum hour spent for all homework (English homework + math homework) is 2 hours.

Let us assume the hours spent for English homework be 'e'.

It is given that:

(Hours spent for math homework) = 2 × (Hours spent for English homework)

Hours spent for math homework = 2 × e = 2e

Total hours spent = (Hours spent for math homework) + (Hours spent for English homework)

Total hours spent = 2e + e = 3e

2 = 3e

3e = 2

∴ e = \frac{\bold2}{\bold3}

Therefore number of hours spent on English homework is equal to \frac{\bold2}{\bold3} hours.

So if a video that is 15:34 how long is it when 2 times speed
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

7:47

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are two ways of solving this:

The video will be half the time of 15:34, so you need to divide the time 15:34 by 2.

Method 1)

Use the tip. The video is 15 minutes and 34 seconds long.

Convert minutes to seconds: 15 * 60 = 900

Add 34 seconds to the 15 minutes: 900 seconds + 34 seconds = 934 seconds

The video is 934 seconds long.

Divide the total seconds by 2: 934/2 = 467

467 seconds = 420 seconds + 47 seconds = 7 minutes and 47 seconds

Answer: 7:47

Method 2)

Divide the minutes by 2 and divide the seconds by 2.

15 minutes and 34 seconds.

Divide minutes by 2: 15/2 = 7.5

Divide seconds by 2: 34/2 = 17

Now we need to add 7.5 minutes and 34 seconds.

0.5 minutes is half a minute, so it's 30 seconds.

7.5 minutes + 17 seconds =

= 7 minutes + 0.5 minute + 17 seconds

= 7 minutes + 30 seconds + 17 seconds

= 7 minutes + 47 seconds

= 7:47

What are the steps on finding common denominators. PLEASE HELP
Dmitrij [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

to find a common denominator, you have to find a number that "works" with every other number.

for example, say you have

2/4 and 8/12

First you need to find the common factor between 4 and 12, so list all your fours

4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Now list all your twelves

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

to find the common factor you look at both your list of numbers and find one that's the same, sometimes it takes a long list of numbers to find the common factor, but you will run into one.

So by looking at our list we see that 4 and 12 share the common factor of 12. but since 8/12 already has a denominator of 12, we are going to leave it alone.

now think about what you would multiply 4 by, to get to 12. The answer is

4 x 3 = 12

to make the numerator correct, you multiply it by the same number you did 4, so since your faction is 2/4 you should do 2 x 3 = 6

now you have your answer,

2/4 and 8/12 turns into

6/12 and 8/12

and that's how you find it, let me know if you have questions :)
