Researchers are interested if a school breakfast program leads to taller children. Assume that the population of all 5 year-old

heights are normally distributed with a mean (mu) of 38 inches and a standard deviation (sigma) of 1 inch. The 25 children in the school breakfast program have a mean height of 39 inches. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population mean if all children were in the school breakfast program. Hints: The sample mean should be used in the formula for the 95% confidence interval. Compute the standard error first, then the margin of error.

Answer:

39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608    

39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=39 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=1 represent the population standard deviation

n=25 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The margin of error is given by:

ME= z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

And replacing we got:

ME= 1.96 *\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}= 0.392

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608    

39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)

Scrat [10]

Answer:

1 no

2 I don't know

3 no

4 yes

5 2.5 is the slope

6 -0.5

7 no slope

Step-by-step explanation:

1 no because the y overlaps

2 not sure

3 it over laps

4 it never overlaps

5 y=2.5x-3

6 y=-0.5x+1

7 no slope it's just x=-2

for the 5-7 you can type that into demos and get more info

y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is y intercept

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf h = 6.75 \ in.}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Base area = A_{B} = 108 in.²

Volume = V  = 729 in.³

<u>Required:</u>

Height = h = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

V=A_{B}h

<u>Solution:</u>

For h, rearranging formula:

\displaystyle h = \frac{V}{A_{B}} \\\\h =\frac{729 \ in.^3}{108 \ in.^2} \\\\h = 6.75 \ in.\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

What is the answer to a and b please and thank you
vagabundo [1.1K]
A.) according to the graph, Austin appears to be burning 10 calories per minute. If you look at a perfect point on the graph, which I chose (50,5) and you do x over y or calories per minute, you get a unit rate of 10 calories per minute.

b.) Since you have already found the unit rate in question a, your slope would be 10.
