Answer:

$65,351+/-$3,661.73

= ( $61,689.27, $69,012.73)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $61,689.27, $69,012.73)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = $65,351

Standard deviation r = $7,711

Number of samples n = 12

Confidence interval = 90%

z(at 90% confidence) = 1.645

Substituting the values we have;

$65,351+/-1.645($7,711/√12)

$65,351+/-1.645($2,225.973962860)

$65,351+/-$3661.727168905

$65,351+/-$3,661.73

= ( $61,689.27, $69,012.73)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $61,689.27, $69,012.73)

Find the solution of the differential equation that satisfies the given initial condition. (du)/(dt) = (2t + sec^2 t)/(2u), u(0)
Delicious77 [7]
Ah okay so in differential equations you usually want the top variable isolated. To do this, multiply by dt and 2u and you get
2udu = 2t + { \sec(t) }^{2} dt
Now just integrate both sides. The integral of 2u with respect to u is u². The integral of (2t + sec²(t) with respect to t is t² + ∫sec²(t)dt. The last part is just tan(x) because d/dt(tan(t)) is sec²(t) so just integrating gets us back. Now we have
{u}^{2}   + c =  {t}^{2}  +  \tan(t)  + k
Where c and k are arbitrary constants. Subtracting c from k and you get
{u}^{2}  =  {t}^{2}  +  \tan(t)  + b
Where b is another constant. To find b, just plug in u(0) = -1 where u is -1 and t is 0. This becomes
1 =  \tan(0)  + b
tan(0) is 0 so b = 1. Take the plus or minus square root on both sides and you finally get
u =  \: { {t}^{2} }  +  \tan(t)  + 1
But Brainly didn't let me do but juat remember there is a plus or minus square root on the left.
