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

ow many months had passed since their last visit to a dentist. Their responses were as follows. 5 15 12 22 27 Assuming that these five students can be considered a random sample of all students participating in the free checkup program, construct a 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. (Give the answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the mean number of months is between a lower limit of 6.67 months and an upper limit of 25.73 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given as mean +/- margin of error (E)

Data: 5, 15, 12, 22, 27

mean = (5+15+12+22+27)/5 = 81/5 = 16.2 months

sd = sqrt[((5-16.2)^2 + (15-16.2)^2 + (12-16.2)^2 + (22-16.2)^2 + (27-16.2)^2) ÷ 5] = sqrt(58.96) = 7.68 months

n = 5

degree of freedom = n-1 = 5-1 = 4

confidence level (C) = 95% = 0.95

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 = 5%

critical value (t) corresponding to 4 degrees of freedom and 5% significance level is 2.776

E = t×sd/√n = 2.776×7.68/√5 = 9.53 months

Lower limit of mean = mean - E = 16.2 - 9.53 = 6.67 months

Upper limit of mean = mean + E = 16.2 + 9.53 = 25.73 months

95% confidence interval is (6.67, 25.73)

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5}{6} +\frac{2}{3} \\\\=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{2*2}{2*3}  \\\\=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{4}{6} \\\\=\frac{5+4}{6} \\\\=\frac{9}{6} \\\\=\frac{3*3}{3*2} \\\\=\frac{3}{2}

=\frac{2+1}{2} \\\\=\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}  \\\\=1+\frac{1}{2}

A school has a goal of getting at least 2000 boxtops. They have 872 so far. They have 8 days left to get it. At least how many d
True [87]

Answer:

School needs to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total requirement of box tops = 2,000

The number of box tops they have already received = 872

So, the box tops left = Total number required- Number of tops received

                                  =2,000 - 872

                                   = 1,128 box tops are left so far.

Number of days left = 8

So, number of minimum tops needed each day = \frac{\textrm{Total tops required}}{\textrm{Number of days left}}

                                                = \frac{1128}{8} = 141

Hence, they need to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.

Explain how to use the vertex and the value of “A” to determine the range of an absolute value function. PLEASE HELP!!
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

First, a absolute value function is something like:

y = f(x) = IxI

remember how this work:

if x ≥ 0, IxI = x

if x ≤ 0, IxI = -x

Notice that I0I = 0.

And the range of this function is all the possible values of y.

For example for the parent function IxI, the range will be all the positive reals and the zero.

First, if A is the value of the vertex of the absolute function, then we know that A is the maximum or the minimum value of the function.

Now, if the arms of the graph open up, then we know that A is the minimum of the function, and the range will be:

y ≥ A

Or all the real values equal to or larger than A.

if the arms of the graph open downwards, then A is the maximum of the function, and we have that the range is:

y ≤ A

Or "All the real values equal to or smaller than A"
