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)

Find the following:
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Limit refers to the value that the function approaches as the input approaches some value.

We say \displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow a}f(x)=L, if f(x) approaches L as x approaches 'a'.

(a)

\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\left ( \frac{f(x)-8}{x-5} \right )=4\\\frac{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}8}{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}5}=4\\

\frac{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8}{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-5}=4\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=4\left ( \displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-5 \right )\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=4\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-4(5)\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=4(5)-4(5)\\

\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=20-20=0\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)=8

(b)

\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\left ( \frac{f(x)-8}{x-5} \right )=7\\\frac{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}8}{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}5}=7\\\frac{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8}{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-5}=7\\

\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=7\left ( \displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-5 \right )\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=7\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-7(5)\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=7(5)-7(5)\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=35-35=0\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)=8

Licemer1 [7]
The answer is 39, jk=18 because j multiplied by k is 18 and then i added 3 and i got 21, then k (6) multiplied by 3 is 18, so then i added 21 and 18 and i got 39
