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)

24) sin x = 1/3<br> Find cos x.
liq [111]

Answer:

\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine of an angle is defined as the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse of a given right-angled triangle;

sin x = ( opposite / hypotenuse)

The opposite side to the angle x is thus 1 unit while the hypotenuse is 3 units. We need to determine the adjacent side to the angle x. We use the Pythagoras theorem since we are dealing with right-angled triangle;

The adjacent side would be;

\sqrt{9-1}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}

The cosine of an angle is given as;

cos x = (adjacent side / hypotenuse)

Therefore, the cos x would be;

\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{3}

How many solutions does this equation have?
Leto [7]

Answer:

The given equation having only one solution i.e., "w = 3". A further explanation is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

⇒ 9(w-9)-2=-7w+7(w-8)

By opening the brackets, we get

⇒ 9w-81-2=-7w+7w-56

⇒ 9w-83=-56

On adding "83" both sides, we get

⇒ 9w-83+83=-56+83

⇒                 9w=27

⇒                   w=\frac{27}{9}

⇒                       =3
