A university with a high water bill is interested in estimating the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each d

ay. In a sample of 12 students, the average time was 4.75 minutes and the standard deviation was 1.26 minutes. Using this sample information, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each day. Assume normality.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 99% confidence interval for the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each day.

Number of sample, n = 12

Mean, u = 4.75 minutes

Standard deviation, s = 1.26 minutes

For a confidence level of 99%, the corresponding z value is 2.58. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

4.75 ± 2.58 × 1.26/√12

= 4.75 ± 2.58 × 0.364

= 4.75 ± 0.939

The lower end of the confidence interval is 4.75 - 0.939 = 3.811

The upper end of the confidence interval is 4.75 + 0.939 =5.689

Therefore, with 99% confidence interval, the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each day is between 3.811 minutes and 5.689 minutes

Find the vertex of the graph of the function.
boyakko [2]

vertex = (10, - 8)

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

f(x) = (x - 10)² - 8 is in this form with (h, k) = (10, - 8) ← vertex

What is the x and y equal in y=8x+1 and y=3x+26
Alla [95]

Answer:

x=5, y=41

Step-by-step explanation:

Because both equations are equal to Y, you can set them equal to each other like this:

8x+1=3x+26

From here, solve for x:

1. 5x+1=26

2. 5x=25

3. x=5

Once you have x, plug it back in to one of the original equations:

y=8(5)+1

y=41 and then you have your answer

If this answer was particularly helpful, please feel free to give it brainliest!! I would greatly appreciate it.

What are the solution points for the system graph?
JulsSmile [24]

The solution points to the system graph are (–2,–4) and (4,8). Therefore, option A is correct.

We need to find the solution to the given function.

<h3>How to find the solution to the function from the graph?</h3>

The solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. To solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system. The solution to the system will be at the point where the two lines intersect.

From the given graph we can see that the two functions are intersecting at (–2,–4) and (4,8).

The solution points to the system graph are (–2,–4) and (4,8). Therefore, option A is correct.
