The u.s. department of health and human services collected sample data for 772 males between the ages of 18 and 24. that sample

group has a mean height of 69.7 inches with a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. find the 99% confidence interval for the mean height of all males between the ages of 18 and 24.

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean is given by:

\bar{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

where: 

\bar{x} is the sample mean = 69.7
\sigma is the standard deviation = 2.8
z_{\alpha/2} is the test statistics = 2.58 for for 99% confidentce interval.
n is the sample size = 772.

Therefore, the 99% confidence interval is:

69.7\pm2.58\left( \frac{2.8}{\sqrt{772}} \right)=69.7\pm2.58(0.1008) \\  \\ =69.7-0.26\leq\mu\leq69.7+0.26 \\  \\ =69.44\leq\mu\leq69.96

Answer: (69.44, 69.96).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 772

Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.99=0.01

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=\pm2.576

Sample mean : \overline{x}=69.7

Standard deviation: \sigma=2.8

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

i.e 69.7\pm(2.576)\dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{772}}

i.e \approx69.7\pm0.26=(69.7-0.26,\ 69.7+0.26)=(69.44,\ 69.96)

Hence, the confidence interval for the mean height ( in inches) of all males between the ages of 18 and 24 is (69.44 , 69.96).

The graph of which function will have a maximum and a y-intercept of 4?
rosijanka [135]
The y-intercept of the equation is the value of the variable y or in this case, f(x), when x is equated to zero. Out of all the choices presented in this item, if x is equated to zero, the first two terms will be equal to zero, leaving the third term only for the numerical value of f(x). 

From the choices presented, the answer would be f(x) = -x2 + 2x + 4. Thus, the answer is the third choice, C.

Multiply............
ZanzabumX [31]
Hey there!

In order to multiply these polynomials together, you will take both terms of the first polynomial and multiply them by each term in the second polynomial. You can then combine any like terms to get your final answer. 

(2x² – 5x)(4x² – 12x + 10)

2x² × 4x² = 8x⁴
2x² × –12x = –24x³
2x² × 10 = 20x²

–5x × 4x² = –20x³
–5x × –12x = 60x²
–5x × 10 = –50x

Write all of these terms together. You can rearrange the similar ones to be next to each other. 

8x⁴ – 24x³ – 20x³ + 20x² + 60x² – 50x

Just add or subtract the terms to simplify, if they can be.

8x⁴ – 44x³ + 80x² – 50x

(8x⁴ – 44x³ + 80x² – 50x) will be your final answer. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Suppose Kalvin spins the pointer 64 times. Based on your experiment, how many times can you expect the pointer to land on 9:00,
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

16 times out of 64

Step-by-step explanation:

So, I could be wrong, but basically:

9, 10, and 11 are only 3 of the 12 possible outcomes that could happen.

3 out of 12 is 1/4.

What this means is that for every 4 times he spins the pointer, he can expect to get 9, 10, or 10 once.

Or 25% of the time

1/4 of 64 is 16.
