A statistics teacher started class one day by drawing the names of 10 students out of a hat and asked them to do as many pushups

as they could. The 10 randomly selected students averaged 15 pushups per person with a standard deviation of 9 pushups.Suppose the distribution of the population of number of pushups that can be done is approximately normal. The 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of pushups that can be done is
a. 13.02 to 16.98.
b. 8.56 to 21.40.
c. 11.31 to 18.55.
d. 5.75 to 24.25.

Answer:  b. 8.56 to 21.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  \mu be the  mean number of pushups that can be done.

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 10

Degree of freedom = n-1=9

Sample mean : \overline{x}=15

Sample standard deviation : s=9

Significance level : α=1-0.95=0.05

From t- distribution table ,

Critical two -tailed t-value for α=0.05 and df = 9 is

t_{\alpha/2, 9}=t_{0.025,9}=2.2622

Confidence interval for \mu is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm t*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

=15\pm (2.2622)\dfrac{9}{\sqrt{10}}\\\\\approx 15\pm 6.44=(15-6.44,\ 15+6.44)\\\\=(8.56,\ 21.44)

Hence, the  95% confidence interval for the true mean number of pushups that can be done is 8.56 to 21.44.

What should happen to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

If two expressions are equal to each other, and you add the same value to both sides of the equation, the equation will remain equal. When you solve an equation, you find the value of the variable that makes the equation true. In order to solve the equation, you isolate the variable

△STR≅△LMN, SR=7b+8, and LN=11b−12. Find b and SR.
Goryan [66]

Given:

\Delta STR\cong \Delta LMN

SR=7b+8

LN=11b-12

To find:

The value of b and SR.

Solution:

We have,

\Delta STR\cong \Delta LMN                          (Given)

ST\cong LN                                  (CPCTC)

ST=LN

Substituting the given values, we get

7b+8=11b-12

7b-11b=-8-12

-4b=-20

Divide both sides by -4.

\dfrac{-4b}{-4}=\dfrac{-20}{-4}

b=5

Now,

SR=7b+8

SR=7(5)+8

SR=35+8

SR=43

Therefore, the value of b is 5 and the measure of SR is 43 units.
