Answer:

\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=43.195

\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=14.573

b. 14.573 and 43.195.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

2) Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}

We need on this case to calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=28-1=27

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table for the Chis square distribution with 27 degrees of freedom to find the critical values. We need a value that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the left tail and 0.025 of the area on the right tail.  

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.025,27)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.975,27)". so for this case the critical values are:

\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=43.195

\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=14.573

b. 14.573 and 43.195.

Explain Well please.
Art [367]
The answer is C,
as she uses SSS to prove its congruent, she uses sides instead of angles so option a and d is not correct. as it needs to prove triangle pqr is congruent to triangle sqr, its not necessary to prove PQ is equal to QR. so the answer is c

Which of the relations given by the following sets of ordered pairs is a function?
adell [148]
Functions cannot have the same X value (the first number), but they can have the same Y value (the second number).
<span>A. {(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(2,1),(1,0)}
B. {(2,−8),(6,4),(−3,9),(2,0),(−5,3)}
C. {(1,−3),(1,−1),(1,1),(1,3),(1,5)}
D. {(−2,5),(7,5),(−4,0),(3,1),(0,−6)}

Choice A. has two repeating X values [(1,2) and (1,0), (2,3) and (2,1)]
Choice B. has one repeating X value [(2, -8) and (2,0)]
Choice C. all has a repeating X value (1)
Choice D doesn't have any repeating X values.

In short, your answer would be choice D [</span><span>{(−2,5),(7,5),(−4,0),(3,1),(0,−6)}] because it does not have any repeating X values.</span>
