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.

In your own words, describe the process of multiplying binomials using the FOIL method. You can either write a paragraph describ
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

We can describe FOIL using the distributive property of multiplication. For real numbers x, y, and z the distributive property of multiplication states that

(x + y)z = xz + yz

Now let z = v + w, where v and w are real numbers.

Then (x + y)(v + w) = x(v + w) + y(v + w)

Here, we can again use the distributive property of multiplication to get

x(v + w) + y(v + w) = xv + xw + yv + yw

Hence, it follows that

(x + y)(v + w) = xv + xw + yv + yw

This is the method of FOIL (first: xv, outside: xw, inside: yv, last: yw)

For example, (1 + 2)(3 + 4) = 21 \\\text{and} \\1(3) + 1(4) + 2(3) + 2(4) = 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 21

What is the answer to linear equation: 5 = 6 - 7c
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

c = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to solve the linear equation.

We need to find the value of c.

5 = 6 - 7c

Isolate the variable and constants

Add 7c on both sides, we get

7c + 5 = 6 - 7c + 7c

7c + 5 = 6

Subtract 5 from both sides, we get

7c + 5 - 5 = 6 - 5

7c = 1

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

c = 1/7

Thank you.

 If the equation y = 15x + 2 is changed to y = 15x - 4, how will the graph of the line change?
igomit [66]
The y-intercept is changed from 2 to -4.

That means that the point that the graph crosses the y axis has been moved down by 6.

Since the slope of the line has not changed, this just means the graph of the line will be moved down by 6.

Hope this helps!
