Answer:

10.108 < \mu < 13.892    

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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 means 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.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

We have the following distribution for the random variable:

X \sim N(\mu , \sigma=0.45)

And by the central theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}} (3)  

The mean calculated for this case is \bar X=12

The sample deviation calculated s=2.268

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=8-1=7

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,7)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.36

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

12-2.36\frac{2.268}{\sqrt{8}}=10.108    

12+2.36\frac{2.268}{\sqrt{8}}=13.892

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (10.108;13.892)

10.108 < \mu < 13.892

What is the angular velocity of a 6–foot pendulum that takes 3 seconds to complete an arc of 14.13 feet? Use 3.14 for π.
RoseWind [281]
The angular velocity is defined by the position angle over time.
Get first the position angle of the pendulum which has the formula of s = rθ where s = arc length, r = radius (or length of the pendulum's string), and θ = position angle. Getting θ, we have <span>θ = s/r = 14.13 ft / 6 ft = 2.355 rad
Thus, the angular velocity is </span>θ/t where t = time; so 2.355 rad / 3 sec = 0.785 rad/sec
Hope this helps.
