Let
n = number of data
s = standard deviation (sample)
S = standard deviation (population)

The working equations is

\frac{(n-1) s^{2} }{ x^{2}_{right} }  \ \textless \   S^{2} \ \textless \   \frac{(n-1) s^{2} }{ x^{2}_{left} }

To find x^{2}_{right}, : (1 - 0.90)/2 = 0.05

To find x^{2}_{left}, : 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

Degrees of freedom = n-1 = 24 - 1 = 23

This is shown in the figure attached. Since there is no row for df=23, we interpolate. Thus,

 x^{2}_{left} = 13.093 

 x^{2}_{right} = 35.17 


Substitute all values,

\frac{(24-1) 5.6^{2} }{ 35.17} \ \textless \ S^{2} \ \textless \ \frac{(24-1)  5.6^{2} }{ 13.093} }

Thus the answer is,

20.51\  \textless \ S^{2} \ \textless \ 55.09

a chord of 12cm long of 8cm is away from the of the circle what is the lenght of the chord which is 6cm away from the centre
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The length of the chord is 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, a line from the center of the circle to a chord divides the chord into 2 equal portions

From the first part of the question, we can get the radius of the circle

The radius form the hypotenuse, the two-portions of the chord (12/2 = 6 cm) and the distance from the center to the chord forms the other side of the triangle

Thus, by Pythagoras’ theorem; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus,

r^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

r^2= 64 + 36

r^2 = 100

r = 10 cm

Now, we want to get a chord length which is 6 cm away from the circle center

let the half-portion that forms the right triangle be c

Using Pythagoras’ theorem;

10^2 = 6^2 + c^2

c^2 = 100-36

c^2 = 64

c = 8

The full

length of the chord is 2 * 8 = 16 cm

Gail is making costumes for a school play. Each rabbit costume needs one and one half yards of white fur fabric, a yard of blue
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Gail will need 12 yards of white fur, 8 yards of blue striped and 2 yards of the pink felt.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of yards for making one costume of different fabrics are,

White fur fabric = 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} yards

Blue striped fabric = 1 yard

Pink felt for ears = \frac{1}{4} yards.

So, we have,

The amount required to make 8 costumes are,

White fur fabric = \frac{3}{2}\times 8 = 3×4 = 12 yards

Blue striped fabric = 1×8 = 8 yards

Pink felt for ears = \frac{1}{4}\times 8 = 2 yards.

Thus, Gail will need 12 yards of white fur, 8 yards of blue striped and 2 yards of the pink felt.

A philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year. If the fund initially has $450,000 how much will
Ann [662]

After 7 years fund balance will be $2152336.05 if the philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent. \rm y = a^x

where a is a constant and a>1

We have:

A philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.

We can find the amount left after 7 years as follows:

A = 450000(1 - 0.1)⁷

10% of a fund each year.

Rate r = 10% = 0.1

A = 450000(0.9)⁷

A = $2152336.05

Thus, after 7 years fund balance will be $2152336.05 if the philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.
