Answer:
The margin of error that corresponds to a 95% confidence interval is 4.96.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard error(which is the same as the standard deviation of the sample), so we use the students t-distribution to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. There are 6 days, so
df = 6 - 1 = 5
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 35 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of ). So we have T = 2.5706
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 2.5706*1.93 = 4.96
The margin of error that corresponds to a 95% confidence interval is 4.96.
The trig function sine, often abbreviated as "sin" (pronounced the same way as "sine"), is essentially the ratio or fraction of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. See the attached image for a reference.
The leg opposite angle B is side AC. Note how B is not present in the sequence "AC". Visually, we are as far away as possible from point B. This side is 16 units long. So AC = 16
The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle. Always always always. This longest side is opposite the largest angle (90 degrees). Therefore the hypotenuse is BC = 17.46
In summary so far, we have,
opposite side = AC = 16
hypotenuse BC = 17.46
Let's use those values to compute sin(B)
sin(Angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(B) = AC/BC
sin(B) = 16/17.46
sin(B) = 0.916 (this is approximate)
sin(B) = 0.92 (rounding to nearest hundredth)
This points to the final answer of choice A) 0.92
