Answer: 24.67 ≤ μ ≤ 27.33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given: n = 81 students, Sample mean (x bar) = 26 and sample standard deviation (s) = 6.

Since the population standard deviation in unknown we use the student t distribution to estimate the mean. The mean is estimated as follows:

X bar - t (∝/2, n-1) x s/sqrt n ≤ μ ≤ X bar + t (∝/2, n-1) x s/sqrt n

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 81 - 1 = 80

∝ = 100 - 95 = 5% = 0.05   thus ∝/2 = 0.025

From the t distribution t (0.025,80) = 1.990

Substituting into the formula:

26 - 1.990 x 6/sqrt 81 ≤ μ ≤ 26 + 1.990 x 6/sqrt 81

24.67 ≤ μ ≤ 27.33

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: a) Length of wire to replace old one=9ft

b) Length of wire=3.09ft

Leftover wire=0.91ft

Step-by-step explanation: from the right angle triangle, Tan&=20/15

&=53.13°

Length of wire,x=cos 31.13=x/15

15cos31.13

X=9

b) Tan&=10/6

Tan^-110/6

&=59.05

Length= 6cos59.04

X=3.09

4-3.09=.91= leftover wire

Find the area of the regular 18-gon with a radius of 3 mm. <br> Round to the nearest tenth.
marta [7]

Answer:

this becomes 1/2 * 6 * tan(10) * 3 which results in the area of one of the isosceles triangles is equal to 1.586942826 square units. since there are 18 of these isosceles triangles in the polygon, then multiply this by 18 to get area of the polygon with 18 sides is equal to 28.56497087 square units.

Angle A and Angle B are Complementary Angles. If Angle A measures 40 degrees, what is the measure of Angle B? *
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle A and angle B are complementary, that would mean that their sum is 90 degrees. A + B = 90 . We know that angle A is 40, so 40 + B = 90. It becomes a one step equation. Subtract both sides by 40. 90 - 40 = 50. Angle B is equal to 50 degrees.
