The data below were obtained from an experiment were participants were given drinks with or without caffeine and then asked to t

ap their fingers. The data for 20 participants are below. Assume the number of taps per minute is normally distributed. The variance is unknown. Find a 95% CI for μ number of taps. Identify the pivot function used. 246 242 248 245 250 244 252 248 248 247 250 248 246 242 248 244 245 246 250 242

Answer:

The  95% confidence interval is  244.26  <  \mu < 246.95  

The pivot function used is  

           t = \frac{\=x - \mu}{ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  data given is 246 242 248 245 250 244 252 248 248 247 250 248 246 242 248 244 245 246 250 242

  The  sample  size is  n=  20

   

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is

      \alpha = (100 - 95)\%

      \alpha =  0.05

The  degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

    df =  20 -1

    df =  19

From the student t-distribution table  the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2}  is  

          t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} ,  19 } =  2.093

The mean is mathematically represented as

          \= x  = \frac{\sum x_i}{ n}

         \= x  = \frac{246+ 242 +248+245+ 250+ 244+252+ 248 +248 +247+ 250+ 248+ 246+ 242 +248 +244 +245 +246+ 250+ 242}{20}\= x  =  246.6

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

            \sigma  = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i -  \= x )^2)}{n} }

           \sigma  = \sqrt{\frac{(246- 246.6)^2 +(242- 246.6)^2 +(248- 246.6)^2 + (248- 245)^2+}{20} } \ ..

             \ ...\sqrt{\frac{(250-246.6 )^2+ (244- 246.6)^2+(252- 246.6)^2+ (248- 246.6)^2+ (248- 246.6)^2+}{20} } \ ...

              \ ..\sqrt{\frac{(247- 246.6)^2+ (250- 246.6)^2+ (248-246.6)^2+ (246-246.6)^2+  (242-246.6)^2+  (248-246.6)^2+ (244-246.6)^2+}{20} } \ ...       \sqrt{\frac{ (245-246.6)^2+  (246-246.6)^2+ ( 246-246.6)^2 + ( 250-246.6)^2+ ( 242-246.6)^2 +( 246-246.6)^2+ ( 242-246.6)^2 }{20} }\sigma =  2.87411

The margin of error is mathematically represented as

       E =  t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} , 19} *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

      E =  2.093 *  \frac{2.87411 }{\sqrt{20} }

      E =  1.345

The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

       \= x  -  E  <  \mu < \= x  +  E

=>   245.6 - 1.345  <  \mu

=>    244.26  <  \mu < 246.95  

The pivot function used is  

           t = \frac{\=x - \mu}{ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

Find the limit. Use l'Hospital's Rule if appropriate. If there is a more elementary method, consider using it. lim x→0+ (2x + 1)
ElenaW [278]

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0^+}(2x+1)\cot x=\lim_{x\to0^+}\frac{2x+1}{\tan x}

As x\to0, the numerator approaches 1 while \tan x\to0, but since x\to0 from above we have \tan x>0, which suggests the limit is +\infty.

1. Round this number to the nearest hundred.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

1. 320   2. 580

Step-by-step explanation:

when you round 320, it is 320 because the hundredths place is 0, which is under 5 so the numbers wouldn't change.

When you round 579, the hundredths place is a 9, which is over 5 so you add 1 to seven to get 8.

What is the volume of this sphere?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Option c. 11,488.21 cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

we know that

The volume of the sphere is equal to

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

we have

r=28/2=14\ cm ---> the radius is half the diameter

\pi =3.14

substitute

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(14)^{3}

V=11,488.21\ cm^3

The <em>total surface</em> area of the three figures are 702 square feet.

<h3>How to estimate the amount of metal needed to produce a given amount of figures</h3>

According to this problem, we are required to determine the amount of metal needed to build three pieces with the dimensions presented in the figure.

In this case, we need to estimate the <em>total</em> surface area (A_{T}), in square feet, required for the production of the three pieces, that is, the product of the number of pieces (<em>n</em>), no unit, and the surface area of each piece (<em>A</em>).

Now we proceed to calculate the total surface area:

A_{T} = n\cdot A

A_{T} = 3\cdot \left[(5\,ft)\cdot (8\,ft) + (2\,ft)\cdot (8\,ft)+(8\,ft)\cdot (7\,ft)+(3\,ft)\cdot (8\,ft) \\

+(5\,ft)\cdot (8\,ft)+2\cdot (3\,ft)\cdot (5\,ft) + 2\cdot (4\,ft)\cdot (2\,ft) + (3\,ft)\cdot (4\,ft) ]

A_{T} = 702\,ft^{2}

The <em>total surface</em> area of the three figures are 702 square feet. \blacksquare

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Its different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry's garden:

divide 24 and 18 by 6: you get 4:3 ratio of tomato:green bean

Simon's garden:

divide both 30 and 25 by 5: you get 6:5 ratio of tomato:green bean.
