Answer:

For 99% of confidence interval is 67.5±1.3524

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean height =67.5 inches

Standard deviation:2.1 inches

Z at 99%.

No of samples 16.

To find:

confidence interval

Solution:

We have formula for confidence interval,

=mean ±Z*{standard deviation/sqrt(no.of observation)}

Now

Z=99%

has standard value as ,

Z=2.576

Confidence interval= mean±Z{standard deviation/sqrt(No. of samples)}

=67.5±2.57{(2.1/sqrt(16)}

=67.5±2.576(2.1/4)

=67.5±1.3524

On a coordinate plane, 2 straight lines are shown. The first solid line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 2) an

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$y\geq x-2$

$x+2y$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

<em>Find the equation of the first inequality</em>

Find the equation of the first solid line

we have the ordered pairs

(0,-2) and (2,0)

<u><em>Find the slope</em></u>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{0+2}{2-0}$

$m=\frac{2}{2}$

$m=1$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=1$

$b=-2$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=x-2$

Remember that

Everything to the left of the solid line is shaded

so

The inequality is

$y\geq x-2$

step 2

<em>Find the equation of the second inequality</em>

Find the equation of the second dashed line

we have the ordered pairs

(0,2) and (4,0)

<u><em>Find the slope</em></u>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{0-2}{4-0}$

$m=\frac{-2}{4}$

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

$b=2$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+2$

Remember that

Everything below and to the left of the line is shaded

so

The inequality is

$y$

Rewrite

Multiply by 2 both sides

$2y$

$x+2y$

therefore

The system of inequalities is

$y\geq x-2$

$x+2y$

Kaden works 5 days. The median number of hours he works is 3. The mean number of hours he works is 4.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(a) 1, 2, 3, 6, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Median = 3$

$Mean = 4$

Required

The sequence of hours worked each day

<em>See attachment for options</em>

From the question, we understand that:

$Median = 3$

This means that, the middle number is 3 (when sorted)

So, we can conclude that (b) and (c) cannot be true because their middle numbers are 6 and 5 respectively

Next, is to determine the mean of (a) and (d)

The mean of a data is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

(a)

$\bar x = \frac{1+ 2+ 3+ 6+ 8}{5}$

$\bar x = \frac{20}{5}$

$\bar x = 4$

(d)

$\bar x = \frac{1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ 5}{5}$

$\bar x = \frac{15}{5}$

$\bar x = 3$

Option (a) is true, because it has:

$Median = 3$

$Mean = 4$

Well, assuming that you need to round to the nearest whole number, what is six closer to? 0, or 10? The answer is 10. Therefore, you would round up to 33. Hope this helps!
