IQ tests are scaled so that the mean score in a largepopulation should be μ =100. We suspect that the very-low-birth-weight popu

lation has mean score less than100. Infants weiging less than 1500 grams at birth are classed as "very low birth weight". Low birth weight carriesmany risks. One study followed 113 male infants with very low birth weight to adulthood. At age 20, the mean IQ score for these men was (x bar=87.6.) Iq scores vary Normally with standard deviation σ=15. Give a 95% confidence interval for the mean IQ score at age 20 for allvery-low-birth-weight males. Use the four-step process for confidence interval.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is  84.83<  \mu < 90.37

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample size is  n  = 113

     The sample mean is  \= x  =  87.6  

      The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  15

     

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

            \alpha  =  100 - 95

             \alpha  =  5\%

             \alpha  =  0.05

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table, the value  is  

              Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

              E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }

=>          E =  1.96  *  \frac{ 15}{ \sqrt{113} }

=>          E =  2.77

The  95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

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

substituting values

        87.6  - 2.77<  \mu < 87.6  + 2.77

        84.83<  \mu < 90.37

What is the solution to the equation below? Round your answer to two
MrRa [10]

Answer:

C. x = 3.71

Step-by-step explanation:

4 + 9(ln x) = 15.8

Subtract 4 from both sides.

9(ln x) = 11.8

Divide both sides by 9.

ln x = 11.8/9

x = e^(11.8/9)

x = 3.71

Can any one help me with these 2 plsss :/
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

6) f=45

7) r=57

Step-by-step explanation:

the angles of a triangle will always add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, for the first one the three inside angles have to be 30, 15, and 135. If 135 is the supplementary angle to f, 45 must be the degree of f.

Same idea for the second one. 180-143=37. so 37+86+r=180. solve for r to get 57.

Dmitry [639]

The total number of student tickets were sold is 183 if the theater production cost $18 for students and $25 for non-students.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let's suppose the x number of students tickets were sold and

y number of tickets were sold for non students.

Then we can frame two linear equations:

x + y = 320 ...(1)

18x + 25y = 6719 ...(2)

From equation (1) take the value of y and plug into the equation (2)

18x + 25(320 - x) = 6719

18x + 8000 - 25x = 6719

7x = 1281

x = 183 tickets

Thus, the total number of student tickets were sold is 183 if the theater production cost $18 for students and $25 for non-students.
