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 mean of this data set? {6, 11, 5, 2, 7} Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The mean is 6.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The "mean" is the same thing as the "average". Essentially, the question is asking for the average of the numbers.

So:

Add up all of the terms. [6 + 11 + 5 + 2 + 7] = 31

You find the average by dividing the sum of the terms (31) by the number of terms (5).

31/5 = 6.2

The mean is 6.2.

I hope this helped! :)

14 + 2(x – 3) = 4(x + 4)
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute

combine like terms

subtract 4x from both sides

subtract 8 from both sides

divide both sides by -2

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

1). 183

2). 83

3). 353

4). -2652

5). 59

6). 510

7). -293

8). 79

9). 78

10). 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering order of operation, parenthesis must be simplified first.

The solutions to the given questions are shown below;

1). \ \ 5+(7\times (3+2)^2) + 3=8 +  (7\times (5)^2)  = 8 + (7\times 25) = 8 + 175 = 183

2). \ 16+(8+ (6+2)^2) - 5=16-5 +  (8+ (8)^2)  = 11 + (8+64) = 11 + 72 = 83

3). \ (15+ 3)^2 + ((14+6)+3^2)= (18)^2 + ((20) + 9) = 324 + (29) = 353

4). \ ((11+ 2)-(24+2)^2)\times 2^2 = (13 - 676) \times 4  = (-663)\times 4 = -2652

5). \ ((4+3)^2+ 6) -5+3^2= (49 + 6) - 5 + 9= (49+6+9) - 5 = 64-5 = 59

6). \ (20+ 2)^2 +((15+7)+2^2)= (484) + (22+ 4)= 484 + 26 =510

7). \ ((12 + 4)- (15+3)^2+ 5^2 = (16 -  324) + 25 = -318 + 25 = -293

8). \ (6^2+ (24+ 3+5^2)) - 3^2= (36 + (52)) - 9 = (88) - 9 = 79

9). \ ((10-4)^2\times 2) + 2 + 2^2= ((6)^2 \times 2) + 2 + 4 = (36\times 2)+ 6 = 72 + 6 = 78

10). \ (7^2 + (16 + 8 + 2^2)) + 3^2 = (49 + 28) + 9 = 78 + 9 = 87
