Answer:

\mu = 20.3

\sigma = 4.9

And we can find the limits in order to consider values as significantly low and high like this:

Low\leq \mu -2 \sigma= 20.3- 2*4.9 = 10.5

High\geq \mu +2 \sigma= 20.3+ 2*4.9 = 30.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

For this case we can consider a value to be significantly low if we have that the z  score is lower or equal to - 2 and we can consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is  higher tor equal to 2.

For this case we have the mean and the deviation given:

\mu = 20.3

\sigma = 4.9

And we can find the limits in order to consider values as significantly low and high like this:

Low \leq \mu -2 \sigma= 20.3- 2*4.9 = 10.5

High\geq \mu +2 \sigma= 20.3+ 2*4.9 = 30.1

if a sprinter runs are distance of hundred metres in 9.83 seconds calculate the speed in kilometre per hour​
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

98.3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use stoichometry you can convert your units

9.83 seconds

over 100 meters    a kilometer is 1000 meters so

9.83/100 *10 because what you do to denominator needs to happen to numerator

98.3 seconds

over 1 kilometer

it take the sprinter 98.3 seconds to run a kilometer and one way to check is well a kilo is a longer distance so logically the time it takes them has to be higher cause they cannot run a kilo faster than they run 1/10 of it

Linear function definition: a function that will create a straight line when graphed.

11 is not a linear function (not a straight line), but 12 is.

For the tables, you can either plot out the graph or just look at the number patterns. A linear function's numbers will always increase/decrease accordingly at a constant rate. For example, in 14, you notice that as x increases by 1, y decreases by 2. This means it is a linear graph.

In 13, as x increases by 1, the output y increases but at a different rate each time. It increased by 3 at first, then 5, then 7. Hence, it is not a linear function. What is it then? It is an exponential function.
