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

 For the equation 2n - 3 = 7
Stells [14]

Answer:

The variable is n

The coefficient is 2

And the solution to n is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number in the equation is the variable. The coefficient is the number before the variable. And a number next to a letter means you multiply. So 2*5=10 10-3=7

Which of the following is the graph of y=sqr root -x-3
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=\sqrt{-x-3}

we know that

The radicand must be greater than or equal to zero

so

(-x-3)\geq 0

solve for x

Adds 3 both sides

-x\geq 0+3

-x\geq 3

Multiply by -1 both sides

Remember that, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

x\leq -3

so

The domain of the function is the interval (-∞,-3]

For x=-3 ---> the value of y=0

The range is the interval {0,∞)

therefore

What is the answer to question 41
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

an = 6 +5(n-1)

an = 1 +5n

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for an arithmetic term is

an =a1 +d(n-1)

where a1 is the 1st term and d is the common difference

an = 6 +5(n-1)

We can distribute the 5

an = 6+5n-5

an = 1 +5n

The measure of angle B is 65.8°. find the measure of the complement and supplement of angle B.​
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The fourth choice

24.2° and 114.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90°

Supplementary angles add up to 180°

*a trick to remember this is to know that C is before S in the alphabet, and 90 is before 180, so Complementary is 90 and Supplementary is 180

Step 1:  Find the complementary angle

  Take 90° and subtract the give angle to find the angle you would need...

       90° - 65.8° = 24.2°

Step 1:  Find the supplementary angle

  Take 180° and subtract the give angle to find the angle you would need...

       180° - 65.8° =  114.2°
