Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in anxiety was (1.2, 8.6).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 27 - 1 = 26
99% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of . So we have T = 2.7787.
The margin of error is:
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.9 - 3.7 = 1.2.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.9 + 3.7 = 8.6.
The 99% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in anxiety was (1.2, 8.6).
3 RIGHT TRIANGLES
1 big right triangle is divided into 2 smaller ones. Medium and small.
<span> a.How far is the spot on the beach from the parking lot? </span>Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = x
Small triangle: long leg = x ; short leg = 18m
32/x = x/18
32*18 = x*x
576 = x²
√576 = √x²
24 = x
Parking lot to the beach is 24 meters.
<span>b. How far will he have to walk from the parking lot to get to the refreshment stand?</span>Use Pythagorean theorem:
Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = 24 m ; hypotenuse = ?
32²+ 24² = c²
1024 + 576 = c²
1600 = c²
√1600 = √c²
40 m = c
Parking lot to refreshment stand is 40 meters.
