The amount of time it takes a bat to eat a frog was recorded for each bat in a random sample of 12 bats. The resulting sample me

an and standard deviation were 21.9 minutes and 7.7 minutes, respectively. Assuming it is reasonable to believe that the population distribution of bat mealtimes of frogs is approximately normal, a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean time for a bat to eat a frog. b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the variance of the time for a bat to eat a frog.

Answer: a. CI for the mean: 17.327 < μ < 26.473

b. CI for variance: 29.7532 ≤ \sigma^{2} ≤ 170.9093

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean:

The given data are:

mean = 21.9

s = 7.7

n = 12

df = 12 - 1 = 11

1 - α = 0.05

\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.025

t-score = t_{0.025,11} = 2.2001

Note: since the sample population is less than 30, it is used a t-score.

The formula for interval:

mean ± t.\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

Substituing values:

21.9 ± 2.200.\frac{7.7}{\sqrt{12} }

21.9 ± 4.573

The interval is: 17.327 < μ < 26.473

b. A 95% confidence interval for the variance:

The given values are:

s^{2} = 7.7^{2}

s^{2} = 59.29

α = 0.05

\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.025

1-\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.975

\chi^{2}_{0.025,11} = 21.92

\chi^{2}_{0.975,11} = 3.816

Note: To find the values for \chi^{2}_{\alpha/2,n-1} and \chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2,n-1}, look for them at the chi-square table

The formula to calculate interval:

(\frac{(n-1).s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2,n-1}} , \frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2,n-1}})

are the lower and upper limits, respectively.

Substituing values:

(\frac{11.59.29}{21.92} , \frac{11.59.29}{3.816})

(29.7532, 170.9093)

The interval for variance is: 29.7532 ≤ \sigma^{2} ≤ 170.9093

HELP ASAP!!
Tresset [83]

By definition, two angles are supplementary if the sum of them is 180 degrees. In this case (see figure attached with the answer) the line AD is transversal to lines AB and DC. This is a proof of the Same-side interior angle theorem.

This theorem states that if we have two lines that are parallel and we intercept those two lines with a line that is transversal to both, same-side interior angles are formed, and also sum 180º, in other words, they are supplementary angles.

Then:

By the definition of a parallelogram, AB∥DC. AD is a transversal between these sides, so ∠A and ∠D are <em><u>same-side interior angles</u></em>. Because AB and DC are <em><u>parallel</u></em>, the same-side interior angles must be <em><u>supplementary</u></em> by the same-side interior angles theorem. Therefore, ∠A and ∠D are supplementary.

What polynomial should be subtracted from the polynomial y^2–5y+1 to get the difference equal to: 5
monitta

Answer:

y^2 - 5y - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

So you want f(y) such that

(y^2-5y+1) - f(y) = 5

Subtract both sides by (y^2-5y+1):

-f(y) = 5 - (y^2-5y+1)

-f(y) = -y^2 + 5y + 4

f(y) = y^2 - 5y - 4

So the polynomial you are looking for is y^2 - 5y - 4
