Answer:

Critical values:t_{\alpha/2}=-2.201 t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.201

95% confidence interval would be given by (3.646;4.472)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".

The data is:

4.65 3.89 2.73 4.35 3.80 4.86 4.33 4.37 4.76 4.05 3.05 3.87

2) Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation.

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we need to have on mind the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}

=AVERAGE(4.65,3.89,2.73, 4.35, 3.8, 4.86, 4.33, 4.37, 4.76, 4.05, 3.05, 3.87)

On this case the average is \bar X= 4.059

=STDEV.S(4.65,3.89,2.73, 4.35, 3.8, 4.86, 4.33, 4.37, 4.76, 4.05, 3.05, 3.87)

The sample standard deviation obtained was s=0.6503

3) Find the critical value t* Use the formula for a CI to find upper and lower endpoints

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that our sample size n =12 <30 and on this case we don't know about the population standard deviation, so on this case we need to use the t distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=12-1=11

We can find the critical values in excel using the following formulas:

"=T.INV(0.025,11)" for t_{\alpha/2}=-2.201

"=T.INV(1-0.025,11)" for t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.201

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

And we can use Excel to calculate the limits for the interval

Lower interval : "=4.059 -2.201*(0.6503/SQRT(12))" =3.646

Upper interval :  "=4.059 +2.201*(0.6503/SQRT(12))" =4.472

So the 95% confidence interval would be given by (3.646;4.472)

What is the radius of a circle whose equation is x2 + (y – 8)2 = 25?
Nesterboy [21]
The formula for a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
Where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
x^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 25
25 = r^2
So the radius is sqrt 25 or 5.
Radius = 5

Is 5(1/5^3) = 5(5^3)
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

5(1/5^3) ≠ 5(5^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

5(1/5^3) = 5(5^3)

5/27 = 625

5(1/5^3) ≠ 5(5^3)

The sides aren't equal, so this equation is FALSE.

What is Right angle traingle?

A right-angled triangle is a particular kind of triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees. The combined angles of the other two are 90 degrees. The triangle's base and perpendicular sides both include the right angle. The longest of the three sides, known as the hypotenuse, is the third side.

we know that;

By applying the Pythagorean Theorem;

c^2 = a^2 + b^2                                                                 .............................(1)

Area of the square says A1;

A1 = a^2 unit^2                                                           ...............................(2)

Area of the square says A2;

A2 = b^2 unit^2                                                         .................................(3)

Area of the square says A1;

A3 = c^2 unit^2                                                         ..................................(4)

Replace the A1, A2, and A3 values in the equation 1 ;

A3 = A1 + A2

therefore;

(Area of 1) + (Area of 2) = (Area of 3).
