Answer:

<em>a)  90 % of confidence interval is determined by</em>

<em></em>(x^{-} -t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} +t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )<em></em>

<em>b) The 90% confidence intervals for the population mean </em>

(13.6572 , 22.3428)

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step(i):</u>-

Given data

Non residential  college students  25 21 26 6 25 14 26 24 7 10 14

Mean of   Non residential  college students

    x⁻  = ∑x/n

          = \frac{25+21+26+6+25+14+26+24+7+10+14}{11}

   x⁻ = 18

now

Non residential

college students 'x'  : 25    21     26   6      25    14    26   24     7    10    14

       x - x⁻                  :   7      3       8   -12      7     -4     8      6     -11   -8    -4

     (x-x⁻)²                  :    49   9      64  144    49    16    64   36   121   64    16

s^{2} = \frac{49+9+64+144+49+16+64+36+121+64+16 }{11-1}

S² = 63.2

S = √63.2 = 7.949

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u>:-

<em>The 90% confidence the population mean commute for non-residential college students is between and miles.</em>

<em></em>(x^{-} -t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} +t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )<em></em>

<em>Degrees of freedom </em>

<em>ν =n-1 =11-1 = 10</em>

<em>t </em>t_{\frac{0.10}{2} } = t_{0.05} = 1.812<em></em>

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

<em>The 90% confidence the population mean commute for non-residential college students is between and miles.</em>

<em></em>(x^{-} -t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} +t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )<em></em>

<em></em>((18- 1.812 \frac{7.949}{\sqrt{11} } , (18-+1.812 \frac{7.949}{\sqrt{11} })<em></em>

(18 - 4.3428 , 18 + 4.3428)

(13.6572 , 22.3428)

<u><em>Conclusion</em></u><em>:-</em>

<em>The 90% confidence the population mean commute for non-residential college students is between and miles.</em>

(13.6572 , 22.3428)

Find the surface area of the right rectangular prism shown below.<br> units?<br> 2.5<br> -
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Surface area = 46 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the total surface area of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Surface area = 2LW + 2LH + 2WH

Where

L represents the length of the rectangular prism.

W represents the width of the rectangular prism.

H represents the height of the rectangular prism.

Looking at the diagram,

L = 4 units

W = 2.5 units

H = 2 units

Therefore,

Surface area = (2 × 4 × 2.5) + (2 × 4 × 2) + (2 × 2.5 × 2)

= 20 + 16 + 10

= 46 units²

How do you simplify this fraction
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

- 3 \frac{4}{5}  + 1 \frac{2}{5}

= -frac{19}{5} +frac{7}{5}

= frac{-19+7}{5}

= frac{-12}{5}

= -2frac{2}{5}

5 \frac{3}{5}  - 7

= -2+\frac{3}{5}

= frac{-10+3}{5}

= frac{-7}{5}

= -1\frac{2}{5}

There is 5/6 of an apple pie left from dinner. Tomorrow, Victor plans to eat 1/6 of the pie that was left. How much of the whole
Lady_Fox [76]
5/6 = 83% 
1/6= 16%

83% of the apple pie was left from dinner. 
Victor is gonna eat 16% of the pie tomorrow 
You have to subtract 16% from 83%
In other words 5/6-1/6


The denominators are same so you don't have to do anything to them  
5/6 - 1/6 

5-1=4

4/6 of the pie would be left 
In simplest form it would be 

4/6     <span> ÷2</span>
=2/3

2/3 is in simplest form
