Population A and Population B both have a mean height of 70.0 inches with an SD of 6.0. A random sample of 50 people is picked f

rom population A, and random sample of 20 people is selected from Population B. Which sample mean will probably yield a more accurate estimate of its population mean? Why?

Answer:

Sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To yield a more accurate estimate of the population mean, margin of error should be minimized.

margin of error (ME) of the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level(z-score or t-score)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample (or of the population if it is known)
  • N is the sample size

for a given confidence level, and the same standard deviation, as the sample size increases, margin of error decreases.

Thus, random sample of 50 people from population A, has smaller margin of error than the sample of 20 people from population B.

Therefore, sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

Answer:

  • C(h(x)=14x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=44x+8-(30x+15)

=44x+8-30x-15

=44x-30x+8-15

=14x-7

The equation of a parabola is y=x^2-10x+27. Write the equation in vertex form
azamat

Answer:

\large \boxed{y = (x - 5)^{2} + 2 }

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² - 10x + 27

y = ax² + bx + c

This is the general form of the equation for a parabola.

We must convert it to the vertex form

y = (x - h)² + k, where (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex.

We can do this by completing the square.

\begin{array}{rcll}y & = & x^{2} - 10x + 27 & \\y - 27 & = & x^{2} - 10x & \text{Subtracted 27 from each side}\\y - 27&= & x^{2} - 10x + 25 - 25 & \text{Added and subtracted (b/2)}^{2}\\y - 27&= & (x - 5)^{2} - 25 & \text{Wrote the first three terms as the square of a binomial}\\y& = & \mathbf{(x - 5)^{2} + 2} & \text{Added 27 to each side}\\\end{array}\\\text{The vertex form of the parabola is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{y = (x - 5)^{2} + 2 }}$}The figure below shows that your parabola has its vertex at (5,2).
