34 packages are randomly selected from packages received by a parcel service. The sample has a mean weight of 25.9 pounds and a

standard deviation of 3.8 pounds. What is the 95% confidence interval for the true mean weight, μ, of all packages received by the parcel service?
24.6 < μ < 27.2

24.8 < μ < 27.0

24.2 < μ < 27.6

24.4 < μ < 27.4

Answer:

24.6 < μ < 27.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{34}} = 1.3

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 25.9 - 1.3 = 24.6 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 25.9 + 1.3 = 27.2 pounds.

So the correct answer is:

24.6 < μ < 27.2

PLS HELPPPP equation of the line that is parallel to the line y − 3x = 4 and passes through the point (0, −3)
Volgvan

Answer:

y = 3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y - 3x = 4 ( add 3x to both sides )

y = 3x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 3x + c

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3

y = 3x - 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form

3a+5b/3c-5d =3a -5b/3c- 5d​
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

-30bc + 50bd

Step-by-step explanation:

3a + 5b/3c - 5d = 3a - 5b/3c - 5d

(3c - 5d)(3a - 5b) = (3a + 5b)(3c - 5d)

9ca - 15bc - 15da + 25db = 9ac - 15ad + 15bc - 25bd

9ca -15bc - 15da + 25db - 9ac + 15ad - 15bc + 25bd

9ca and -9ac and -15da and 15ad cancel each other out, so

-30bc + 50db is left
