A random sample of 9 fields of corn has a mean yield of 34.7 bushels per acre and standard deviation of 8.04 bushels per acre. D

etermine the 98% confidence interval for the true mean yield. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

98% Confidence interval:  (26.939,42.461)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 34.7 bushels per acre

Sample size, n = 9

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.04 bushels per acre

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 8

98% Confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

34.7 \pm 2.896(\dfrac{8.04}{\sqrt{9}} )\\\\ = 34.7 \pm 7.761 = (26.939,42.461)  

is the required confidence interval for the true mean yield.

Determine the values of the constants B and C so that the function given below is differentiable.
laila [671]
For the function to be differentiable, its derivative has to exist everywhere, which means the derivative itself must be continuous. Differentiating gives

f'(x)=\begin{cases}24x^2&\text{for }x1\end{cases}

The question mark is a placeholder, and if the derivative is to be continuous, then the question mark will have the same value as the limit as x\to1 from either side.

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}f'(x)=\lim_{x\to1}24x^2=24
\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^+}f'(x)=\lim_{x\to1}B=B

So the derivative will be continuous as long as B=24

For the function to be differentiable everywhere, we need to require that f(x) is itself continuous, which means the following limits should be the same:

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1}8x^3=8
\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1}Bx+C=24+C

24+C=8\implies C=-16

So, the function should be

f(x)=\begin{cases}8x^3&\text{for }x\le1\\24x-16&\text{for }x>1\end{cases}

with derivative

f'(x)=\begin{cases}24x^2&\text{for }x

If the triangles in the figure are similar, what is the length of side b? A. 36 B. 40 C. 32.4 D. 45
butalik [34]
Since ABC and DEF are similar then we can write:.

CB/FE = CA/FD
9/90 = b/360
b/360 = 1/10
b = 360/10
b = 36
