Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the average heights of the population is between 1.7108m and 1.7892m.

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 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.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. So

\sigma = \sqrt{0.16} = 0.4

Then

M = 1.96*\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{400}} = 0.0392

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.75 - 0.0392 = 1.7108m

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 1.75 + 0.0392 = 1.7892m

The 95% confidence interval for the average heights of the population is between 1.7108m and 1.7892m.

Which of the following CANNOT be given the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
Katena32 [7]

The sides of a triangle must satisfy the triangle inequality, which states the sum of the lengths of any two sides is strictly greater than the length of the remaining side.  

We really only have to check if the sum of the two smaller sides exceeds the largest side.

A. 5+6>7, ok

B. 6+6>10, ok

C. 7+7=14 Not ok, this is a degenerate triangle not a real triangle

D. 4+6>8 ok

Expand and simplify x(x+2)x+(x+3)
Natasha_Volkova [10]
To start, first distribute the x's to their expressions. This would look like this: 
(x*x+2*x)+(x*x+x*3)=x^2+2x+x^2+3x
Then, you combine like terms or simplify, and you get an answer of 2x^2+5x
