Answer:

(513.14, 860.36) is a 98% confidence interval for the true mean

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a small sample size of n = 15, the mean balance was \bar{x} = 686.75 with a standard deviation of s = 256.20. The confidence interval is given by \bar{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}) where t_{\alpha/2} is the 100(\alpha/2)th quantile of the t distribution with n-1=15-1=14 degrees of freedom. As we want a 100(1-\alpha)% = 98% confidence interval, we have that \alpha = 0.02 and the confidence interval is 686.75\pm t_{0.01}(\frac{256.20}{\sqrt{15}}) where t_{0.01} is the 1st quantile of the t distribution with 14 df, i.e., t_{0.01} = -2.6245. Then, we have 686.75\pm (-2.6245)(\frac{256.20}{\sqrt{15}}) and the 98% confidence interval is given by (513.1379, 860.3621)

Best answer or correct answer gets brainliest
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer: C. x = 6; m∠XOY = 18

Step-by-step:

We see that ZOW and WOX are supplementary, meaning the sum of their angles equal 180.

We also know that WOY is a right angle and equals 90.

Now we can solve

180-108 = 72

90 - 72 = 18

XOY = 18

Because 3x = 18, we know that x = 18 by dividing 18 by 3

Simplify the expression ​
finlep [7]

Answer:

\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{x - 6}{4*x}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x}

The first thing we want to do, is to have the same denominator in both equations, then we need to multiply the first term by (2/2), so the denominator becomes 4*x

We will get:

(\frac{2}{2} )\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{4*x - 4}{4*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x}

Now we can directly add the terms to get:

\frac{4*x - 4}{4*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{4*x - 4 - 3*x - 2}{4*x}  = \frac{x - 6}{4*x}

We can't simplify this anymore
