Answer: (15.47, 24.53)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the confidence interval for population mean is given by :_

\overline{x}\pm z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

, where n= sample size.

\sigma = standard deviation.

\overline{x}= sample mean.

z*= Critical value.

Given : n= 450

\overline{x}=20

\sigma=49

Critical value for 95% confidence = z*=1.96     [From z-value table]

Then, the 95% confidence interval will be :-

20\pm (1.96)\dfrac{49}{\sqrt{450}}

\approx 20\pm (1.96)(2.31)

\approx 20\pm 4.53

=(20-4.53,\ 20+4.53)=(15.47,\ 24.53)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the mean change in score μ μ in the population of all high school seniors. : (15.47, 24.53)

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 12.6 in.?
Zepler [3.9K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the area of a circle, you square the radius and then multiply by pi (3.14 in our case).

The radius is half of the diameter.

12.6/2=6.3

We square this.

6.3²=39.69

We multiply by 3.14

39.69×3.14=124.6266

We round to the nearest hundredth, giving us an area of 124.63 in².

Now you can find the area of a circle! Have a wonderful day! :D

What is the 22nd term of the arithmetic sequence 12, 17, 22, 27, …?
melomori [17]
In simple words you just find what is being added to each term in order to get the next term. Subtracting 17 by 12 you get 5, 22 minus 17 is 5 as well. Now that what is being added is found, you go by the last term given which is 27. You keep adding 5 to the number until you get to the 22nd term which would result in 117. If you would want to know the equation in order for it to be plugged in then you would use f(x)= 7+5x . You would want to use this equation instead of f(x)= 12+5x because putting 1 as x would make it equal to 17 which is NOT the first term but the second.
