A data set includes 103 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.3degreesF and a standard deviation of 0.73

degreesF. Construct a 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6degreesF as the mean body​ temperature?

Answer:

CI = (98.11 , 98.49)

The value of 98.6°F suggests that this is significantly higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

sample size, n = 103

Mean temperature, μ = 98.3

°

Standard deviation, σ = 0.73

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 102

Now,

For Confidence level of 99%, and df = 102, the t-value = 2.62      [from the standard t table]

Therefore,

CI = (Mean - \frac{t\times\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},Mean + \frac{t\times\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Thus,

Lower limit of CI =  (Mean - \frac{t\times\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

or

Lower limit of CI =  (98.3 - \frac{2.62\times0.73}{\sqrt{103}})

or

Lower limit of CI = 98.11

and,

Upper limit of CI =  (Mean + \frac{t\times\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

or

Upper limit of CI =  (98.3 + \frac{2.62\times0.73}{\sqrt{103}})

or

Upper limit of CI = 98.49

Hence,

CI = (98.11 , 98.49)

The value of 98.6°F suggests that this is significantly higher and  the mean temperature could very possibly be 98.6°F

The length of a box as reported by its manufacturer is 13.67 cm. Joe has a ruler which has markings for each millimeter. Which m
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe has a ruler which has markings for each millimeter, so the least measurement which Joe can do is in millimeter.

Since, 10 mm = 1 cm

Therefore, 1 mm = 0.1 cm

This rule states that Joe can measure a length or distance in nearest tenth of a cm only.

If length of a box = 13.67 cm,

So Joe can measure it as 13.7 cm approximately.

Therefore, Option (3) will be the answer.

Answer:

-5

-3

-2

Rule:  Subtract 2 from the input value

Step-by-step explanation:

Examine the pattern of the input and the corresponding output for the two given ordered pairs:

Input -2 → Output -4  

Output - Input =  -4 - (-2) = -2

Input 1 → Output -1

Output - Input = -1 - 1 = -2

Therefore to get the output value (y-value), we subtract 2 from the input value (x-value).

\begin{array}{| c | c |}\cline{1-2} x & y \\\cline{1-2} -3 & -5 \\\cline{1-2} -2 & -4 \\\cline{1-2} -1 & -3 \\\cline{1-2} 0 & -2\\\cline{1-2} 1 & -1 \\\cline{1-2}\end{array}

As the rule for the function is the subtract 2 from the input value to get the output value, we can write this as:

Output = Input - 2

or as an equation:  y=x-2
