The lengths, in inches, of adult corn snakes are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 6 inches and an un

known population mean. If a random sample of 18 snakes is taken and results in a sample mean of 61 inches, find the margin of error (ME) of the confidence interval with a 90% confidence level. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer: 2.460

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of Margin of Error for (n<30):-

ME=t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size : n= 18

Level of confidence = 0.90

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.90=0.1

Using the t-distribution table ,

Critical value : t_{n-1, \alpha/2}=t_{17,0.05}= 1.7396

Standard deviation: \sigma=\text{ 6 inches }

Then, we have

ME=( 1.7396)\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{18}}\approx2.460

Hence, the margin of error (ME) of the confidence interval with a 90% confidence level = 2.460

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point 4, -6 and has a slope of -3
zheka24 [161]
Y = mx + b. Use this equation for most linear functions. Enter the information that is given to you.
- 6 =  - 3(4) + b
Multiply the -3 and 4 to get 12.
-6 =  - 12 + b
Now divide the -12 from both sides.
\frac{ - 6}{ - 12}  =   \frac{ - 12}{ - 12}  + b
-12 cancels out on the right side and your left with
- \frac {1}{2}  = b
Now re-enter the info back into the formula.
y =  - 3x  -  \frac{1}{2}
Then you've got your formula

(03.01 LC)<br><br> What is the length of leg y of the right triangle? (1 point)
EastWind [94]

Answer:

<h2>A</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?

A right triangle with hypotenuse 26 and legs 24 and y

  • 10
  • 14
  • 24
  • 26

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, where h=26 and x=24,

h^{2} =x^{2} +y^{2}\\ 26^{2}=24^{2}+y^{2}\\y=\sqrt{26^{2}-24^{2}}\\ y=\sqrt{676-576}\\ y=\sqrt{100}\\ y=10

Therefore, the right answer is A. The length of the missing leg is 10 units.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

x^6+3x^3+3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pascal triangle to find the coefficients of the expasion of the cube. It holds that

(x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x})^3=(x^2)^3+3(x^2)^2\dfrac{1}{x}+3x^2(\dfrac{1}{x})^2+(\dfrac{1}{x})^3\\\\=x^6+3x^4\dfrac{1}{x}+3x^2\dfrac{1}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^3}\\\\=x^6+3x^3+3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}
