Answer: (17.42, 20.78)

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 9

\overline{x}=19.1 years

Population standard deviation is not given , so it follows t-distribution.

Sample standard deviation : s= 1.5 years

Confidence level : 99% or 0.99

Significance level : \alpha= 1-0.99=0.01

Degree of freedom : df= 8  (∵df =n-1)

Critical value : t_c=t_{(\alpha/2,\ df)}=t_{0.005,\ 8}= 3.355

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean would be :-

\overline{x}\pm t_c\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

19.1\pm (3.355)\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{ 9}}\\\\=19.1\pm1.6775\\\\=(19.1-1.6775,\ 19.1+1.6775)\\\\=(17.4225,\ 20.7775)\approx(17.42,\ 20.78)

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (17.42, 20.78) .

What is 0.04 km, 420 cm, 4,600 mm, and 4.3 meters in order from least to greatest
Paul [167]

Answer:

420 cm, 4.3 meters, 4600 mm, 0.04 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by converting each to the same unit. I will be using meters.

0.04 km

1 km = 1000 meters

1000 meters / 1 km = 1

multiply 0.04 km by 1 = 1000 meters / 1 km , keeping the km at the bottom to cross out

0.04 km * 1000 meters / 1 km = 40 meters

420 cm

100 cm = 1 meter

1 meter / 100 cm = 1

multiply 420 cm by this, keeping cm at the bottom so it crosses out

420 cm * 1 meter / 100 cm = 4.2 meters

4600 mm

1000 mm = 1 meter

1 meter / 1000 mm = 1

4600 mm * 1 meter / 1000 mm = 4.6 meters

Therefore, our order is

420 cm, 4.3 meters, 4600 mm, 0.04 km

I need help with this!
timurjin [86]

Answer:

a=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

√a+5=4

Solve Square Root.

√a+5=4

a+5=42(Square both sides)

a+5=16

a+5−5=16−5(Subtract 5 from both sides)

a=11

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

a=11(Works in original equation)
