Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean gpa is [2.526,2.894].

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is

\mu\pm z^{*}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Where, μ is population mean, σ is standard deviation, z* is the value of z-score and n is number of samples.

The z-score value for 90% confidence interval is 1.645.

The average gpa is found to be 2.71, so μ=2.71. The variance is 0.25, it means

\sigma^2=0.25

\sigma=0.5

The 90% confidence interval for population mean is

2.71\pm 1.645\cdot \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20}}

[2.71-1.645\cdot \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20}},2.71+1.645\cdot \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20}}]

[2.526,2.894]

Therefore the 90% confidence interval for the population mean gpa is [2.526,2.894].

Solution: The 90% confidence interval for the population mean is:

\bar{x} \pm t_{\frac{0.1}{2}} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where:

\bar{x}=2.71

s=\sqrt{0.25} =0.5

t_{\frac{0.1}{2}}=1.729 is the critical value at 0.1 significance level for df = n-1 =20-1=19

2.71 \pm 1.729 \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20}}

2.71 \pm0.19

\left( 2.71-0.19,2.71+0.19\right)

\left(2.52,2.90 \right)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean is \left(2.52,2.90 \right)

Angle JKL is an equilateral triangle jk=13x+5 KL=17x-19 and JL=8x+35
Goshia [24]

The value of x is 6, then the value of JK is 83, KL is 83 and JL is 83.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a polygon that has three sides and three vertices. It is one of the basic figures in geometry.

An equilateral triangle is a shape with three sides that have an equal measure of side length.

The 3 sides of triangle JKL are equal to each other, therefore we can equate any of the two sides together to find the unknown variable called x.

So, JK = KL

JK = 13x + 5

KL + 17x - 19

13x + 5 = 17x - 19

Collect like terms;

17x - 13x = 19 + 5

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6

We can now proceed to find the sides;

JK = 13x + 5

13 x 6 + 5

= 78 + 5

= 83

JK = 83

KL = 17x - 19

= 17 x 6 - 19

= 102 - 19

= 83

KL = 83

JL= 8x + 35​

= 8 x 6 + 35

= 48 + 35

= 83

JL = 83

Hence, The value of x is 6, then the value of JK is 83, KL is 83 and JL is 83.

A dictionary contains the following 9 words: two, mice, three, squeaking, the, blind, deaf, birds, rabbits. What is the probabil
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.

Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9

2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,

1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81

3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order.  The question was specific about the order.

1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729

<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>
