Answer:

The 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans is between 98.53ºF and 98.87 ºF. 98.6ºF is part of the interval, so the sample suggests that the use of 98.6ºF as the mean body​ temperature is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 104 - 1 = 103

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 103 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.624

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.624\frac{0.66}{\sqrt{104}} = 0.17

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 98.7 - 0.17 = 98.53ºF.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 98.7 + 0.17 = 98.87 ºF.

The 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans is between 98.53ºF and 98.87 ºF. 98.6ºF is part of the interval, so the sample suggests that the use of 98.6ºF as the mean body​ temperature is correct.

The answer is x=-5.5 . 2x-3 = 4x+8 . subtract 2x from both sides and then subtract 8 from both sides and get -11=2x . then divide both sides by 2 to get . -5.5=x

a taxi service charges $2.40 for the first mile of a ride and $1.40 for every additional mile. linda planned to give a $2 tip fo
viktelen [127]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

first subtract 2 from 10 (10 - 2 = 8)

8 - 2.40 (the first mile) = 5.6

5.6 divided by 1.40 (every additional mile) = 5

If a triangle has sides of 8,11, and 13. Is it a right triangle?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

If a² + b² = c², then the triangle is <u>right</u>.

So we have (8)² + (11)²  <u>?</u>  (13)²

(8)² is 64, (11)² is 121, and (13)² is 169.

So we have 64 + 121 <u>?</u> 169

64 + 121 is 185 and we can see that 185 > 169.

This triangle would not be a right triangle.

In fact, it would be an acute triangle.

So no, it's not a right triangle.

A spherical exercise ball has a maximum diameter of 30 inches when filled with air. The ball was completely empty at the start,
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

A) A(t)  =  4500*π  -  1600*t

B) A(4)  =  7730 in³

C) t  =  8,8 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the sphere is:

d max  =  30   r max  =  15 in

V(s) =  (4/3)*π*r³      V(s)  =   (4/3)*π* (15)³

V(s) = 4500*π

A)  Amount of air needed to fill the ball A(t)

A(t)  = Total max. volume of the sphere - rate of flux of air * time

A(t)  =  4500*π  -  1600*t    in³

B) After 4 minutes

A(4)  =  4500*π  - 6400

A(4)  =  14130 - 6400

A(4)  =  7730 in³

C)  A(t)  =  4500*π  -  1600*t  

when  A(t) = 0   the ball got its maximum volume then:

4500*π -  1600*t  =  0

t  =   14130/1600

t  =  8,8 sec

PLEASE HELP DUE TOMORROW!!!!!!​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

X=35

Step-by-step explanation:

X=35 because a straight line is 180 degrees. Take away 60 degrees and you're left with 3x + 15 = 120. Simplify to 3x=105, and then divide 3x by 3. Do the same to the other side. X will now equal 35. Hope this helps :)
