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.

It took James 5h to paint an 8ft by 24ft wall. At this rate, how long would it take him to paint a 12ft by 36ft wall
olasank [31]
8 * 24 feet = 192 sq feet per 5 hours

12* 36 = 432 square feet

432 is 2.25 times the area of 192 square feet

So, it takes 5 * 2.25 = 11.25 hours

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry for the parabola y equals start fraction one over three end fraction left parenthes
wariber [46]
The correct axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Explanation:

Our equation is
y=\frac{1}{3}(x+1)^2-3.

This is in vertex form, which is 
y = a(x-h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.

In our equation, h corresponds with -1 and k corresponds with -3, making the vertex (-1, -3).

The axis of symmetry is the x-coordinate of the vertex; this makes the axis of symmetry for this equation x = -1.
