Answer: (24.28,\ 27.72)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n=50

Sample mean : \overline{x}=26

Standard deviation : \sigma =6.2

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Formula to find the confidence interval for population mean :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=26\pm(1.96)\dfrac{6.2}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\\approx26\pm1.72\\\\=(26-1.72,\ 26+1.72)\\\\=(24.28,\ 27.72)

Hence, a 95% confidence interval for the population mean = (24.28,\ 27.72)

Solve the equation below using a graphing
UNO [17]

Answer:

<em>x = 0.05</em>

<em>x = 1.57</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

e^x-\ln 2x = 3.7

Moving all terms to the left side:

e^x-\ln 2x - 3.7=0

Now we define a function:

y=f(x)=e^x-\ln 2x - 3.7

The solutions of the equation are the values of x such that y=0.

Since the function cannot be solved by algebraic methods, we use a graphing tool.

Those points where the graph crosses the x-axis are solutions of the equation.

Please refer to the graph in the figure below.

We can clearly identify there are two solutions at

x = 0.05

x = 1.57
