Answer:  The 90% confidence interval for the population mean μ is between 82.85 and 85.15,

Step-by-step explanation:

When population standard deviation is not given ,The confidence interval population proportion is given by (\mu ):-

\overline{x}\pm t^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

, where n= Sample size.

s= Sample standard deviation

\overline{x} = sample mean

t* = Critical t-value (Two-tailed)

As per given , we have

\overline{x}=84

n= 64

Degree of freedom : df = n-1=63  

s= 5.5

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.90=0.1

Two-tailed T-value for df = 63 and  \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 would be

t_{\alpha/2,df}=t_{0.05,63}=1.669  (By t-distribution table)

i.e. t*= 1.669

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean μ would be

84\pm (1.669)\dfrac{5.5}{\sqrt{64}}

=84\pm (1.669)\dfrac{5.5}{8}

\approx84\pm 1.15

=(84-1.15,\ 84+1.15)=(82.85,\ 85.15)

∴ The 90% confidence interval for the population mean μ is between 82.85 and 85.15,

Max says that the elapsed time from 11:55 AM to 1:01 PM is more than an hour and a half. Is he correct ? Explain.
kati45 [8]
He is wrong because 12:55 is one hr and you still need to get to 1:25 but he only got to 1:01 so he did not get the correct answer

A line intersects the points (6, -12) and (15, -3). What is the slope intercept equation for this line?
Korolek [52]
Let's say that the unknown value here is c. Although we are given two points on the line, it is only necessary to use one as there is only one unknown value, so let's say we choose the point (6, -12) and substitute this into the equation:

-12 = 1(6) - c
-12 - 6 = -c
-18 = -c
c = 18

Thus the equation for the line is y = 1x - 18

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (5,0) and is parallel to the line represe
zlopas [31]

Answer:

y=1.2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

place in the points

0=1.2(5)+b

distrubutive property

0=6+b

subtract 6 on both sides

-6=b

y=1.2x-6

Find the gradient of the line<br> 2y - 8x = -2
natima [27]

answer:

gradient is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient is another way of saying slope

slope in the math is often used to show the speed of something

it's the m in y= mx+b

make the equation look like

y = mx + b

2y - 8x = -2

2y = 8x - 2

y= (8x-2)/2

y=4x-1

gradient is the number next to x

answer : gradient is 4
