Answer:

28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872    

28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=28 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=10 represent the sample standard deviation

n=25 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=25-1=24

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,24)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.064

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872    

28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)

Step-by-step explanation: You have to substitute the numbers in for x & y

(0, -5): YES

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(0) - 4(-5) - 8 = 12

0 + 20 - 8 = 12

20 - 8 = 12

12 = 12


(4, -2): YES

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(4) - 4(-2) - 8 = 12

12 + 8 - 8 = 12

20 - 8 = 12

12 = 12


(8, 2): NO

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(8) - 4(2) = 12

24 - 8 = 12

16 = 12


(-16, -17): YES

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(-16) - 4(-17) - 8 = 12

-48 + 68 - 8 = 12

20 - 8 = 12

12 = 12


(-1, -8): NO

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(-1) - 4(-8) = 12

-3 + 32 = 12

29 = 12


(-40, -34): NO

3x - 4y - 8 = 12

3(-40) - 4(-34) - 8 = 12

-120 + 136 - 8 = 12

16 - 8 = 12

8 = 12


Hope this help you!!! :)
