Answer: (1812.967, 1907.033)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm t_{df,\ \alpha} \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

, where \overline{x} = Sample mean

n= Sample size.

s = Sample standard deviation

t_{df,\ \alpha} = Critical t-value for degree of freedom(n-1).

As per given , we have

n= 35

\overline{x}=1860

s=102

Significance level : \alpha=0.01

By t- distribution table , for degree of freedom 43 and \alpha=0.01 , we have

t_{df,\ \alpha}=t_{34,\ 0.005} =2.728

Substitute all the values in the above formula , we will get

1860\pm (2.728)\dfrac{102}{\sqrt{35}}

=1860\pm (2.728)(17.2411)

=1860\pm47.034

=(1860-47.033\ 1860+47.033)= (1812.967,\ 1907.033)

Hence, the  99% confidence interval estimate of the mean of the population is  (1812.967, 1907.033).

A region with a 5-mile radius has a population density of about 3100 people per square mile. Find the number of people who live
Gwar [14]

Answer:

243,000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

First, what we need to do is to calculate the area of the region using the 5-mile radius

Mathematically, we can calculate this as the area of a circle

Area = pi * r^2

Our r here is 5 miles

Area = pi * 5^2 = pi * 25 = 78.54 square miles

Now to get the population, we know that per square mile we have 3,100.

Hence per 78.54 square mile, we have 78.54 * 3100 = 243,273 people

To the nearest thousand, 243,000

what is the sum of an 8th term geometric series if the first term is -11, the last term is 180,224, and the common ratio is -4
Mumz [18]

The sum of n terms is given from the first term and the common ratio by

S_{n}=a_{1}\dfrac{r^{n}-1}{r-1}

For your given values of a1=-11, r=-4, n=8, the sum of 8 terms is

S_{8}=(-11)\dfrac{(-4)^{8}-1}{-4-1}=(-11)\dfrac{65535}{-5}\\\\=144177

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 54. Find all three integers.
matrenka [14]
A good way to find the answer to these questions is to find it algebraically. Let's call the first number 'n'. 
n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 54
3n + 6 = 54
3n = 48
n = 16
Therefore the numbers are 16, 18, 20
