A class survey in a large class for first-year college students asked, “About how many minutes do you study on a typical weeknig

ht?” The mean response of the 463 students was = 118 minutes with a standard deviation of 65 minutes in the population of all first-year students at this university. Create a 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first-year students. Assume all necessary assumptions and conditions apply given the large sample size. Interpret your interval in context.

Answer:  (110.22, 125.78)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the population mean is given by :-

\mu\ \pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size = 463

\mu=118\text{ minutes}

\sigma=65\text{ minutes}

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.99=0.01

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=\pm2.576

We assume that the population is normally distributed.

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean will be :-

118\ \pm\ 2.576\times\dfrac{65}{\sqrt{463}} \\\\\approx118\pm7.78=(118-7.78\ ,\ 118+7.78)=(110.22,\ 125.78)

Hence, 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first-year students = (110.22, 125.78)

Show that the roots of the equations
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The roots are real and distinct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation:

x^{2} + kx - k -2 =0

In this problem, a = 1, b = k and c = -k - 2

The discriminant is b² - 4ac, and for the roots to be real and distinct, it must be at least or greater than 0.

We get,

(k)²- 4(1)(-k - 2) = 1 - 4(-k - 2)

= k² + 4k + 8

Let's check:

At k = -2,

(-2)^{2} + 4(-2) + 8 = 4 - 8 + 8 = 4




At k = 0,

(0)^2 + 4(0) + 8 = 8

At k = -100,

(-100)^2 + 4(-100) + 8 = 10,000 - 400 + 8 = 9608

Therefore, we can conclude that for all values of k, the roots are real and distinct.

Answer:

a = 1√6

b = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

To solve this trigonometric problem, we need to convert this values into fractions

a).

Sin45° = 1/√2

cos30° = √3/2

Sin60° = √3/2

Sin45° / (cos30° + sin60°) = [(1/√2) ÷ (√3/2 + √3/2)]

(1/√2) ÷ (√3/2 + √3/2)

Add √3/2 + √3/2

1/√2 ÷ 2√3/2

1/√2 × 2/2√3

2/2√(2×3)

2/2√6

1/√6

b

Cos 180° = -1

Sin150° = ½

Tan135° = -1

2cos180° - 2sin150° - tan135°

(2 × -1) - (2×½) - (-1)

-2 - 1 + 1 = -2
