Answer:

$R = 17$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P = -5$

$Q = 6$

<em>Midpoint: Q</em>

Required

Determine R

Since Q is the midpoint, then

$Q = \frac{1}{2}(P + R)$

Substitute values for P and Q

$6 = \frac{1}{2}(-5 + R)$

Multiply both sides by 2

$12 = -5 + R$

Add 5 to both sides

$12 + 5 = -5 + 5 + R$

$17 = R$

$R = 17$

A random sample of 10 parking meters in a resort community showed the following incomes for a day. Assume the incomes are normal

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for the true mean is [$3.39, $6.01].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 10 parking meters in a resort community showed the following incomes for a day;

Incomes (X): $3.60, $4.50, $2.80, $6.30, $2.60, $5.20, $6.75, $4.25, $8.00, $3.00.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean income = $\frac{\sum X}{n}$ = $4.70

s = sample standard deviation = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1} }$ = $1.83

n = sample of parking meters = 10

$\mu$ = population mean

<em>Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

<u>So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, </u> $\mu$ <u> is ;</u>

P(-2.262 < $t_9$ < 2.262) = 0.95 {As the critical value of t at 9 degrees of

freedom are -2.262 & 2.262 with P = 2.5%}

P(-2.262 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.262) = 0.95

P( $-2.262 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu$ < $2.262 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\bar X-2.262 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+2.262 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for</u> $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.262 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.262 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $4.70-2.262 \times {\frac{1.83}{\sqrt{10} } }$ , $4.70+ 2.262 \times {\frac{1.83}{\sqrt{10} } }$ ]

= [$3.39, $6.01]

Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the true mean is [$3.39, $6.01].

The interpretation of the above result is that we are 95% confident that the true mean will lie between incomes of $3.39 and $6.01.

Also, the margin of error = $2.262 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$

= $2.262 \times {\frac{1.83}{\sqrt{10} } }$ = <u>1.31</u>

The base and height of the triangle of the triangle at the right are multiplied by 4. Describe the change in the area. Justify y

dimulka [17.4K]

5 meters and 6 meters? Where the heck did you get 5 and 6 from is there like some sort of magic going on? Is this Disney!? IS the height 5 m and the base is 6 m or what because I can't help you with Disney's magic stuff. IS THERE LIKE ALL OF A SUDDEN 2 triangles?
wow.
