Answer:

4.97-2.10\frac{0.0461}{\sqrt{19}}=4.95    

4.97+2.10\frac{0.0461}{\sqrt{19}}=4.99    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (4.95;4.99)  

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 =4.97 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=0.0461 represent the sample standard deviation

n=19 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

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=19-1=18

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(0.025,18)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.10

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

4.97-2.10\frac{0.0461}{\sqrt{19}}=4.95    

4.97+2.10\frac{0.0461}{\sqrt{19}}=4.99    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (4.95;4.99)

Find the surface area of composite figure. use 3.14 for π. round to the nearest tenth
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

334 in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area = area of the top prism + area of the bottom - 2 * area of the base of the  top smaller prism

= 2(5*3 + 5*3 + 3*3) + 2(9*7 + 9*5 + 7*5) -  2* 3*5

= 2* 39 + 2*143 - 30

= 334

Five more than three times a number is 197. find the mlnumber
insens350 [35]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number is x we have the equation:-

3x + 5 = 197

Subtract 5 from both sides:-

3x = 192

x = 192/3

x = 64
