Answer:

20.9-2.01\frac{7.65}{\sqrt{50}}=18.73  

20.9+2.01\frac{7.65}{\sqrt{50}}=23.07  

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (18.73;23.07)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming these data

20 40 22 22 21 21 20 10 20 20

20 13 18 50 20 18 15 8 22 25

22 10 20 22 22 21 15 23 30 12

9 20 40 22 29 19 15 20 20 20

20 15 19 21 14 22 21 35 20  22

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".  

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)  

First we need to find the sample mean with the following formula:

\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{50}=20.9

And in order to find the sample standard deviation we can use the following formula:

s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar x)^2}{n-1}}=7.65

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

df=n-1=50-1=49  

Since the Confidence is 0.95or 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(0.025,49)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.01  

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

20.9-2.01\frac{7.65}{\sqrt{50}}=18.73  

20.9+2.01\frac{7.65}{\sqrt{50}}=23.07  

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (18.73;23.07)

PLEASE HELPPP
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(a) AH < HC is No

(b) AH < AC is Yes

(c) △AHC ≅ △AHB is Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangle

Solving (a): AH < HC

Line AH divides the triangle into two equal right-angled triangles which are: ABH and ACH (both right-angled at H).

To get the lengths of AH and HC, we need to first determine the measure of angles HAC and ACH. The largest of those angles will determine the longest of AH and HC. Since the measure of the angles are unknown, then we can not say for sure that AH < HC because the possible relationship between both lines are: AH < HC, AH = HC and AH > HC

Hence: AH < HC is No

Solving (b): AH < AC

Length AC represents the hypotenuse of triangle ACH, hence it is the longest length of ACH.

This means that:

AH < AC is Yes

Solving (c): △AHC ≅ △AHB

This has been addresed in (a);

Hence:

△AHC ≅ △AHB is Yes

Answer:

10x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to multiply 3 into the parenthesis because you have to use distributive property.

Once you do that you get 3x+9+7x.

Combine like terms.
