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)

Q# ..7 match the equation with its graph -4x - 2y =8
prisoha [69]

If you divide by 8, you can put the equation into intercept form. That form is ...

... x/a + y/b = 1

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the x- and y-intercepts, respectively.

Here, your equation would be

... x/(-2) + y/(-4) = 0

The graph with those intercepts is not shown with your problem statement here. See the attachment for the graph.

A couple has six children what is the probability that they have all boys
Step2247 [10]

For any birth we have only two possible outcomes either boy or girl. So the chance of getting boy or girl on birth same which is 1/2.

The probability of getting baby boy or baby girl on any birth is

P(Boy) = P(Girl) = 0.5

If a couple has six children then probability that all are boys is

P( all six are boy) = (0.5)^6

= 0.015

The probability that all six are boy is 0.015

Sine, cosine, and tangent? How would I use them? And they have negatives?​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: Sine - Sin

Tangent - Tan - Cosine - Cos

or inverse Cos-1 - Sin-1 - Tan-1

Step-by-step explanation:

You would use  Sine - Sin for Opposite over hypotenuse

to check it you'd use Sin-1 that is just Sine but inverse that helps you get the answer- I just learned this stuff so bare with me but all of it is the same

I'm hoping I helped give you a small clue
