Answer:

a = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = ax be a linear equation, where x is the input variable and y is the output variable, then "a" is the proportionality constant between x and y.

To find the proportionality constant of the given equation, we must take it to the form y = ax.

We have:

2x = 10y

We divide both sides of the equation by 10.

0.2x = y

y = 0.2x.

Then the constant of proportionality is:

a = 0.2

The temperature of a certain solution is estimated by taking a large number of independent measurements and averaging them. The

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(a) The 95% confidence interval for the temperature is (36.80°C, 37.20°C).

(b) The confidence level is 68%.

(d) The 95% confidence interval for the temperature if 10 measurements were made is (36.93°C, 37.07°C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = temperature of a certain solution.

The estimated mean temperature is, $\bar x=37^{o}C$ .

The estimated standard deviation is, $s=0.1^{o}C$ .

(a)

The general form of a (1 - α)% confidence interval is:

$CI=SS\pm CV\times SD$

Here,

SS = sample statistic

CV = critical value

SD = standard deviation

It is provided that a large number of independent measurements are taken to estimate the mean and standard deviation.

Since the sample size is large use a z-confidence interval.

The critical value of z for 95% confidence interval is:

$z_{0.025}=1.96$

Compute the confidence interval as follows:

$CI=SS\pm CV\times SD\\=37\pm 1.96\times 0.1\\=37\pm0.196\\=(36.804, 37.196)\\\approx (36.80^{o}C, 37.20^{o}C)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the temperature is (36.80°C, 37.20°C).

(b)

The confidence interval is, 37 ± 0.1°C.

Comparing the confidence interval with the general form:

$37\pm 0.1=SS\pm CV\times SD$

The critical value is,

CV = 1

Compute the value of P (-1 < Z < 1) as follows:

$P(-1$

The percentage of z-distribution between -1 and 1 is, 68%.

Thus, the confidence level is 68%.

(c)

The confidence interval for population mean can be constructed using either the z-interval or t-interval.

If the sample selected is small and the standard deviation is estimated from the sample, then a t-interval will be used to construct the confidence interval.

But this will be possible only if we assume that the population from which the sample is selected is Normally distributed.

Thus, the necessary assumption is that the population is normally distributed.

(d)

For n = 10 compute a 95% confidence interval for the temperature as follows:

The (1 - α)% t-confidence interval is:

$CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

The critical value of t is:

$t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=t_{0.025, 9}=2.262$

*Use a t-table for the critical value.

The 95% confidence interval is:

$CI=37\pm 2.262\times \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{10}}\\=37\pm 0.072\\=(36.928, 37.072)\\\approx (36.93^{o}C, 37.07^{o}C)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the temperature if 10 measurements were made is (36.93°C, 37.07°C).

Subtract 110 and 8.75 and you get 101.25 then divide that by 9 and you get 11.25

Which correlation coefficient best matches the graph?

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The correlation coefficient r measures the direction and strength of a linear relationship. Calculating r is pretty complex, so we usually rely on technology for the computations. We focus on understanding what r says about a scatterplot.❤
