<h3>Answer: 108.75 inches or 9.0625 ft</h3>

This is equivalent to 9 ft + 0.75 of an inch, or 9 ft + 3/4 of an inch

==========================================================

Work Shown:

7 & 1/4 = 7.25

Each riser is 7.25 inches tall

15 of them gives a total height of 15*7.25 = 108.75 inches

Divide that by 12 to convert to feet

108.75/12 = 9.0625 feet

9.0625 ft = 9 ft + 0.0625 ft

9.0625 ft = 9 ft + (0.0625 ft)*(12 inches/1 ft)

9.0625 ft = 9 ft + 0.75 inches

9.0625 ft = 9 ft + 3/4 of an inch

Andru [333]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Yes, if you enter all 43 values into your calculator, you calculator should report:

xbar = 2.293

s = 1.401

(b)

Note: Most professors say that is sigma = the population standard deviation is unknown (as it is unknown here), you should construct a t-confidence interval.

xbar +/- t * s / sqrt(n)

2.293 - 1.684 * 1.401 / sqrt(43) = 1.933

2.293 - 1.684 * 1.401 / sqrt(43) = 2.653

Answer: (1.933, 2.653)

Note: To find the t-value that allows us to be 90% confident, go across from df = 43-1 = 42 (round down to 40 to be conservative since 42 in not in the table) and down from (1-.90)/2 = .05 or up from 90% depending on your t-table. So, the t-critical value is 1.684.

Note: If you can use the TI-83/84, it will construct the following CI using df = 42 (ie t = 1.681).

2.293 +/- 1.681 * 1.401 / sqrt(43)

(1.934, 2.652)

Note: Some professors want you to construct a z-CI when the sample size is large. If your professor says this, the correct 90% CI is:

2.293 +/- 1.645 * 1.401 / sqrt(43)

(1.942, 2.644)

Note: To find the z-value that allows us to be 90% confident, (1) using the z-table, look up (1-.90)/2 = .05 inside the z-table, or (2) using the t-table, go across from infinity df (= z-values) and down from .05 or up from 90% depending on your t-table. Either way, the z-critical value is 1.645.

(c)

Note: Again, most professors say that is sigma = the population standard deviation is unknown (as it is unknown here), you should construct a t-confidence interval.

xbar +/- t * s / sqrt(n)

2.293 - 2.704 * 1.401 / sqrt(43) = 1.715

2.293 - 2.704 * 1.401 / sqrt(43) = 2.871

Answer: (1.715, 2.871)

Note: To find the t-value that allows us to be 99% confident, go across from df = 43-1 = 42 (round down to 40 to be conservative since 42 in not in the table) and down from (1-.99)/2 = .005 or up from 99% depending on your t-table. So, the t-critical value is 2.704.

Note: If you can use the TI-83/84, it will construct the following CI using df = 42 (ie t = 2.698).

2.293 +/- 2.698 * 1.401 / sqrt(43)

(1.717, 2.869)

Note: Again, some professors want you to construct a z-CI when the sample size is large. If your professor says this, the correct 99% CI is:

2.293 +/- 2.576 * 1.401 / sqrt(43)

(1.742, 2.843)

Note: To find the z-value that allows us to be 99% confident, (1) using the z-table, look up (1-.99)/2 = .005 inside the z-table, or (2) using the t-table, go across from infinity df (= z-values) and down from .005 or up from 99% depending on your t-table. Either way, the z-critical value is 2.576.

(d)

Tim Huelett 2.5

Since 2.5 falls between (1.715, 2.871), we see that Tim Huelett falls in the 99% CI range. So, his home run percentage is NOT significantly different than the population average.

Herb Hunter 2.0

Since 2.0 falls between (1.715, 2.871), we see that Herb Hunter falls in the 99% CI range. So, his home run percentage is NOT significantly different than the population average.

Jackie Jensen 3.8.

Since 3.8 falls above (1.715, 2.871), we see that Jackie Jensen falls in the 99% CI range. So, his home run percentage IS significantly GREATER than the population average.

(e)

Because of the Central Limit Theorem (CLT), since our sample size is large, we do NOT have to make the normality assumption since the CLT tells us that the sampling distribution of xbar will be approximatley normal even if the underlying population distribution is not.

What is the equation of this graph
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

an equation of this graph is : f(x) = a(x-h)²+k when (h,k) the vertex

so : h=5 and k= -4

f(x) = a(x-5)²-4....... now calculate : a

the y- intercept is :  - 6.5 means : f(0) = - 6.5

put x=0 and f(x) = - 6.5

you have : -6.5 = a(0-5)²-4

-6.5 = 25a - 4

25a = -2.5   so : a= -2.5/25= 1/10

the equation is :

<h2>f(x) = (1/10)(x-5)²-4</h2>

What is the side length b in the triangle below?<br> Please help!
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a special right triangle: 5, 12, 13

Or you can solve using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^)

--> 13^2-12^2=b^2

-->169-144=b^2

-->25=b^2

b=5
