Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (19.141;23.538)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".

$\bar X=21.34$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=9.22 represent the sample standard deviation

n=70 represent the sample size

2) 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:

$df=n-1=70-1=69$

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(0.025,69)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.994$

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

$21.74-1.994\frac{9.22}{\sqrt{70}}=19.141$

$21.74+1.994\frac{9.22}{\sqrt{70}}=23.538$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (19.141;23.538)

Can someone please help me with this

Answer:

Then the best way to phrase it would be to jump right into the question without I need your help, because saying so makes it sound as though you have more of an urgent, sensitive, personal problem than a simple question or two (they might be a bit taken aback by the phrase).

However, if you have several questions (let's say more than 2), or if you just want to sound a bit more polite, you could preface the content with a phrase like I was wondering I you might be able to answer a few questions of mine, or, I have a few questions that I was hoping you might be able to help me with.

What is 2x times x squared?

tresset_1 [31]

We want to multiply the monomial $2x$ by the monomial $2x^2$ .

Remember that to multiply monomials we need to use the laws of exponents; in this case, the law for multiplying powers with the same base. The rule says that, when you multiply powers of the same base, you just need to add the exponents: $(a^m)(a^n)=a^{m+n}$ , $(x^2)(x^4)=x^{2+4}=x^6$ . Also, is worth pointing out that the exponent of a variable with no exponent is 1: $x=x^1$ .

Remember that we also need to multiply their coefficients , which are the numbers that multiply the variables; again, variables with no numbers have a coefficient of 1, so $x=1x$ . Multiply coefficients is easy, you just need to multiply them as you usually do with everyday numbers.

Let's apply all of that to our multiplication:

$(2x)(x^2)=(2x^1)(1x^2)=2*1x^{1+2}=2x^3$

We can conclude that 2x times x squared is 2x cubed.
