A lab found that 670 rats could run through a maze in a mean time of 4.7 seconds. What is the 99% confidence interval for the po

Using the formula for margin of error as

MOE = z * σ / √n

would be very difficult since we are not given the value of the standard deviation. Standard deviation value must be given since it is obtained from the experiment.

However, we use another formula for MOE in the form of:

MOE = z sqrt [p (1 – p) / n]

where p is the proportion at 99% confidence interval at z crit value. From the standard distribution tables, this corresponds to a p value of:

z crit = 2.58

p = 0.9951

Therefore the margin of error is:

MOE = 2.58 sqrt [0.9951 (1 – 0.9951) / 670]

MOE = 6.96 x 10^-3 = 0.00696 s

 

We can see that at 99% Confidence interval, the Margin of Error is extremely small (almost 0). For the sake of calculation:

Confidence interval = 4.7 s ± 0.00696 s

<span>Confidence interval = 4.69304, 4.70696</span>

1) The coordinates of X are (1, -3)
2) When you reflect over a line parallel to the y-axis the x-coordinate does not change, so the x-coordinate of X' is 1.
3) The vertical distance between the point X (1, - 3) and the line y = 1 is 1 - (-3) = 1 + 3 = 4.
4) The vertical distance of the point X' has to ve the same, 4, and the point X' will be 4 units over the line y = 1. That leads to y = 1 + 4 = 5.
So the y-coordinate of the point X' is 5.
5) Conclusion the coordinates of the point X' are x = 1, y = 5, i.e.point (1,5)

Which equation is equivalent to x^2 - 16x + 49 = 0?
goblinko [34]
Subtract 49 by its negative so now
x^2-16x=-49
then move -16 so
x^2=-49+16x
then add -49 and 16 so then you get
X^2+your answer)
then find the square root because this was in exponential form so find the square root of x^2 and of your answer so
X= Your answer
