Calculate the area of parallelogram ORST

Scores on the SAT Mathematics test are believed to be normally distributed. The scores of a simple random sample of five student

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=584$

And the 95% confidence interval is given by:

$584-2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=476.271$

$584+2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=691.729$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (476.271;691.729)

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

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

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

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)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=584$

The sample deviation calculated $s=86.776$

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

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 tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,4)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.776$

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

$584-2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=476.271$

$584+2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=691.729$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (476.271;691.729)

Find the slope of the line with x intercept 9 and y intercept of -2

elena-s [515]

Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line with x intercept 9 and y intercept of -2

Given that the equation of the line is y = mx+b

x intercept occurs when y = 0

The coordinate of x intercept is (9,0)

y intercept occurs at x = 0

The coordinate of y intercept is (0, -2)

Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = -2-0/0-9

m = -2/-9

m = 2/9

Hence the required slope is 2/9

What's the abswer to 1/2 divided by 5/8 is

posledela

$\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{5}{8} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{5} \\ \\ \frac{1 \times 8} {2 \times 5} \\ \\ \frac{8}{10} \\ \\ \frac{4}{5} \\ \\$

The final result is: 4/5 or 0.8.
