Answer:

c. [1.771;4.245] feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: height of a student at UH

X~N(μ;σ²)

You have to estimate the population standard deviation using a 95% confidence interval.

The statistic to use for the interval is a student Chi-Square with n-1 degrees of freedom. First you have to calculate the CI for the population variance:

[\frac{(n-1)S^2}{X^2_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}} ;\frac{(n-1)S^2}{X^2_{n-1;\alpha /2}} ]

X^2_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= X^2_{11;0.975}= 21.920

X^2_{n-1;\alpha /2}= X^2_{11;0.025}= 3.816

n=12

S= 2.5

[\frac{11*6.25}{21.920} ;\frac{11*6.25}{3.816}} ]

[3.136; 18.016] feet²

Then you calculate the square root of both limits to get the CI for the population standard deviation:

[√3.136; √18.016]

[1.771;4.245] feet

I hope this helps!

A 10-ft vertical post casts a 14-inch shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower cast a 119-ft shadow. How tall is the ce
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using proportions, by a rule of three.

A 10-ft post casts a 14-inch shadow.

Each feet has 12 inches, which means that a post with 10 feet will cast a 14/12 = 1.167 ft shadow. How tall is the cell-phone tower with a 119-feet shadow?

10 feet post - 1.167 ft shadow

x feet tower - 119 feet shadow

Applying cross multiplication:

1.167x = 10*119

x = \frac{1190}{1.167}

x = 1020

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.
