You measure 22 textbooks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 64 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 5.

1 ounces. Based on this, construct a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight.

Number of sample, n = 22

Mean, u = 64 ounces

Standard deviation, s = 5.1 ounces

For a confidence level of 90%, the corresponding z value is 1.645. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

64 ± 1.645 × 5.1/√22

= 64 ± 1.645 × 1.087

= 64 ± 1.788

The lower end of the confidence interval is 64 - 1.788 = 62.21 ounces

The upper end of the confidence interval is 64 + 1.788 = 65.79 ounces

Therefore, with 90% confidence interval, the true population mean textbook weight is between 62.21 ounces and 65.79 ounces

Answer: the x-intercept is (-10,0), the y-intercept is (0,45/2)

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the function describing the line.

From the table, it is obvious that the y values increase by 9 every increase of 4 of the x values. So, the slope is 9/4 and the function looks like this:

y = m x+ b = \frac{9}{4}x + b

with the y-intercept (or bias) b still unknown. This can be determined by using one of the point from the table, like so:

-18 = \frac{9}{4}\cdot 2+b\\\implies b = -18 -\frac{9}{2}=\frac{45}{2}\\y = \frac{9}{4}x+\frac{45}{2}

The above function form makes it easy to read off the y-intercept, which is (0,45/2) or (0,22.5). The x-intercept is obtained by setting y = 0 and solving for x:

y = \frac{9}{4}x+\frac{45}{2}\\0 = \frac{9}{4}x+\frac{45}{2}\\-\frac{45}{2}=\frac{9}{4}x\\x = -10

The x-intercept is (-10,0)

Is a line segment a defined or undefined term?
Savatey [412]
<span>Line Segment: A line segment is just part of a line. Remember above when I said that lines are indefinite, and that they keep going and going? Line segments stop somewhere in both directions.</span><span>
Therefore its defined.

How do you multiply decimals?
Ulleksa [173]
I found this online, hope it helps


Just follow these steps:
Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points.
Then put the decimal point in the answer - it will have as many decimal places as the two original numbers combined.

19. Use the unit circle to find the value of tan 315º.<br> Show work pls.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First change tan(315) to:

\frac{\sin(315)}{\cos(315)}

Then evaluate the sine and cosine function. What is the y component of 315 degrees? What is the x component of 315 degrees?

-\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} /\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =-1
