6/8 , just add both fractions together for the total, as they already have common denominators.

Suppose twenty-two communities have an average of = 123.6 reported cases of larceny per year. assume that σ is known to be 36.8

Delvig [45]

We are given the following data:

Average = m = 123.6
Population standard deviation = σ= psd = 36.8
Sample Size = n = 22

We are to find the confidence intervals for 90%, 95% and 98% confidence level.

Since the population standard deviation is known, and sample size is not too small, we can use standard normal distribution to find the confidence intervals.

Part 1) 90% Confidence Interval
z value for 90% confidence interval = 1.645

Lower end of confidence interval = $m-z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Lower end of confidence interval= $123.6-1.645* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=110.69$

Upper end of confidence interval = $m+z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Upper end of confidence interval= $123.6+1.645* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=136.51$

Thus the 90% confidence interval will be (110.69, 136.51)

Part 2) 95% Confidence Interval
z value for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

Lower end of confidence interval = $m-z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Lower end of confidence interval= $123.6-1.96* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=108.22$

Upper end of confidence interval = $m+z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Upper end of confidence interval= $123.6+1.96* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=138.98$

Thus the 95% confidence interval will be (108.22, 138.98)

Part 3) 98% Confidence Interval
z value for 98% confidence interval = 2.327

Lower end of confidence interval = $m-z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Lower end of confidence interval= $123.6-2.327* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=105.34$
Upper end of confidence interval = $m+z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Upper end of confidence interval= $123.6+2.327* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=141.86$

Thus the 98% confidence interval will be (105.34, 141.86)

Part 4) Comparison of Confidence Intervals
The 90% confidence interval is: (110.69, 136.51)
The 95% confidence interval is: (108.22, 138.98)
The 98% confidence interval is: (105.34, 141.86)

As the level of confidence is increasing, the width of confidence interval is also increasing. So we can conclude that increasing the confidence level increases the width of confidence intervals.

A bridge in the shape of an arch connects two cities separated by a river. The two ends of the bridge are located at (–7, –13) a

sdas [7]

Answer:

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of an arch corresponds to a parabola.

the general equation for a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

we're given three coordinates: (-7,-13),(7,-13) and (0,0)

so we can plug these values in the general equation to make 3 separate equations:

(x,y) = (-7,-13)

$-13=a(-7)^2+b(-7)+c$

$49a-7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (7,-13)

$-13=a(7)^2+b(7)+c$

$49a+7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (0,0)

$0=a(0)^2+b(7)+c$

$c=0$

so we have three equations. and we can solve them simultaneously to find the values of a,b, and c.

we've already found c = 0, let's use substitute it to other equations.

$49a-7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a-7b=-13$

$49a+7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a+7b=-13$

we can solve these two equation using the elimination method, by simply adding the two equations

$\quad\quad49a-7b=-13\\+\quad49a+7b=-13$

------------------------------

$\quad\quad 98a=-26$

$\quad\quad a=-\dfrac{13}{49}$

Now we can plug this value of a in any of the two equations.

$49a-7b=-13$

$49\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)-7b=-13$

$-13-7b=-13$

$-7b=0$

$b=0$

We have the values of a,b, and c. We can plug them in the general equation to find the equation of the arch.

$y=\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)x^2+0x+0$

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

$49y=-13x^2$

This our equation of the arch!

A figure can be covered by 28 unit squares,without any gaps or overlaps.what is the area of the figure?

Tom [10]

Remember that the area of a square is just one of its sides squared. $A=s^2$
where
$A$ is the area of the square
$s$ is one of the sides of the square

Unit square is a square whose sides have length 1, so lets use our formula to find the volume of one unit square:
$A=s^2$
$A=1^2$
$A=1$
We now know that each one of the squares has area 1 unit squared. Since there are 28 unit square in our figure, we are going to multiply the area of a unit square by 28 to find the area of our figure:
Area of the figure= $28(1)=28$ units squared

We can conclude that the area of the figure is 28 units squared.
