A random sample of college basketball players had an average height of 63.45 inches. Based on this sample, (62.1, 64.8) found to

be a 96% confidence interval for the population mean height of college basketball players. Select the correct answer to interpret this interval.a. We are 96% confident that the population mean height of college basketball palyers is 63.45 inches.b. A 96% of college basketball players have height between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.c. There is a 96% chance that the population mean height of college basketball players is between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.d. We are 96% confident that the population mean height of college basketball players is between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.

Answer:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

And for this case the confidence interval is given by (62.1; 64.8)

Now we need to interpret this confidence interval and we can conclude this:

d. We are 96% confident that the population mean height of college basketball players is between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.

And the reason of this is because the principal interest when we create a confidence interval is in order to estimate the population mean \mu at some level of confidence, and for this reason we can't asociate this to a chance or a probability.

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=63.45 represent the sample mean

\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)

And for this case the confidence interval is given by (62.1; 64.8)

Now we need to interpret this confidence interval and we can conclude this:

d. We are 96% confident that the population mean height of college basketball players is between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.

And the reason of this is because the principal interest when we create a confidence interval is in order to estimate the population mean \mu at some level of confidence, and for this reason we can't asociate this to a chance or a probability.

A ladder 10 feet long rests against a vertical wall. Initially, the top of the ladder is 8 feet above the ground. If the top of
lora16 [44]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let vertical height of ladder from ground be y and

horizontal distance of the base of the ladder from the wall be x respectively.

Length of the ladder = l (constant) = 10 ft

<u>Using Pythagoras theorem</u>:

{l}^{2}  =  {y}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}

Differentiate both sides w.r.t time

0 = 2y \frac{dy}{dt}  + 2x \frac{dx}{dt}

y \frac{dy}{dt}  + x \frac{dx}{dt}  = 0

<u>We know that</u> (After 1 sec, y = 6 ft and x = 8 ft ; dy/dt = 2 ft/sec)

6\times 2 + 8\frac{dx}{dt}  = 0

\frac{dx}{dt}  =  - 1.5 ft  \: per \: sec

<u>( Ignore - ive sign)</u>

Therefore, bottom of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a speed of 1.5 ft/sec one second after the ladder starts sliding.
