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 performer expects to sell 5,000 tickets for an upcoming concert. They want to make a total of $311, 000 in sales from these ti
Annette [7]

The price of one ticket is $ 62.2

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that a performer expects to sell 5000 tickets for an upcoming event

They want to make a total of $ 311, 000 in sales from these tickets

<em><u>To find: price of one ticket</u></em>

Let us assume that all tickets have the same price

Let "a" be the price of one ticket

So the total sales price of $ 311, 000 is obtained from product of 5000 tickets and price of one ticket

\text {total sales price }=5000 \times \text { price of one ticket }

311000 = 5000 \times a\\\\a = \frac{311000}{5000}\\\\a = 62.2

Thus the price of one ticket is $ 62.2

If ray ST bisects ∠RSU and m∠TSU=43°, find m∠RSU.
melomori [17]

Answer:  86 degrees

Explanation:

Angle TSU is formed when we bisect angle RSU. Recall that bisect means to cut in half. So TSU is half of RSU. Put another way, RSU is twice that of TSU.

angle RSU = 2*(angle TSU)

angle RSU = 2*43

angle RSU = 86
