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.

Answer:

\boxed{

\boxed{

Step-by-step explanation:

A) If AB is a diameter, Then ACB is a 90 degrees angle because In a semi-circle (AB is a diameter which divides the circle into 2 equal parts), the angle opposite to the diameter is of 90 degrees.

So, <ACB = 90 degrees

Then <a = 180-90-28

=> <a = 62 degrees

B) The opposite interior angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle add up to 180 degrees.

So,

=> <a + <b = 180

=> <b = 180-62

=> <b = 118 degrees

Find the distance between the points with polar coordinates (3, 120°) and (0.5, 49°)
nikklg [1K]
X 1 = 3 * cos 120° = - 3 cos 60° = - 3/2 = - 1.5
y 1 = 3 * sin 120° = 3 sin 60° = 3√3 / 2 = 2.598
x 2 = 0.5 * cos 49° = 0.328
y 2 = 0.5 * sin 49° = 0.37735479
--------------------------------------------
d = [( x 2 - x 1 )² + ( y 2 - y 1 )²]^(1/2)
d = [ ( 0.328 + 1.5 )² + ( 0.37735479 - 2.598) ] ^(1/2)
d = ( 3.341584 +4.931265 )^(1/2)
Answer: The distance is :
d = 2.876256
