The dean of students of a large community college claims that the average distance that commuting students travel to the campus

is 32 miles. The commuting students feel otherwise. A sample of 64 students was randomly selected and yielded a mean of 35 miles and a standard deviation of 5 miles. Find and interpret the 90% confidence interval for the average distance that commuting students travel to the campus.

<u>Answer</u>:(33.922, 36.078)

Interpretation : We are 90% confident that the true average distance that commuting students travel to the campus lies between 33.922 and 36.078.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the confidence interval for population mean (when population standard deviation is unknown):-

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

, where n = sample size.

\overline{x} = sample mean.

s = sample standard deviation.

t_{\alpha/2} = two tailed t-value respected to the given confidence level (or significance level) and degree of freedom.

Let x represents the distance that commuting students travel to the campus .

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} n= 60

Degree of freedom(df) = 59    [df= n-1]

\overline{x}=35

s=5

here, population standard deviation is not given , so we use t-test.

Confidence level : 90%

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.90=0.10

Critical value for Significance level of 0.10 and degree of freedom 63 :-

t_{{df, \alpha/2}}=t_{(63,0.05)}=1.6694

Then , the  90% confidence interval for the average distance that commuting students travel to the campus :-

35\pm (1.6694)\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{60}}\\\\ 35\pm 1.078\\\\=(35- 1.078,\ 35+ 1.078)\\\\=(33.922,\ 36.078)

Thus , the 90% confidence interval for the average distance that commuting students travel to the campus : (33.922, 36.078)

Interpretation : We are 90% confident that the true average distance that commuting students travel to the campus lies between 33.922 and 36.078.

Question: If the triangle is right, the hypotenuse is?? <br><br> Plsss help
raketka [301]

Answer:

the hypotenuse of the given triangle is 48.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the ways to detect the hypotenuse of a triangle are :

  • longest side of a right angled triangle is the hypotenuse of the triangle .
  • side opposite to the right angle ( 90° ) is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle .

<em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>given</em><em> </em><em>figure</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>longest</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>48</em><em>.</em><em>5</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>hence</em><em> </em><em>it's</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>hypotenuse</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>
