Phonics is an instructional method in which children are taught to connect sounds with letters or groups of letters. A sample of

134 first-graders who were learning English were asked to identify as many letter sounds as possible in a period of one minute. The average number of letter sounds identified was 34.06 with a standard deviation of 23.83.
(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean number of letter sounds identified in one minute.
(b) If a 95% confidence interval were constructed with these data, would it be wider or narrower than the interval constructed in part a? Explain.
(c) If a sample of 150 students had been studied, would you expect the confidence interval to be wider or narrower than the interval constructed in part (a) ?

Answer:

98% confidence interval: (29.25,38.87)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 34.06

Sample size, n = 134

Sample standard deviation, s = 23.83

a) 98% confidence interval

\bar{x} \pm z_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.02} = \pm 2.33  

34.06 \pm 2.33(\frac{23.83}{\sqrt{133}} ) = 34.06 \pm 4.81 = (29.25,38.87)

b)  If a 95% confidence interval were constructed with these data, confidence interval would be narrower as the confidence level is decreasing as compared to 98%

c)  If a sample of 150 students had been studied, the width of confidence interval will decrease as the sample size increases.

Solve the system y= 4x + 1 and 3x+2y =13
Irina18 [472]

Given :

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow  y= 4x + 1 \: –––– \sf \:  (i)}

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   3x + 2y = 13 \: –––– \sf \:  (ii)}

Now, Substituing the value of y in equation (ii) :

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 3x + 2y = 13   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 3x + 2(4x + 1) = 13   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 3x + 8x + 2 = 13   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 11x + 2 = 13   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 11x  = 13 - 2   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 11x  = 11   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: x  =  \dfrac{11}{11}    }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \bf \: x  = 1   }

Now, substituting the value of x in equation (i) :

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow  y= 4x + 1}

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow  y= 4(1) + 1}

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow  y= 4 + 1}

{\qquad \bf \dashrightarrow  y= 5}

Mrs. Jones has a local bakery. Last week this expression shows how many peanut butter cupcakes she baked. 5 (2x -4) + 3(3 + 4x)
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answers:

A: 11(2x-1)

B: 121 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A: </u>

We have the following expression that models the quantity of cupcakes Mrs. Jones baked last week:

5(2x -4) + 3(3 + 4x)

Applying distributive property:

10x-20+9+12x

Grouping similar terms:

22x-11

Applying common factor 11:

11(2x-1) This is the simplified expression

<u>Part B:</u>

Now that we have the simplified expresion, we have to evaluate how many cupcakes did Mrs. Jones bake if x=6:

11(2(6)-1)

11(12-1)=11(11)=121 Hence, Mrs. Jones baked 121 cupcakes last week
