A student working on a report about mathematicians decides to find the 98% confidence interval for the difference in mean age at

the time of math discovery for Greek mathematicians versus Egyptian mathematicians. The student finds the ages at the time of math discovery for members of both groups, which include all Greek and Egyptian mathematicians, and uses a calculator to determine the 98% confidence interval based on the t distribution. Why is this procedure not appropriate in this context? (4 points)

Answer:

The entire population is measured in both cases, so the actual difference in means can be computed and a confidence interval should not be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student working on a report about mathematicians decides to find the 98% confidence interval for the difference in mean age at the time of math discovery for Greek mathematicians versus Egyptian mathematicians. The student finds the ages at the time of math discovery for members of both groups, which include all Greek and Egyptian mathematicians, and uses a calculator to determine the 98% confidence interval based on the t distribution, <u>the entire population is measured in both cases, so the actual difference in means can be computed and a confidence interval should not be used.</u> There is no as such explanation of this scenario, its just the answer mentioned above.

I’m the triangle shown below what is the approximate value of x
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is choice B: 22.52 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagoras's theorem which says for a right triangle with sides x,y and hypotenuse z:

x^2+y^2=z^2.

In our case

z=26

y=13

So we solve for x:

x=\sqrt{z^2-y^2}=\sqrt{26^2-13^2}  =\boxed{22.52\: units.}

Which is choice B.

SpyIntel [72]
G(x)=x²
The graph  has moved to the right 4 units, therefore the new graph will be:
H(x)=(x-4)²

It has also move 4 units up, therefore the new graph will be:
F(x)=(x-4)²+4

Answer: 
F(x)=(x-4)²+4
