ASK YOUR TEACHER An article reported that for a sample of 42 kitchens with gas cooking appliances monitored during a one-week pe

riod, the sample mean CO2 level (ppm) was 654.16, and the sample standard deviation was 165.23. (a) Calculate and interpret a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for true average CO2 level in the population of all homes from which the sample was selected. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Answer:

654.16-2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=602.66    

654.16+2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=705.66    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (602.66;705.66)

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=654.16 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=165.23 represent the sample standard deviation

n=42 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)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=42-1=41

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,41)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.02

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

654.16-2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=602.66    

654.16+2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=705.66    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (602.66;705.66)

Evaluate (-7)2. <br><br><br> p l e a s e<br> a n s w e r <br> q u i c k\
devlian [24]

Answer:

(-7)2 = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

The parenthesis basically mean "multiply". So, this is a simple equation meaning -7 x 2. And remember, anytime we multiply a positive by a negative, you get a negative. So, simply multiply 7 x 2 = 14 and add a negative sign to make the solution true. So, -7 x 2 or (-7)2 = -14

Hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or your teacher to be sure you master the subject. Also thank you for the generous points!! Stay safe and please mark brainliest!!

The width of a rectangle is 3x – 3. Its perimeter is 10x + 6. Find the length of the rectangle.
maks197457 [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first possibility

2(width) + 2(length) = perimeter

2(3x-3) + 2(length) = 10x+6

6x - 6 + 2(length) = 10x+6

2(length) = 4x + 12

length = 2x + 6

The second possibility.

rondhesha chodado in The width of a rectangle is 3x – 3. Its perimeter is 10x + 6. Find the length of the rectangle.

So you have the perimeter, P, can be found by doing u+u+v+v.

Simplifying gives:

P=2u+2v.

You are given the width is (3x-3).  Choose this to be u or v but not both.

Perimeter is given a (10x+6).

Let's plug this in:

(10x+6)=2(3x-3)+2v

We are solving for v.

First step: Distribute where you can:

10x+6=6x-6+2v

Now we want to isolate v.

So we will need to subtract (6v-6) on both sides:

 (10x+6)=2v

- (6x -6)

----------------------

4x+12  =2v

The right hand side contains a factor of 2.

The left hand side does too since 4x+12 can be factored as 2(2x+6).

2(2x+6)=2v

This implies v is 2x+6.

Let's check our work.

We have two sides with measurement 2x+6:  (2x+6)+(2x+6)=4x+12

We have two sides with measurement 3x-3:   (3x-3)+(3x-3)=  6x-6

Let's add those sums to find the perimeter:                             10x+6

That is the intended
