Students in a statistics class are conducting a survey to estimate the mean number of units students at their college are enroll

ed in. The students collect a random sample of 47 students. The mean of the sample is 12.3 units. The sample has a standard deviation of 1.9 units.What is the 95% confidence interval for the average number of units that students in their college are enrolled in? Assume that the distribution of individual student enrollment units at this college is approximately normal.(____,______)Your answer should be rounded to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

(11.76, 12.84)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we can assume that the distribution of individual student enrollment units at this college is approximately normal.

Sample mean =12.3

sample std dev s = 1.9 units

Sample size = 47

Std error = $\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{47} } \\=0.277$

Z critical value for 95% = 1.96

Margin of error = $1.96*0.277=0.543$

Confidence interval =

$(12.3-0.543, 12.3+0.543)\\= (11.757, 12.843)$

=(11.76, 12.84)

Find sin2x, cos2x, and tan2x if sinx=-15/17 and x terminates in quadrant III

vodka [1.7K]

Given:

$\sin x=-\dfrac{15}{17}$

x lies in the III quadrant.

To find:

The values of $\sin 2x, \cos 2x, \tan 2x$ .

Solution:

It is given that x lies in the III quadrant. It means only tan and cot are positive and others are negative.

We know that,

$\sin^2 x+\cos^2 x=1$

$(-\dfrac{15}{17})^2+\cos^2 x=1$

$\cos^2 x=1-\dfrac{225}{289}$

$\cos x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{289-225}{289}}$

x lies in the III quadrant. So,

$\cos x=-\sqrt{\dfrac{64}{289}}$

$\cos x=-\dfrac{8}{17}$

Now,

$\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x$

$\sin 2x=2\times (-\dfrac{15}{17})\times (-\dfrac{8}{17})$

$\sin 2x=-\dfrac{240}{289}$

And,

$\cos 2x=1-2\sin^2x$

$\cos 2x=1-2(-\dfrac{15}{17})^2$

$\cos 2x=1-2(\dfrac{225}{289})$

$\cos 2x=\dfrac{289-450}{289}$

$\cos 2x=-\dfrac{161}{289}$

We know that,

$\tan 2x=\dfrac{\sin 2x}{\cos 2x}$

$\tan 2x=\dfrac{-\dfrac{240}{289}}{-\dfrac{161}{289}}$

$\tan 2x=\dfrac{240}{161}$

Therefore, the required values are $\sin 2x=-\dfrac{240}{289},\cos 2x=-\dfrac{161}{289},\tan 2x=\dfrac{240}{161}$ .

What is the value of x? <br><br>Enter your answer in the box.

scoray [572]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lines in the middle are parallel, we know that both sides are proportional to each other.

6:48 can be simplified to 1:8

Since we know the left side ratio is 1:8, we need to match the right side with the same ratio

We can multiply the ratio by 5 to match 5:3x+7

5:40

5:3x+7

Now we can set up the equation: 40=3x+7

Subtract 7 from both sides

3x=33

x=11

Cody and Jordan were selling Flamin' Hot Cheetos to raise money for the Tornados. Cody sold 5 bags of Cheetos for every 3 bags J

andrew11 [14]

They sold 160 and for each 5 bags sold by one 3 bags are sold by another 3+5=8.

160/8=20.

Now Since Cody Sold 5 Bags for every 3 bags for Jordan

5x20=100

3x20=60

Cody Sold 100 and Jordan Sold 60

Please help! Find the domain of y = 4 square root 4x + 2

olga55 [171]

Answer:

x ≥ -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we cannot graph imaginary numbers. Therefore, our <em>x </em>value has to be greater than or equal to 0:

To find our domain, we need to set the square root equal to zero:

√(4x + 2) = 0

4x + 2 = 0

4x = -2

x = -1/2

We now know that no value below -1/2 can be used or we will get an imaginary number. Therefore, our answer is x ≥ -1/2

Alternatively, we can graph the function and analyze domain:
