Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know the mean of the Steve's scores on 6 of his tests. Given the six scores as 92, 78, 86, 92, 95, and 91.

Mean = sum of the scores/Total test taken

Mean = 92+78+86+92+95+ 91/6

Mean = 534/6

Mean = 89

If he took the seventh test and the mean score is raised by 1 them the new mean will be expressed as;

New mean = 92+78+86+92+95+ 91+x/7 = 89+1

Where x is the new score. Note that of a new score is added, the total year taken will also change to 7

To get x;

92+78+86+92+95+ 91+x/7 = 89+1

92+78+86+92+95+ 91+x/7 = 90

534+x/7 = 90

Cross multiply

533+x = 90×7

533+x = 630

x = 630-534

x = 96

Hence the score of the seventh test is 96

The standard deviation for actuary salaries has a standard deviation of $36,730 . You collect a simple random sample of n=36 sal
Yanka [14]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.

<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation for the population.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so the critical value is z = 1.96.

The other parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 111000, \sigma = 36730, n = 36

Hence, the lower bound of the interval is:

\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 111000 - 1.96\frac{36730}{\sqrt{36}} = 99002

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.

Answer:

When the probe reaches the ocean floor, the horizontal distance of the probe from the team's ship on the ocean's surface will be approximately 1625 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

tan=opposite/adjacent

tan67.4°=3900/x

2.40=3900/x

cross multiply

2.40x=3900

divide via by 2.40

2.40x/2.40=3900/2.40

x=1625

When the probe reaches the ocean floor, the horizontal distance of the probe from the team's ship on the ocean's surface will be approximately 1625 meters
