The following data was collected from a local high school and represents the number of points the women's basketball team scored

in their first 10 games: 62, 55, 49, 71, 39, 66, 56, 57, 44, 48. If we wanted to calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the population mean, what would the correct critical value be

Answer:

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=10-1=9

The confidence level is 0.95 or 95%, the significance would be \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, the critical value for this case would be t_{\alpha/2}=2.262

And replacing we got:

54.7-2.262\frac{9.956}{\sqrt{10}}=47.58    

54.7+2.262\frac{9.956}{\sqrt{10}}=61.82    

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}} (3)  

\bar X= 54.7 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean  

s=9.956 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=10-1=9

The confidence level is 0.95 or 95%, the significance would be \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, the critical value for this case would be t_{\alpha/2}=2.262

And replacing we got:

54.7-2.262\frac{9.956}{\sqrt{10}}=47.58    

54.7+2.262\frac{9.956}{\sqrt{10}}=61.82

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

School A.

Step-by-step explanation:

School A:  % who plan to go to college = (432/450) * 100

= 96%.

School B:  % who plan to go to college = (361/380) * 100

= 95%.

Calculate the perimeter of the figure below.
mote1985 [20]

Well, we know perimeter is just adding all the lengths together.

And we already know 2 of the lengths, so we know the rest. 11 1/2 is the same as the opposite side, and 6 1/3 is the same as the opposite side.

So the sides are 6 1/3, 6 1/3, 11 1/2, 11 1/2.

Add them up:

6 1/3 + 6 1/3 + 11 1/2 + 11 1/2.

Improper fractions:

19/3 + 19/3 + 23/2 + 23/2.

Common denominator, (6):

38/6 + 38/6 + 69/6 + 69/6 = 214/6.

Simplify:

214/6 =  35 2/3

If you run a marathon of 26 1/5 miles in a time of 5 4/5 how far do you run in 1 hour<br><br>pls
alisha [4.7K]

First let's make both the miles and the hours ran improper fractions:

26+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{131}{5}\\ 5+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{29}{5}

So, to find our miles per hour, we have to divide the miles by the hours to get: \frac{\frac{131}{5}\text{miles}}{\frac{29}{5}\text{hours}}=\frac{131\text{miles}}{29\text{hours}} \\ \text{ Now we have to divide the top and the bottom by 29 to get our miles per hour so: }\\ \frac{\frac{131}{29}}{\text{hour}} \approx \frac{4.52 \text{miles}}{\text{hour}}
