Answer:

a

   \= x  = 18.5  ,  \sigma =  5.15

b

 15.505 < \mu <  21.495

c

 14.93 < \mu <  22.069

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are are told that

    The  sample data is  21, 14, 13, 24, 17, 22, 25, 12

     The sample size is  n  = 8

Generally the ample mean is evaluated as

        \= x  =  \frac{\sum x  }{n}

        \= x  =  \frac{  21 + 14 + 13 + 24 + 17 + 22+ 25 + 12  }{8}

         \= x  = 18.5

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as

         \sigma =  \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x- \=x )^2}{n}}

\sigma =  \sqrt{\frac{\sum ((21 - 18.5)^2 + (14-18.5)^2+ (13-18.5)^2+ (24-18.5)^2+ (17-18.5)^2+ (22-18.5)^2+ (25-18.5)^2+ (12 -18.5)^2 )}{8}}

\sigma =  5.15

considering part b

Given that the confidence level is  90% then the significance level is evaluated as

         \alpha  =  100-90

         \alpha  = 10\%

         \alpha  = 0.10

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{ \alpha }{2}  from the normal distribution table the value is  

     Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }  =  1.645

The margin of error is mathematically represented as

      E =  Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>    E =1.645  *  \frac{5.15 }{\sqrt{8} }

=>     E =  2.995

The 90% confidence interval is evaluated as

       \= x  -  E < \mu <  \= x +  E

substituting values

       18.5 -  2.995 < \mu <  18.5 +  2.995

       15.505 < \mu <  21.495

considering part c

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the significance level is evaluated as

         \alpha  =  100-95

         \alpha  = 5\%

         \alpha  = 0.05

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{ \alpha }{2}  from the normal distribution table the value is  

     Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }  =  1.96

The margin of error is mathematically represented as

      E =  Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>    E =1.96  *  \frac{5.15 }{\sqrt{8} }

=>     E = 3.569

The 95% confidence interval is evaluated as

       \= x  -  E < \mu <  \= x +  E

substituting values

       18.5 - 3.569 < \mu <  18.5 +  3.569

       14.93 < \mu <  22.069

find the area of triangle qpm. round the answer to the nearest tenth. a. 5.2 square units b. 6.3 square units c. 6.5 square unit
viva [34]
Pls. see attachment. 

We need to solve for the angles of the smaller triangle in order to solve for the angle of the larger triangle which would help us solve the missing measurement of a side.

Given:

51 degrees.

Cut the triangle into two equal sides and it forms a right triangle. All interior angles of a triangle sums up to 180 degrees.

180 – 51 – 90 = 39 degrees

39 degrees * 2 = 78 degrees.

Angle Q is 78 degrees.

In the bigger triangle, 4.3 is the hypotenuse. We need to solve for the measurement of the long leg which is the opposite of the 78 degree angle.

We will use the formula:

Sine theta = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin(78 deg) = opposite / 4.3

Sin(78 deg) * 4.3 = opposite

4.21 = opposite. This is also the height of the triangle.

 

Area of a triangle = ½ * base * height

A = ½ * 3units * 4.21units

A = 6.315 square units.

Find the missing length indicated 144 and 60
Alexxandr [17]

The missing length in the right triangle as given in the task content is; 156.

<h3>What is the missing length indicated?</h3>

It follows from the complete question that the triangle given is a right triangle and the missing length (longest side) can be evaluated by means of the Pythagoras theorem as follows;

x² = 144² + 60²

x² = 20736 + 3600

x² = 24,336

x = √24336

x = 156.

Remarks: The complete question involves a right triangle and the missing length is the longest side.
