Answer:

$28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872$

$28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)

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".

$\bar X=28$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=10 represent the sample standard deviation

n=25 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:

$df=n-1=25-1=24$

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(0.025,24)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.064$

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

$28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872$

$28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)

While visiting a memorial, a person approximated the angle of elevation to the top of the memorial to be 35º. After walking 255

Alenkasestr [34]

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.

Let h the height of the hill. =

At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.

By definition,

tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x

(1)

At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is

40 + 18 = 58°.

By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)

h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)

h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)

Equate (1) and (2).

1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135

x = 946.0523

From (1), obtain

h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft

Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)

The U.S. Flag has 50 white stars, 6 white stripes, and 7 red stripes. What is the relationship between stars and total stripes?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The relationship between stars and total stripes are 50 : 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add all the stripes, it equals 13. There are 50 stars so this is the answer.

Roger is building a storage shed with wood blocks that are in the shape of cubic prisms. Can he build a shed that is twice as hi

azamat

Complete question is;

Roger is building a storage shed with wood blocks that are in the shape of cubic prisms. Can he build a shed that is twice as high as it is wide?

A. Yes. For every block of width, he could build two blocks high.

B. Yes. He could use half as many blocks for the height as the width.

C. There is no way to determine if he can do this.

D. No, it is not possible to do this

Answer:

A. Yes. For every block of width, he could build two blocks high.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the wood blocks are in the shape of cubic prisms.

Now, cube shapes means that all sides are equal.

Now, if he divides the cube into 2, he can use one have to add to the top to make the height double since the sides are equal.

Thus, the height will now be twice a side of the cubic prism.

Thus, he can build a shed twice as high as its width.
