You have been doing research for your statistics class on the prevalence of severe binge drinking among teens. You have decided

to use 2011 Monitoring the Future (MTF) data that have a scale (from 0 to 14) measuring the number of times teens drank 10 or more alcoholic beverages in a single sitting in the past 2 weeks.
a. According to 2011 MTF data, the average severe binge drinking score, for this sample of 914 teens, is 1.27, with a standard deviation of 0.80. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the true averse severe binge drinking score.
b. On of your classmates, who claims to be good at statistics, complains about your confidence interval calculation. She or he asserts that the severe binge drinking scores are not normally distributed, which in turn makes the confidence interval calculation meaningless. Assume that she or he is correct about the distribution of severe binge drinking scores. Does that imply that the calculation of a confidence interval is not appropriate? Why or why not?

Answer:

(1.218 ; 1.322)

the confidence interval is appropriate

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval :

Mean ± margin of error

Sample mean = 1.27

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.80

Sample size, n = 914

Since we are using tbe sample standard deviation, we use the T table ;

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/√n

Tcritical at 95% ; df = 914 - 1 = 913

Tcritical(0.05, 913) = 1.96

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.80/√914 = 0.05186

Mean ± margin of error

1.27 ± 0.05186

Lower boundary = 1.27 - 0.05186 = 1.218

Upper boundary = 1.27 + 0.05186 = 1.322

(1.218 ; 1.322)

According to the central limit theorem, sample means will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases. Hence, the confidence interval is valid, the sample size of 914 gave a critical value at 0.05 which is only marginally different from that will obtained using a normal distribution table. Hence, the confidence interval is appropriate

The answer to this question is B, (-infinity, -28]. 

We can get this answer by first multiplying each side of the inequality by 7. That would get rid of the fraction. When one does that, the result is d + 28 \leq 0. That means that d \leq -28. In interval notation, which is the notation the problem is asking us, that would be (-infinity, -28], since d is all values less than -28 this includes infinity, but it also includes -28, so there is a ] around it. That means that the answer to this question is B, (-infinity, -28].

part 3. Find the value of the trig function indicated, use Pythagorean theorem to find the third side if you need it.​
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:  \bold{9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{1}{3}\qquad 10)\ \sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{5}\qquad 11)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 12)\ \tan \theta = \dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c²   , <em>where "c" is the hypotenuse</em>

<em />

9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{4}{12}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}

Note: 4² + (8√2)² = hypotenuse²   →   hypotenuse = 12

10)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{16}{20}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{5}}

Note: 12² + opposite² = 20²   →   opposite = 16

11)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}

Note: adjacent² + 5² = 6²   →   adjacent = √11

12)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{17}{13\sqrt2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}

Note: adjacent² + 7² = (13√2)²   →   adjacent = 17

Vertical shift is -2. Horizontal shift is 1. Check the box that says reflect over x-axis. Horizontal shrink should be 4. Then to check if it looks right go to Desmos.com and in the graphing calculator put in y=-4(x-1)^2-2 and see if it looks like the one you did in your work
