Insert 3 rational numbers between

Mathematics

Answer:

\frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  \\ \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  } \\ \sqrt{ \frac{1}{5} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  }

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two numbers x and y, their geometric mean is defined as

\sqrt{xy}

Let that number be m, and let x be the smallest of the two numbers.

You know for sure that

x \leqslant m \leqslant y

Since

m  \geqslant  \sqrt{ {x}^{2} }

And

m \leqslant  \sqrt{ {y}^{2} }

With equality holding if and only if x=y.

So, we can use the geometric mean to generate numbers which are for sure between two desired values. For example:

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4} \times  \frac{1}{5}  }  <  \frac{1}{5}

The middle term is of course irrational, since it's equal to

\frac{1}{  \sqrt{20}  }  =  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}

Now we can do the same thing with our newfound value which we know to be between 1/4 and 1/5:

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20} }  <  \frac{1}{5}

And

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{5} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  }  <  \frac{1}{5}

When obtaining a confidence interval for a population mean in the case of a finite population of size N and a sample size n whic
Elanso [62]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval for the mean

142.8 \leq\mu\leq158.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean of a finite population.

The error is multiplied by the following finite population correction factor:

cf=\sqrt{\frac{N-n}{N-1} }

The standard deviation can be estimated as

\sigma=\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \sqrt{\frac{N-n}{N-1} } =\frac{24.4}{\sqrt{32} }* \sqrt{\frac{200-32}{200-1} }=3.963

The 95% confidence interval has a z value of 1.96, so it becomes:

M-z*\sigma_c\leq\mu\leq M+z*\sigma_c\\\\150.6-1.96*3.963\leq\mu\leq 150.6+1.96*3.963\\\\ 142.8 \leq\mu\leq 158.4

Which of the following statements best describes the effect of replacing the graph of y = f(x) with the graph of y = f(x) + 20?
Veronika [31]
The correct answer is the graph is shifted up by 20 units.

When a number is added to or subtracted from f(x), it translates the graph of f(x) either up or down or we can say it moves the graph of f(x) vertically up or down. Addition of a number moves it vertically up and subtraction moves it vertically down.

In this case 20 is being added to f(x), so this will shift the graph of f(x) 20 units up.
