Answer:
<h2>10.295</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the value for calculating the confidence interval as given;
CI = xbar + Z*σ/√n
xbar is the mean = 37.14+42.86/2
xbar= 80/2
xbar = 40
Z is the z-score at the 90% confidence = 1.645
σ is the standard deviation
n is the sample size = 35
Given the confidence interval CI as [37.14, 42.86]
Using the maximum value of the confidence interval to get the value of the standard deviation, we will have;
42.86 = xbar + Z*σ/√n
42.86 = 40 + 1.645* σ/√35
42.86-40 = 1.645*σ/√35
2.86 = 1.645*σ/√35
2.86/1.645 = σ/√35
1.739 = σ/√35
1.739 = σ/5.92
σ= 1.739*5.92
σ = 10.295
Hence, the sample standard deviation of a pair of jeans is 10.295
let's firstly, convert the mixed fractions to improper, and then do equation.
![\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{4}{5}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+4}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{5}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{5}{7}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 7+5}{7}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{7}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B3%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%5Ccdot%205%2B4%7D%7B5%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B19%7D%7B5%7D%7D%0A~%5Chfill%0A%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B2%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B7%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B2%5Ccdot%207%2B5%7D%7B7%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B19%7D%7B7%7D%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%0A%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D)
The equation of the line is y = (1/2)x + 2
