Answer:

1a)Confidence Interval: (77.936,82.064)

b)Confidence Interval: (79.020, 80.980)

c)Confidence Interval: (79.510, 80.490)

d) As the sample size increases, the confidence interval for the lower class (bound) increases while that of the upper class(bound) decreases.

2a)Confidence Interval: (491.609

, 502.797)

b)Confidence Interval: (483.218, 516.782)

c)Confidence Interval: (466.436,533.564)

d)As the standard deviation increases, the confidence interval for the lower class (bound) decreases while that of the upper class(bound) increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 a) A random sample of 25 was drawn from a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 5. The sample mean is 80.

The formula for confidence Interval is:

C.I = Mean ± z score × Standard deviation/√n

Note to apply the formula above n greater than or equal to 30

a) Determine the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean.

For a, the confidence interval formula above cannot be applied because n is less than 30, so we use the t score confidence interval value

C.I = Mean ± t score × Standard deviation/√n

Mean = 80

Standard deviation = 5

n = 25

Degree of freedom = 25 - 1 = 24

Hence, 95% confidence interval degree of freedom t score = 2.064

Hence, Confidence Interval =

80 ± 2.064 × 5/√25

80 ± 2.064 × 1

80 ± 2.064

Confidence Interval =

80 - 2.064

= 77.936

80 + 2.064

= 82.064

Confidence Interval: (77.936, 82.064)

b) Repeat part (a) with a sample size of 100.

C.I = Mean ± z score × Standard deviation/√n

Mean = 80

Standard deviation = 5

n = 100

z score for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 5/√100

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 5/10

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 0.5

C.I = 80 ± 0.980

Confidence Interval =

80 - 0.980

= 79.020

80 + 0.980

= 80.980

Confidence Interval: (79.020, 80.980)

c) Repeat part (a) with a sample size of 400.

C.I = Mean ± z score × Standard deviation/√n

Mean = 80

Standard deviation = 5

n = 400

z score for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 5/√400

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 5/20

C.I = 80 ± 1.96 × 0.25

C.I = 80 ± 0.490

Confidence Interval =

80 - 0.490

= 79.510

80 + 0.490

= 80.490

Confidence Interval: (79.510, 80.490)

d) As the sample size increases, the confidence interval for the lower class (bound) increases while that of the upper class(bound) decreases.

2a) The mean of a sample of 25 was calculated as ¯x=500. The sample was randomly drawn from a population with a standard deviation of 15.

For a,b and c the confidence interval formula above cannot be applied because n is less than 30, so we use the t score confidence interval value

C.I = Mean ± t score × Standard deviation/√n

a) Mean = 500

Standard deviation = 15

n = 25

Degree of freedom = 25 - 1 = 24

Hence, 99% confidence interval degree of freedom t score = 2.064

Hence, Confidence Interval =

500 ± 2.797 × 15/√25

500 ± 2.797 × 15/5

500 ± 2.797 × 3

Confidence Interval =

500 - 8.391

= 491.609

500 + 8.391

= 508.391

Confidence Interval: (491.609, 508.391)

b) Repeat part (a) changing the population standard deviation to 30

Hence, Confidence Interval =

500 ± 2.797 × 30/√25

500 ± 2.797 × 30/5

500 ± 2.797 × 6

500 ± 16.782

Confidence Interval =

500 - 16.782

= 483.218

500 + 16.782

= 516.782

Confidence Interval: (483.218, 516.782)

c) Repeat part(a) changing to the population standard deviation to 60.

Hence, Confidence Interval =

500 ± 2.797 × 60/√25

500 ± 2.797 × 60/5

500 ± 2.797 × 12

500 ± 33.564

Confidence Interval =

500 - 33.564

= 466.436

500 + 33.564

= 533.564

Confidence Interval: (466.436,533.564)

d)As the standard deviation increases, the confidence interval for the lower class (bound) decreases while that of the upper class(bound) increases.

What is the value of x ?
OLga [1]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

90 = 60 + (x + 10)

90 - 60 = x + 10

30 = x + 10

30 - 10 = x

20 = x

Dylan and Spencer went looking for Dylan's lost dog. Dylan traveled 100 meters to the neighbor’s house, 1.5 kilometers to the pe
pickupchik [31]
So Dylan traveled a total of 
100 meters (to the neighbors house)
plus 1.5 kilometers which a kilometer means thousand meters so its really 1500 meters
plus 310 meters

For Dylans distance we can do 100 + 1500 + 310 = 1910
Specers distance is given which is 1269

To find the final answer we can do Dylans distance minus Spencers so 1910 - 1269 which equals 641.

The correct answer would be that Dylan traveled 641 meters farther than Spencer

Answer: 641 

Hope this helps!

A circle has its center at (−2, 5) and a radius of 4 units. Find the equation of the circle using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Vesnalui [34]
The pythagorean theorem is only used for right triangles? however, you can find the equation with the info given. a circle is written as (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2. in this scenario, h=-2, k=5, and r=4.

Your final equation would be (x+2)^2+(y-5)^2=16

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x = 14

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x + 8y =4

x = -3y + 5

Required

Solve

Substitute x = -3y + 5 in 2x + 8y =4

2(-3y + 5) + 8y =4

Open bracket

-6y + 10 + 8y =4

Collect like terms

-6y +  8y =4-10

2y =-6

Divide both sides by 2

y = -3

Substitute y = -3 in x = -3y + 5

x = -3 * -3 + 5

x = 9+ 5

x = 14
