So he has to read 500 and he already read 260 500 - 260 = 240. 240 divided by 30 equals 8. So the answer will be 8 days

Answer:

$3.15-1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.003$

$3.15+ 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.297$

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (3.003;3.297)

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}= 0.147$

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".

$\bar X=3.15$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=0.38$ represent the population standard deviation

n=11 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.80 or 80%, the value of $\alpha=0.2$ and $\alpha/2 =0.1$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NOR.INV(0.1,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.28$

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

$3.15-1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.003$

$3.15+ 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.297$

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (3.003;3.297)

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}= 0.147$

Find the measure of the numbered angles for the parallelogram in question one!!!

vodka [1.7K]

1) 70
2) 110
3) 70

because 110 is equivalent to angle 2. angle 1 and 3 are also equivalent so you add 110 + 110 which equals 220 and subtract 360-220 which equals 140 and divide by 2 to get angles 1 and 3.
