Use the confidence level and sample data to find a confidence interval for estimating the population μ. Round your answer to the

same number of decimal places as the sample mean.
Test scores: n = 92, = 90.6, σ = 8.9; 99% confidence

Options:
A.) 88.2 < μ < 93.0
B.) 88.4 < μ < 92.8
C.) 89.1 < μ < 92.1
D.) 88.8 < μ < 92.4

Answer: Choice A.)   88.2 < μ < 93.0

=============================================================

Explanation:

We have this given info:

  • n = 92 = sample size
  • xbar = 90.6 = sample mean
  • sigma = 8.9 = population standard deviation
  • C = 99% = confidence level

Because n > 30 and because we know sigma, this allows us to use the Z distribution (aka standard normal distribution).

At 99% confidence, the z critical value is roughly z = 2.576; use a reference sheet, table, or calculator to determine this.

The lower bound of the confidence interval (L) is roughly

L = xbar - z*sigma/sqrt(n)

L = 90.6 - 2.576*8.9/sqrt(92)

L = 88.209757568781

L = 88.2

The upper bound (U) of this confidence interval is roughly

U = xbar + z*sigma/sqrt(n)

U = 90.6 + 2.576*8.9/sqrt(92)

U = 92.990242431219

U = 93.0

Therefore, the confidence interval in the format (L, U) is approximately (88.2, 93.0)

When converted to L < μ < U format, then we get approximately 88.2 < μ < 93.0 which shows that the final answer is choice A.

We're 99% confident that the population mean mu is somewhere between 88.2 and 93.0

If a cylindrical vase has a 63 cubic centimeter volume an a cone has the same height and radius as the cylinder what is the volu
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

21cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, calculation of given data are as follows,

Volume of cylindrical vase = 63cm^{3}

As, Cone has same height and radius as cylinder, than we can calculate volume of cone by using following formula,

Volume of cone = \frac{1}{3} × Volume of cylindrical vase

By putting the value, we get

Volume of cone = \frac{1}{3} × 63

Volume of cone = 21cm^{3}

!!Please Help!! Find the value of z to the nearest tenth.
serg [7]

Answer:

x = 14\sqrt{2}

y = 14

z= 14\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the top triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle and the triangle below is a 30-60-90 triangle.

Using the fact that the top triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle and also an isosceles triangle, we can see that <em>x</em> will be the same as its respective leg, 14\sqrt{2}

Now, we must find a side length of the bottom triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side of the top triangle, which is also a side of the bottom triangle. We can find that the third side must be 28. We can now use this to find the other sides of the bottom triangle.

Since <em>y</em> is opposite to the 30 degree angle, it is half of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse which we found earlier is 28, therefore, <em>y</em> is 14. <em>z </em>is then 14\sqrt{3} using either Pythagorean Theorem or special right triangle properties for 30-60-90.

When p = 12, t = 2, and s = 1/6, r = 18. If r varies directly with p and inversely with the product of s and t, what is the cons
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
R = kp/st
18 = 12k/(1/6 x 2)
18 = 12k/(1/3)
18 = 36k

Answer:

x should be 1

I think if you substitute it will just be the index 2 that remains , not sure though .You should probably ask your teacher for assistance
