Suppose that a random sample of 10 adults has a mean score of 62 on a standardized personality test, with a standard deviation o

f 4 . (A higher score indicates a more personable participant.) If we assume that scores on this test are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval.

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test is between 59.92 and 64.08. The lower end is 59.92, and the upper end is 64.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*\frac{4}{\sqrt{10}} = 2.08

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 62 - 2.08 = 59.92

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 62 + 2.08 = 64.08.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test is between 59.92 and 64.08. The lower end is 59.92, and the upper end is 64.08.

Explain the distance formula. Then use it to calculate the distance between A(1,1) and B (7,-7)
crimeas [40]

The distance formula is given by:

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }

We are given two points A and B as

A(1,1) and

B(7,-7)

so we have ,

x1 = 1 , y1=1

x2= 7 and y2=-7

Plugging these in the formula we have:

d=\sqrt{(7-1)^{2}+(-7-1)^{2} }

d=√(36+64)

d=√100

d=10

Answer: The distance between A(1,1) and B(7,-7) is 10

If r=8 and h=4, what is the volume of the cylinder shown above
Inessa05 [86]
Lets get started :)

The Volume formula of a Cylinder is 
V = \pir²h
(r = radius, h = height)

The radius given is 8 and the height is 4, We can plug in the known values

V = \pi(8)²(4)
   = \pi256
   = 256\pi units³ (You can leave the answer in this form)
   ≈ 804.2 units³ (approximately)

Units³ because it is a volume (3D shape)
