A study of traffic violations on a busy highway finds that the number of tickets for speeding written by officers tends to decre

ase on rainy days. A police sergeant explains that driver behavior could be a confounding variable.
Which statement best explains the confounding variable in this study?

On sunny days, more tickets for speeding are written than on rainy days.
Officers are less likely to want to leave their police cars to write tickets on rainy days.
Drivers may drive more carefully on rainy days, so the number of speeding tickets decreases.
Drivers are more likely to speed on rainy days to get to their destination faster.

Find the range of the data. scores: 84, 83, 80, 95, 99, 95, 83, 83, 92, 84
In-s [12.5K]
To find the range of these scores, we must take the largest scores and subtract the smallest from it.

The largest score is 99, and the smallest score is 80.

99 - 80 = 19

A triangle has a hypotenuse of length 25 and one leg of length 24. What is the tangent of the larger acute angle of the triangle
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

\sin( \theta)  =  \frac{24}{25}  \\  \theta =  { \sin }^{ - 1} ( \frac{24}{25} ) \\  \theta = 73.7 \degree \\  \\  \tan( \theta)  =  \tan(73.7 \degree)  \\  = 3.4

A random sample of 20 recent weddings in a country yielded a mean wedding cost of $ 26,388.67. Assume that recent wedding costs
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

a) 95% confidence interval for the mean​cost, μ​, of all recent weddings in this country = (22,550.95, 30,226.40)

.The​ 95% confidence interval is from $22,550.95 to $30,226.40.

b) For the interpretation of the result, option D is correct.

We can be​ 95% confident that the mean​ cost, μ​, of all recent weddings in this country is somewhere within the confidence interval.

c) Option B is correct.

The population mean may or may not lie in this​ interval, but we can be​ 95% confident that it does.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 20

Sample Mean = $26,388.67

Sample Standard deviation = $8200

Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Sample Mean = 26,388.67

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Critical value will be obtained using the t-distribution. This is because there is no information provided for the population mean and standard deviation.

To find the critical value from the t-tables, we first find the degree of freedom and the significance level.

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19.

Significance level for 95% confidence interval

(100% - 95%)/2 = 2.5% = 0.025

t (0.025, 19) = 2.086 (from the t-tables)

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√n)

σ = standard deviation of the sample = 8200

n = sample size = 20

σₓ = (8200/√20) = 1833.6

99% Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

CI = 26,388.67 ± (2.093 × 1833.6)

CI = 26,388.67 ± 3,837.7248

99% CI = (22,550.9452, 30,226.3948)

99% Confidence interval = (22,550.95, 30,226.40)

a) 95% confidence interval for the mean​cost, μ​, of all recent weddings in this country = (22,550.95, 30,226.40)

.The​ 95% confidence interval is from $22,550.95 to $30,226.40.

b) The interpretation of the confidence interval obtained, just as explained above is that we can be​ 95% confident that the mean​ cost, μ​,of all recent weddings in this country is somewhere within the confidence interval

c) A further explanation would be that the population mean may or may not lie in this​ interval, but we can be​ 95% confident that it does.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the value of X
kozerog [31]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is isosceles ( 2 congruent sides )

Hence the base angles are congruent, thus

3x = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 20
