Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the mean of the population is (59, 68.2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.

Sample mean:

\overline{x} = \frac{55+64+58+61+69+64+59+69+72+65}{10} = 63.6

Sample standard deviation:

s = \sqrt{\frac{(55-63.6)^2+(64-63.6)^2+(58-63.6)^2+(61-63.6)^2+(69-63.6)^2+(64-63.6)^2+(59-63.6)^2+(69-63.6)^2+(72-63.6)^2+(65-63.6)^2}{10}} = 5.142

Confidence interval:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, and thus, we use the t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 10 - 1 = 9

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99. So we have T = 2.821

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.821\frac{5.142}{\sqrt{10}} = 4.6

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 63.6 - 4.6 = 59

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 63.6 + 4.6 = 68.2.

The 98% confidence interval for the mean of the population is (59, 68.2).

(7z^3+42z^2-15z+1)- (36z^2+12z-21)​
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

7z^3+6z^2-27z+22

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is of subtraction:

So,

(7z^3+42z^2-15z+1)- (36z^2+12z-21)​

=7z^3+42z^2-15z+1-36z^2-12z+21

Combining alike terms to simplify

=​7z^3+42z^2-36z^2-15z-12z+1+21

=7z^3+6z^2-27z+22

So the answer in simplified form is:

7z^3+6z^2-27z+22 ..

Witch of the s-values satisfy the following inequality?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

the possible answer would be A, 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

6/2 is equal to 3 wholes. 7 minus 3 is 4. the sign > is used to indicate that the left number is greater than the right number, which is 3.  4 > 3 would be shown. this means that 6, or A, is the answer! :)

(6 IS ALSO THE ONLY OPTION. I NOTICED IT SAYS “ALL ANSWERS“
