Phonics is an instructional method in which children are taught to connect sounds with letters or groups of letters. A sample of

141 first-graders who were learning English were asked to identify as many letter sounds as possible in a period of one minute. The average number of letter sounds identified was 34.09 with a standard deviation of 23.44
Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of letter sounds identified in one minute. Round the answers to at least two decimal places A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of letter sounds identified in one minute is:______

Answer:

A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of letter sounds identified in one minute is: (30.84, 37.34).

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.

That 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{23.44}{\sqrt{141}}

M = 3.25

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 34.09 - 3.25 = 30.84.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 34.09 + 3.25 = 37.34.

A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of letter sounds identified in one minute is: (30.84, 37.34).

Which of these problem types cannot be solved using the law of sines
timama [110]

Answer: The correct option are B, C and D.

Explanation:

The law of sine states that,

\frac{\sin A}{a} =\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c}

Where A, B, C are interior angles of the triangle and a, b, c are sides opposite sides of these angles respectively as shown in below figure. Only AAS or SSA types problems can be solved by using Law of sine.

Since we need the combination of two sides and one angle or two angles and one side.

In option A, the two consecutive angles are known and a side which makes the second angle with base side is known, therefore the first angle is opposite to the given side, so the law of sine can be used for AAS problems.

Therefore, option A is incorrect.

In option B a side is known and two inclined angle on that line are known. But to use Law of sine we want the line and angle which in not inclined on that line, therefore the ASA problem can not be solved by Law of sine and the option B is correct.

In option C two sides and their inclined angle is known. But to use Law of sine we want the side and angle which in not inclined on that line, therefore the SAS problem can not be solved by Law of sine and the option C is correct.

In  option D three sides are given but any angle is not given, therefore the SSS problem can not be solved by Law of sine and the option D is correct.

Lou has a solid clay brick in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a height of
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The weight of the brick is 60 ounce to the nearest ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the weigh of Lou’s brick given the dimensions of the shape of the brick and the weight of the clay.

To answer this question quite aptly, we need to know exactly the volume of the rectangular prism given the dimensions we have in the question.

To calculate this volume , we simply use the measurements we have to get it.

mathematically the volume of a rectangular prism is simply V = w * h * l

where w , h and l are width, height and length respectively.

now let’s calculate!

V = 3.5 * 2.25 * 8 = 63 inches^3

Now we need to know what the brick weigh in ounce. We already have the weight of the clay. now this is equal to the volume of the brick divided by the weight of the clay.

Mathematically this is = 63/1.055 = 59.72 ounce which is 60 ounce to the nearest ounce
