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).

Write 9− 16x⁴ as the product of two factors.
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The two factors will be =(3+4x^2)\ and\ (3-4x^2)        

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the equation 9-16x^4

We know the algebraic equation a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

As  9-16x^4 can be written as 3^2-(4x^2)^2, as square of 3 is 9 and square of 4x^2 is 16x^4

So 9-16x^4=3^2-(4x^2)^=(3+4x^2)(3-4x^2)

So the two factors will be =(3+4x^2)\ and\ (3-4x^2)

Which values of P and Q result in an equation with no solutions?
Ad libitum [116K]

Try this solution/explanation:

<u>way 1</u>:

rule: for an equation where no roots P+Q=0. It means, Px-Qx=0, ⇔ x(P-Q)=0, ⇔ P=Q.

for answer 'D' P=Q=15.

<u>way 2</u>:

rule: if an equation of the line has a form y=kx+b, then y₁||y₂ if k₁=k₂. It means, for y₁=Px-45 || y₂=Qx+75, then P=Q. P=Q, if 'D' answer.

Answer: D
