The Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (ARSMA) is a psychological testdeveloped to measure the degree of Mexican/S

panish versus Anglo/Englishacculturation of Mexican Americans. The distribution of ARSMA scores in a populationused to develop the test was approximately normal, with mean 3.0 and standarddeviation 0.8. A further study gave ARSMA to 50 first-generation Mexican Americans.The mean of their scores is x bar = 2.36. If the standard deviation for the first-generationpopulation is also 0.8.

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the mean ARSMA score for first-generation Mexican Americans

(2.13264 , 2.58736)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i)</em></u>:-

Mean of the Population = 3.0

Standard deviation of the Population = 0.8

Given Mean of the sample(x⁻ ) = 2.36

Standard deviation of the sample  (S) = 0.8

size of the sample = 50

Level of significance =0.05

Degrees of freedom = n-1 = 50-1 = 49

t_{\frac{0.05}{2} , 49} = 2.0096

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u>:-

95% confidence interval for the mean ARSMA score for first-generation Mexican Americans

(x^{-} - t_{(\frac{\alpha }{2},df )} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } , (x^{-} +t_{(\frac{\alpha }{2},df )} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} })

(2.36 - 2.0096 \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{50} } , 2.36 +2.0096\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{50} })

( 2.36 - 0.22736 , 2.36 + 0.22736)

(2.13264 , 2.58736)

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

95% confidence interval for the mean ARSMA score for first-generation Mexican Americans

(2.13264 , 2.58736)

A homemade loaf of bread turns out to be a perfect cube. Five slices of bread, each 0.6 inch thick, are cut from one end of the
erastovalidia [21]

A cube has all sides of equal length.

So let the side be x

that will be length = width = height = x  

Now, when we cut the loaf into 5 equal slices, the length and height of the slices are the same as the original loaf.  But the width will become less with each slicing. Here the width corresponds to the thickness of the slices.

For each slice the dimensions are -

Length = x

height = x

width = 0.6

Volume of the original loaf is x³.

Volume of  5 slices is 5(x * x * 0.6).  

Volume that is left after the cutting the slices is 235 inch³.

So, equation of the volume is=

x³ - 5(0.6x²) = 235

Solve for x using this equation.

x³ - 3x² = 235

x³ - 3x² - 235 = 0

Using a graph calculator to find the roots, we get

x = 7.35

Hence the dimensions of the original loaf is 7.35 inches for each side.

Please find attached the graph.

When there is a negative in front of the exponent it makes a fraction. It is usually just 1/the number it equals if it were positive.

Simon's dog jumped into a stream at a 68° angle from the corner of a bridge. simon crossed the bridge and walked downstream to m
artcher [175]

The length of the bridge is 12.12 feet.

The length the dog swam is 32.36 feet.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>What is a right angle triangle?</h3>

A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. Therefore, the sides and angle can be found using trigonometric ratios.

The length of the bridge is the opposite side of the triangle and the length the dog swim is the hypotenuse side of the triangle.

Therefore,

Let's find the length of the bridge as follows:

tan 68° = opposite / adjacent

tan 68° = 30 / l

cross multiply

l = 30 / tan 68

l = 12.1212121212

length of the bridge = 12.12 ft

The length the dog swim is as follows:

sin 68°= opposite / hypotenuse

sin 68° = 30 / h

h = 30 / sin 68

h = 32.3561767942

The distance the dog swimmed = 32.36 ft
