Answer:

\bar x = 260.1615

\sigma = 70.69

The confidence interval of standard deviation is: 53.76 to 103.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n =20

See attachment for the formatted data

Solving (a): The mean

This is calculated as:

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}

So, we have:

\bar x = \frac{242.87 +212.00 +260.93 +284.08 +194.19 +139.16 +260.76 +436.72 +355.36 +.....+250.61}{20}

\bar x = \frac{5203.23}{20}

\bar x = 260.1615

\bar x = 260.16

Solving (b): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n-1}}

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{(242.87 - 260.1615)^2 +(212.00- 260.1615)^2+(260.93- 260.1615)^2+(284.08- 260.1615)^2+.....+(250.61- 260.1615)^2}{20 - 1}}\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{94938.80}{19}}

\sigma = \sqrt{4996.78}

\sigma = 70.69 --- approximated

Solving (c): 95% confidence interval of standard deviation

We have:

c =0.95

So:

\alpha = 1 -c

\alpha = 1 -0.95

\alpha = 0.05

Calculate the degree of freedom (df)

df = n -1

df = 20 -1

df = 19

Determine the critical value at row df = 19 and columns \frac{\alpha}{2} and 1 -\frac{\alpha}{2}

So, we have:

X^2_{0.025} = 32.852 ---- at \frac{\alpha}{2}

X^2_{0.975} = 8.907 --- at 1 -\frac{\alpha}{2}

So, the confidence interval of the standard deviation is:

\sigma * \sqrt{\frac{n - 1}{X^2_{\alpha/2} } to \sigma * \sqrt{\frac{n - 1}{X^2_{1 -\alpha/2} }

70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{20 - 1}{32.852} to 70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{20 - 1}{8.907}

70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{19}{32.852} to 70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{19}{8.907}

53.76 to 103.25

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=3x+2 and passing through the point (3, -4)
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

<h2>D: y= -(1/3)x -3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(3, -4)=(x,y)\\y=3x+2\\\\m_1 =3\\In\: perpendicular\: line ;\\\\m_2 = \frac{-1}{m_1} \\m_2 = \frac{-1}{3} \\m_2 = -1/3\\\\Substitute \:new\:values\:into\: ;y=mx+b\\\\-4 = -\frac{1}{3} (3) + b\\-4 = -1 +b\\-4+1 =b\\-3 =b\\Substitute \:new\:values\:into\: ;y=mx+b\\y =-\frac{1}{3}x -3
