Suppose a random sample of 50 college students are asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 95% confide

nce interval for the mean foot length for students at the college is found to be 21.709 to 25.091 cm. If a 99% confidence interval were calculated instead, how would it differ from the 95% confidence interval

Answer:

A  99% confidence interval  will be wider than a 95% confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  95% confidence interval for for the mean foot length for students at the college is found to be 21.709 to 25.091 cm

Generally the width of a confidence interval is dependent on the margin of error.

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }

From the above equation we see that

          E \ \  \alpha \ \   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }

Here  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  is the critical value of the half of the level of significance and this value  increase as the confidence level increase

Now if a  99% confidence level is  used , it then means that the value of  

 Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  will increase, this in turn will increase  the margin of error and in turn this will increase the width of the confidence interval

Hence a 99% confidence interval  will be wider than a 95% confidence interval

Which method is best using this equation 4x-2y=-2,-5x+6y=-15 and why
kipiarov [429]
I think that using the elimination method is the best, because it is the only method that I use when solving these types of equation. For example, for these two equations, you need to multiply one of the equations by a certain number so that you'd be able to find x and y. The elimination method is the method that tells you to do that. It is also the easiest method.

What is the volume in cubic centimeters of a right circular cone with radius 2 centimeters and height 9 centimeters?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

V = 37.7cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h

Given:

- Radius = 2cm

- Height = 9cm

Let's plug these into the equation:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (2)^2(9)

Now solve:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (4)(9)\\V = \frac{1}{3}\pi 36\\V = \frac{36}{3}  \pi \\V = 12\pi \\V = 37.7cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 37.7cm^3.
