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

In a picture, there are 40 monkeys, and 60% of the monkeys are in the trees.
Zepler [3.9K]

The number of monkeys in the tree are 24.

<h3>What are percentages?</h3>

Percentage is the fraction of an amount expressed as a number out of hundred. The sign used to represent percentages is %.

<h3>How many monkey are in the tree?</h3>

Number of monkeys in the tree = percent x total number of monkeys

60% x 40

0.6 x 40 = 24

Identify the ordered pair on the graph of the equation 2x + 5y = 4.
Colt1911 [192]
What you would do is you would substitute each ordered pair into their respective variables. (ie. for (0,1) you would put 0 where the x is and 1 where the y is) You would then solve the equation. If the equation is not even (ie. 2=5 would not be even but 4=4 would be), you move on to the next ordered pair.

If you follow the process right and you get the equations correct, the answer should be B. (7,-2)

Find the inverse of y=100-x^2
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The inverse  is ±sqrt(100-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 100 -y^2

Solve for y

Subtract 100 from each side

x - 100 = -y^2

Divide by -1

-x +100 = y^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(100-x) = sqrt(y^2)

±sqrt(100-x) =y

The inverse  is ±sqrt(100-x)
