A forestry researcher wants to estimate the average height of trees in a forest near Atlanta, Georgia. She takes a random sample

of 18 trees from this forest. The researcher found that the average height was 4.8 meters with a standard deviation of 0.55 meters. Assume that the distribution of the heights of these trees is normal. For this sample what is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval

Answer:

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.8982

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 0.55 meters.

This means that s = 0.55

What is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval?

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 2.8982\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{18}}

M = 0.3757

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Solve the following equation for x: 6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

\boxed {x = -\frac{1}{7}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of x:

6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3

-Use <u>Distributive Property</u>:

6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3

24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3

-Combine like terms:

24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3

24x + 30 = 3x + 27

-Take 3x and subtract it from 24x:

24x + 30 -3x = 3x - 3x + 27

21x + 30 = 27

-Subtract both sides by 30:

21x + 30 - 30 = 27 - 30

21x = -3

-Divide both sides by 21:

\frac{21x}{21} = \frac{-3}{21}

x = \frac{-3}{21}

-Reduce the fraction to the lowest term by extracting and canceling out 3:

x = \frac{-3\div3}{21 \div 3}

\boxed {x = -\frac{1}{7}}

Therefore, the value of x is -\frac{1}{7}.

42,591 to the nearest thousand
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

43,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, the tipping point is 50%.

42,591, if the hundreds to one's place is 500 or more, the number 591, it increases the thousands value by 1

Since 591 is greater than 591, the new number will increase from 42,591 to 43,000
