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.

Answer:

Domain (Basically means the sets of values of x-axis).Hence, the set of values of domain is given by -3<domain<1. Meaning domain lies between values more than -3 and less than 1.

Range (Basically means the sets of values of y-axis). Hence, the set of values of range is given by -1<range<3. Meaning that range lies between values more than -1 and less than 3.

Function basically means the equation of the given circle. We know that equation of circle is given by;

(x-h)^2+ (y-k)^2 = r^2 [where (h, k) is the center of circle and r is the radius of circle]

From the figure,

(h, k)= (-1 ,1) and r= 2.

So, we can conclude that function is given by equation:

(x-(-1))^2 + (y-1)^2 =  2^2

(x+1)^2  +  (y-1)^2 = 4.

Answer:

\frac{300}{t} chairs at each table

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of chairs : 300

Total number of tables : t

If we divide 300 chairs equally among t tables, then each table must have 300 chairs ÷ t tables = \frac{300}{t} chairs at each table.

Jacob has 1/2 of a container of trail mix. He is filling snack packs that each use about 1/6 of a container. How many snack pack
kondaur [170]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob has 1/2 of a container of trail mix.

He is filling snack packs that each use about 1/6 of a container

We need to find the number of snack packs can Jacob make. Let he can make x snack packs.

\dfrac{1}{6}x=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\x=3

Hence, he can make 3 snack packs.

What is the sum of the infinite geometric series?
12345 [234]

Answer:

- 288

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric series is

a_{n} = ar^{n-1}

- 144 (\frac{1}{2}) ^{n-1} is in this form

with a = - 144 and r = \frac{1}{2}

S_{infinity} = \frac{a}{1-r} = \frac{-144}{1-\frac{1}{2} } = \frac{-144}{\frac{1}{2} } = - 288
