Do you guys know the answer to this problem?

The percentage of body fat of a random sample of 36 men aged 20 to 29 found a sample mean of 14.42. Find a 95% confidence interv

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

$14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150$

$14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=14.42$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=6.95$ represent the population standard deviation

n=36 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150$

$14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

Value of the pronumeral and describe the rule.<br>4,1,-2,p,-8,-11

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

p = -5

every element in the sequence is created by subtracting 3 from the pervious element.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure you put every necessary information here.

but I'd the visible information is truly everything, then it's is trivial.

the difference between 4 and 1 is ... well, -3. meaning we subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.

we suspect this is the rule and keep trying.

1 -3 = -2

hey it works.

and -8 -3 = -11

hey, also correct.

and the difference between -2 and -8 is -6, and when we place another item in between (p), we cut that in half again to -3. so, it is all consistent.

therefore,

p = -2 -3 = -5

the rule is

an = an-1 - 3

Answer:

x represents +50 for every hour. the inequality is y = 4x + 500 or y = x + 500.

they can ride it for 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

y(total cost) = x(50 per hour) + 500(y-intercept)
