In a sample of 8 high school students, they spent an average of 28.8 hours each week doing sports with a sample standard deviati

on of 3.2 hours. Find the 95% confidence interval, assuming the times are normally distributed.

Answer:

26.12\:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the population standard deviation \sigma is unknown, and the sample standard deviation s, must replace it, the t distribution  must be used for the confidence interval.

The sample size is n=8.

The degree of freedom is df=n-1, \implies df=8-1=7.

With 95% confidence level, the \alpha-level(significance level) is 5%.

Hence with 7 degrees of freedom, t_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }=2.365. (Read from the t-distribution table see attachment)

The 95% confidence interval can be found by using the formula:

\bar X-t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )\:.

The sample mean is \bar X=28.8 hours.

The sample sample standard deviation is s=3.2 hours.

We now substitute all these values into the formula to obtain:

28.8-2.365(\frac{3.2}{\sqrt{8} } )\:.

26.12\:

We are 95% confident that the population mean is between 26.12 and 31.48  hours.

If f(x)=x+1 and then x became 2, you would have the function f(x)=3. So basically for that function you would be going up three over 1. That function is already g(x)=4x. If X became 2, you would have g(x)=8x. The rate of up 8 and then over one. Because of that, g(x) would be higher

barxatty [35]

Answer:

108 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (0.5, 135) and (2,81)

Diatnce between two points :

D = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

X1 = 0.5 ; y1 = 135 ; x2 = 2 ; y2 = 81

D = √(2^2 - 0.5^2) + (81^2 - 135^2)

D = √(4 - 0.25) + (6561 - 18225)

D = √3.75 −11664

D = 107.98263

D = 108 miles

226,710 - 724,435 =<br> How to work this out without calculator
Anit [1.1K]
Okay so this is going to be confusing but work from right to left. since you can’t do 0-5, borrow from the one next to the zero on the top, cross out the one and put zero and add a one on top of the zero which makes it 10. now you can do 10-5 to get 5. put the five down below the line. next solve the second column of numbers ( second to the right). since you cannot do 0- 3, like the last one, you have to borrow from the 7 over to the left. take one from there and cross the seven out and put a six. now you have 10-3 which is 7. put the 7 down. now do move to the next column and do 6-2 to get 4. put the four down below the line. move to the next column and do 2-2 to get 0. put the zero down below the line. lastly, we know the answer has to be negative so we are going to do 2-7 to get -5. put -5 down below the line and together to get the answer -502,275. i know that was very confusing but i hope it helped a little bit. i added a picture to clarify a little
