Answer:

(27.3692 ; 44.6308)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean, xbar = 36

Standard deviation, s = 11

Sample size, n = 12

Tcritical at 0.2, df = 12 - 1 = 11 ; Tcritical = 2.718

Confidence interval :

Xbar ± Margin of error

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Margin of Error = 2.718 * 11/sqrt(12) = 8.6308

Confidence interval :

Lower boundary : 36 - 8.6308 = 27.3692

Upper boundary : 36 + 8.6308 = 44.6308

(27.3692 ; 44.6308)

Answer:

0.09 average effect

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the t statistics = 1.54

Sample size (n) = 25

Therefore, variance = t²/n

Variance = 1.54²/25

Variance = 2.372/25

Variance = 0.09

the circular ripple caused by dropping a stone in a pond is increasing in area at a constant rate of 20 square meters per second
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

  2/π ≈ 0.637 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of area with respect to time is ...

  A = πr²

  dA/dt = 2πr·dr/dt

Filling in given values in the above equations, we can find r and dr/dt.

  25π = πr²   ⇒   r = 5

  20 = 2π·5·dr/dt

  dr/dt = 20/(10π) = 2/π . . . . meters per second

The radius is increasing at the rate of 2/π ≈ 0.637 meters per second.
