Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.24, 4.76).

The 92% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.27, 4.73).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviations 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 = 85 - 1 = 84

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 84 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 1.989.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.989\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{85}} = 0.26

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.5 - 0.26 = 4.24 days

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.5 + 0.26 = 4.76 days

The 95% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.24, 4.76).

92% confidence interval:

Following the sample logic, the critical value is 1.772. So

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.772\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{85}} = 0.23

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.5 - 0.23 = 4.27 days

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.5 + 0.23 = 4.73 days

The 92% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.27, 4.73).

If an increase in one variable causes a decrease in another​ variable, there is A. a negative relationship. B. a dependent relat
Lunna [17]

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given a situation that

If an increase in one variable causes a decrease in another​ variable,

Then, there is inverse relationship.

When one variable is increased whereas other variable falls.

There will be inverse relationship.

Since inverse relation has negative relation.

Then, there is a negative relationship.

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.

EFV and EDW are straight lines.<br>Find the value of x and of y.​
Makovka662 [10]

Answers:

x = 72

y = 83

============================================================

Explanation:

Angle VFG is 50 degrees. The angle adjacent to this is angle EFG which is 180-50 = 130 degrees.

Angle HDW is 77 degrees. The supplementary angle adjacent to this is 180-77 = 103 degrees which is angle EDH.

Pentagon EFGHD has the following five interior angles

  • E = x
  • F = 130
  • G = 170
  • H = 65
  • D = 103

Note that angles F = 130 and D = 103 were angles EFG and EDH we calculated earlier.

For any pentagon, the interior angles always add to 180(n-2) = 180(5-2) = 180*3 = 540 degrees.

This means,

E+F+G+H+D = 540

x+130+170+65+103 = 540

x+468 = 540

x = 72

---------------------------------------

Now focus your attention on triangle THS

We see that the interior angles are

  • T = y
  • H = 65
  • S = 32

The angle H is 65 degrees because it's paired with the other 65 degree angle shown. They are vertical angles.

For any triangle, the angles always add to 180

T+H+S = 180

y+65+32 = 180

y+97 = 180

y = 180-97

y = 83

The value of the land increases by 13.17% each year So it's growth function which is V (t)=15000 (1+r)^t Where r is the growth rate which is in decimal 13.17/100=0.1317 So it's D) V(t) = 15000(1.1317)t; growth
