Answer:

a)

CI = ( 1.2718, 8.0614 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

b)

CI = ( -2.2296, 3.0296 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

c)

CI = ( 0.2962, 4.4538 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Variance σ² = 9

so standard deviation σ = √9 = 3

with 95% confidence interval in each case. thus, The Z value for 95% confidence is Z = 1.96

Null Hypotheses  H₀ : μ = 2

Now

a)  (8,1,5)

sample mean x" = (8+1+5)  / 3 = 14/3 = 4.6666

n = 3

Confidence Interval CI = x" ± ( z × σ/√n )

CI = 4.6666 ± ( 1.96 × 3/√3 )

CI = 4.6666 ± 3.3948

so CI = ( 1.2718, 8.0614 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

b)  (8,1,5,-4,-8)  

sample mean X" =  (8 +1 + 5 - 4 - 8)  / 5 = 2 / 5 = 0.4

n = 5  

Confidence Interval CI = x" ± ( z × σ/√n )

CI = 0.4 ± ( 1.96 × 3/√5 )

CI = 0.4 ± 2.6296

so CI = ( -2.2296, 3.0296 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

c)  (8,1,5,-4,-8,4,8,5)

sample mean x" = (8 + 1 + 5 - 4 - 8 + 4 + 8 + 5)   / 8 = 19 / 8 = 2.375

n = 8

Confidence Interval CI = x" ± ( z × σ/√n )

CI = 2.375 ± ( 1.96 × 3/√8 )

CI = 2.375 ± 2.0788

so CI = ( 0.2962, 4.4538 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the linear function represented by the table? x y –6 –18 –1 –8 4 2 9 12 y = nega
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

y = 2 x minus 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6,-18) and (-1,-8)

Slope: (-8 - -18)/(-1 - -6)

10/5

2

y = 2x + c

-8 = 2(-1) + c

-8 = -2 + c

c = -6

y = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 4

Find the area created by the overlapping circles given the following information.
lara31 [8.8K]

The area of a circular sector of central angle α (in radians) in a circle of radius r is given by

... A = (1/2)r²×(α - sin(α))


Your area is expected to be computed as the sum of the areas of a sector with angle π/3 in a circle of radius 8 and a sector with angle π/2 in a circle of radius 6.


... A = (1/2)8²×(π/3 - sin(π/3)) + (1/2)6²×(π/2 - sin(π/2))

... A ≈ 16.07


Radii are in inches so the units of area will be in². The appropriate choice is

... 16.10 in²


_____

It should be noted that the geometry described is impossible. Chord CD of circle A will have length 6√2 ≈ 8.4853 inches. Chord CD of circle B will have length 8 inches. They cannot both be the same chord.
