Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on the children's birthday gift is between $45.77 and $48.23.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation 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 = 18 - 1 = 17

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.7396

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.7396\frac{3}{\sqrt{18}} = 1.23

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 47 - 1.23 = $45.77

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 47 + 1.23 = $48.23

The 90% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on the children's birthday gift is between $45.77 and $48.23.

Write the equation of the line through (3,-5) and perpendicular to -3x + 2y = 12 in slope-intercept form.
kap26 [50]

The equation of the line through (3,-5) and perpendicular to -3x + 2y = 12 in slope-intercept form is y =  -2/3x + 1

<h3>Equation of a line</h3>

The equation of a line is expressed as;

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the equation -3x + 2y = 12

2y = 3x + 12

y = 3/2x + 6

From the equation, the slope that is perpendicular to the slope is -2/3

<u>Determine the equation</u>

y-(-5) = -2/3(x-3)

y+5 = -2/3x + 6

y =  -2/3x + 6 - 5

y =  -2/3x + 1

Hence the equation of the line through (3,-5) and perpendicular to -3x + 2y = 12 in slope-intercept form is y =  -2/3x + 1
