Answer: 25 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's take a look at the person. If they are 5 feet tall and cast a shadow of 3 feet, we can easily convert this into a proportion: 5 feet tall: 3 feet shadow.

Continuing with this method, we can convert the tree into a proportion: x feet tall: 15 feet shadow.

So, 5:3=x:15. Mathematically, think of it as 5/3=x/15.

To find x, you will need to multiply 15 to both sides, or perform cross multiplication. (5/3)(15)=(x/15)(15). This will equal 25. The tree is 25 feet tall.

Answer:

$39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608$

$39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=39$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=1$ represent the population standard deviation

n=25 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The margin of error is given by:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing we got:

$ME= 1.96 *\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}= 0.392$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608$

$39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)

What is the graph of 7x+y=-7 ?

max2010maxim [7]

To make it easier to graph this equation, you can manipulate it to get it in slope-intercept form. You'd do that like so:
7x + y = -7
y = -7x - 7
Now I can graph a bit more easily as I can more readily make out the slope and the y-intercept...
