Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, µ. Assume the population has a normal distribution. A sample of 25
bixtya [17]

Answer:C. (77.29, 85.71)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean test score of randomly selected students.

Number of sample, n = 25

Mean, u = 81.5

Standard deviation, s = 10.2

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

81.5 +/- 1.96 × 10.2/√25

= 81.5 +/- 1.96 × 2.04

= 81.5 +/- 3.9984

The lower end of the confidence interval is 81.5 - 3.9984 =77.5016

The upper end of the confidence interval is 81.5 + 3.9984 =85.4984

Therefore, the correct option is

C. (77.29, 85.71)

What the answer y-8=-2 (x-7)
Kamila [148]
The answer is:
 Solve for y in the first equation
y=−5<span>
y=8−<span>x
</span></span>
<span>Replace all occurrences of y with the solution found by solving the last equation for y. In this case, the value substituted is <span>−5</span></span><span>y=−5</span><span><span>(−5)</span>=8−<span>x
</span></span>
Remove parentheses.<span>y=−5</span><span>−5=8−<span>x
</span></span>
Solve for x in the second equation.<span>y=−5</span>
<span>x=13</span>

There are 12 boys and 10 girls in your gym class. If 6 boys joined the class, how many girls would need to join for the ratio of
Shkiper50 [21]
Number of boys in the gym class = 12
Number of girls in the gym class = 10
then
Ratio of boys to ratio of girls = 12:10
                                               = 6:5
Now
Number of boys joining the gym class later = 6
So after the new boys join the number of boys in the gym class becomes = 18
The ratio of boys to girls have to remain the same
Let us assume that the number of girls that need to join the gym class = x
Then
6/5 = 18/(x + 10)
6(x + 10) = 18 * 5
6x + 60 = 90
6x = 90 - 60
6x = 30
x = 30/6
   = 5
So the number of girls that need to join the gym class to keep the ratio same is 5. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Listed below are foot lengths in inches for 11 randomly selected people taken in 1988. Find the range, variance, and standard de
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Range= Max-Min= 10.2-8.7=1.5 inches

s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And if we replace we got s = 0.50 inches

s^2 = 0.503^2 = 0.25 in^2

D. The statistics are representative because they are taken from a random sample

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

9.9 8.7 10.1 9.2 9.2 9.9 10.1 9.4 9.1 9.3 10.2

The data was colledted from a random sample of people selected in 1988.

We can order the dataset on increasing way and we got:

8.7  9.1  9.2  9.2  9.3  9.4  9.9  9.9 10.1 10.1  10.2

The range is defined as Range= Max-Min= 10.2-8.7=1.5 inches

The mean is defined as:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}= 9.555 inches

The standard deviation can be calculated with the following formula:

s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And if we replace we got s = 0.50 inches

The sample variance would be just the deviation squared:

s^2 = 0.503^2 = 0.25 in^2

And since the data comes from a random sample then is representative fo the population data in 1988. So then the best answer for this case would be:

D. The statistics are representative because they are taken from a random sample
