Answer:
D. about 8.5 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
To go from Aesha to Josh, you go 6 units right and 6 units up.
Each unit is a mile, so you go 6 miles right and 6 miles up.
Think of each 6 mile distance as a leg of a right triangle, and the direct distance from one place to the other as the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The 6-mile legs are a and b. c is the hypotenuse.
(6 mi)^2 + (6 mi)^2 = c^2
c^2 = 36 mi^2 + 36 mi^2
c^2 = 72 mi^2
c = sqrt(72) mi
c = sqrt(36 * 2) mi
c = 6sqrt(2) mi
c = 6(1.4142) mi
c = 8.5 mi
You should use a T distribution to find the critical T value based on the level of confidence. The confidence level is often given to you directly. If not, then look for the significance level alpha and compute C = 1-alpha to get the confidence level. For instance, alpha = 0.05 means C = 1-0.05 = 0.95 = 95% confidence
Use either a table or a calculator to find the critical T value. When you find the critical value, assign it to the variable t.
Next, you'll compute the differences of each pair of values. Form a new column to keep everything organized. Sum everything in this new column to get the sum of the differences, which then you'll divide that by the sample size n to get the mean of the differences. Call this dbar (combination of d and xbar)
After that, you'll need the standard deviation of the differences. I recommend using a calculator to quickly find this. A spreadsheet program is also handy as well. Let sd be the standard deviation of the differences
The confidence interval is in the form (L, U)
L = lower bound
L = dbar - t*sd/sqrt(n)
U = upper bound
U = dbar + t*sd/sqrt(n)
