A psychiatrist is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the tics per hour exhibited by children with Tourette synd

rome. The data below show the tics in an observed hour for 13 randomly selected children with Tourette syndrome. The population standard deviation is σ=4.08.
Required:
a. To compute the confidence interval use a, z or t distribution?
b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of tics per hour that children with Tourette syndrome exhibit is between ______ and _______ .

Answer:

a) z-distribution is used, as we have the standard deviation for the population.

b) Between \overline{x} - 1.86 and \overline{x} + 1.86, in which \overline{x} is the sample mean of tics per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To compute the confidence interval use a, z or t distribution?

We have the standard deviation for the population, and thus, the z-distribution is used.

b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of tics per hour that children with Tourette syndrome exhibit is between ______ and _______ .

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645\frac{4.08}{\sqrt{13}} = 1.86

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is \overline{x} - 1.86

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is \overline{x} + 1.86

Between \overline{x} - 1.86 and \overline{x} + 1.86, in which \overline{x} is the sample mean of tics per hour.

Which of the following parametric equations are equivalent to the polar equation r=3 cos theta
Allushta [10]
To solve the problem you must know that to change from Cartesian to polar coordinates you must write:
 x = rcos (θ)
 Where "r" is the radius
 Likewise y = rsin (θ)
 Therefore, in the expression r = 3cos (θ) one can write r as:
 r = x / cos (θ)
 So:
 x / cos (θ) = 3cos (θ)
 x = 3cos ^ 2 (θ)
 The same for y ...
 y = rsin (θ)
 y = 3cos (θ) sin (θ).

  Finally the correct answer is option 2.
 x = 3cos ^ 2 (θ) y = 3cos (θ) sin (θ).

Parker Middle School's chior needs to raise $480 for an upcoming trip they will take. At their first fundraising project, they r
harkovskaia [24]

The money does the choir still need to raise is $180.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The money needed to be raised by the choir for an upcoming trip = $480.

It is given that, the money needed was raised in two fundraising projects.

<u>During the first fundraising project :</u>

The choir raised 25% of the money needed for the trip.

⇒ 25% of 480

⇒ (25/100) × 480

⇒ (1/4) × 480

⇒ 120

Therefore, the first fundraising project raised $120.

<u>During the second fundraising project :</u>

The choir raised 3/8 of the money needed for the trip.

⇒ 3/8 of 480

⇒ (3/8) × 480

⇒ 3 × 60

⇒ 180

Therefore, the second fundraising project raised $180.

<u>To find the money does the choir still need to raise :</u>

You need to find the remaining amount from the 480 after raising money from the two fund raising projects.

For that, find out how much you raised from those fund raising projects and subtract it from the 480.

Money needed = Total money required for the trip - Raised money

⇒ 480 - (120+180)  

⇒ 480 - 300

⇒ 180 dollars.

The money does the choir still need to raise is $180.

What is the value of x?
blsea [12.9K]
Since these are supplementary angles  (two angles which sum to 180°) we can say:

4x+x=180  combine like terms on left side

5x=180  divide both sides by 5

x=36°

Angle Measurements
Naddik [55]

Answer:

X = 11

Complementary angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are when two angles add up to 90 degrees.

3x + 10 + 47 = 90

3x + 10 = 43

3x = 33

x = 11
