Darina [25.2K]

Answer: (17.42, 20.78)

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 9

$\overline{x}=19.1$ years

Population standard deviation is not given , so it follows t-distribution.

Sample standard deviation : s= 1.5 years

Confidence level : 99% or 0.99

Significance level : $\alpha= 1-0.99=0.01$

Degree of freedom : df= 8 (∵df =n-1)

Critical value : $t_c=t_{(\alpha/2,\ df)}=t_{0.005,\ 8}= 3.355$

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean would be :-

$\overline{x}\pm t_c\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$19.1\pm (3.355)\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{ 9}}\\\\=19.1\pm1.6775\\\\=(19.1-1.6775,\ 19.1+1.6775)\\\\=(17.4225,\ 20.7775)\approx(17.42,\ 20.78)$

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (17.42, 20.78) .

Holly is taking out a loan in the amount of $10,000. Her choices for the loan are a 4-year loan at 4% simple interest and a 6-ye

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The difference in the amount of interest she would have to pay for the two loans is $1,400

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of loan Holly is taking out, P = $10,000

The choices available for the loan are;

1) Loan duration, T₁ = 4-year

Interest rate, R₁ = 4%

2) Loan duration, T₂ = 6-year

Interest rate, R₂ = 5%

For the first choice, we have;

The simple interest, I, given by the formula;

$I_1 = \dfrac{P \times R_1 \times T_1 }{100} = \dfrac{10,000 \times 4 \times 4 }{100} = \$ 1,600$

For the second choice, we have;

The simple interest, I, given by the formula;

$I_2 = \dfrac{P \times R_2 \times T_2 }{100} = \dfrac{10,000 \times 5 \times 6 }{100} = \$ 3,000$

The difference, D, in the amount of interest she would have to pay for the two loans is therefore;

D = I₂ - I₁ = $3,000 - $1,600 = $1,400

The difference in the amount of interest she would have to pay for the two loans = D = $1,400.

During summer, when the snow melts, the water level of the Yukon River increases. If the water level of the river increased by 7

kondaur [170]

Answer:

13 centimeters per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that during summer, the water level of the river increased by 78 centimeters in 6 days. We are asked to find the water level increase rate in centimeters per day.

To find the water level increase rate per day, we will divide total increase by total days as:

$\text{Water level increase rate per day}=\frac{78\text{ cm}}{6\text{ days}}$

$\text{Water level increase rate per day}=\frac{13\text{ cm}}{\text{ day}}$

Therefore, the water level increase rate is 13 centimeters per day.

YOU DONT HAVE TO DO ALL IF YOU DONT WANT TO JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN

Vikki [24]

Answer:

(Warning) Not sure this is completley correct but this is just what I did.

Part A

Does the data for Amit’s puppy show a function? Why or why not?

It does show a function because it passes the vertical line test (no two points have the same x value).

Part B

Is the relationship for Amit’s puppy’s weight in terms of time linear or nonlinear? Explain your response.

Nonlinear because the line isn’t straight

Part C

Is the relationship between Amit’s puppy’s weight in terms of time increasing or decreasing? Explain your response.

Increasing because it is gaining weight

Part D

Does the data for Camille’s puppy show a function? Why or why not?

Yes, it does, because each input value has a unique output value

Part E

Is the relationship for Camille’s puppy’s weight in terms of time linear or nonlinear? Explain your response.

It is a linear function because the line has no curve, and the line is constant.

Part F

Is the relationship between Camille’s puppy’s weight in terms of time increasing or decreasing? Explain your response.

Increasing because as the puppy gets older it gains weight.

Part G

Does the data for Olivia’s puppy show a function? Why or why not?

Yes, it does, because each input value has a unique output value. The graph attached ( which shows the data for Camille’s puppy), that each x-value (Weeks) has a unique y-value (Weight in pounds).

Therefore, based on this and keeping in mind the explanation before, you can conclude that the data for Camille’s puppy shows a function.

Part H

Is the relationship for Olivia’s puppy’s weight in terms of time linear or nonlinear? Explain your response

Yes, it linear because it’s a straight line.

Part I

Is the relationship for Olivia’s puppy’s weight in terms of time increasing or decreasing? Explain your response. Increasing. For every week that goes by, Olivia's puppy is gaining one pound. 6-5= 1 14-13= 1. Gaining a pound every week makes the puppy’s weight increase.

Part J

Which two relationships have a y-intercept and a constant rate of change?

They all have y-intercepts and only Olivia and camilles have a constant rate of change.

Part A

To compare the linear functions, you first need to find their equations. For each of the linear functions, write an equation to represent the puppy’s weight in terms of the number of weeks since the person got the puppy.

Linear equation, y=mx+b

Exponential equation, y=a(b)×

Part B

Now you can compare the functions. In each equation, what do the slope and y-intercept represent in terms of the situation?

The y-intercept in the situation is 2/6.

Part C

Whose puppy weighed the most when the person got it? How much did it weigh?

Olivia’s puppy, it weighed 5 pounds

Part D

Whose puppy gained weight the slowest? How much did it gain per week?

Olivia’s puppy gained weight the slowest because it started off with more weight but only gained around 1 pound every week.

Part E

You can also graph the functions to compare them. Using the Edmentum Graphing Tool, graph the two linear functions. Paste a screenshot of the two functions in the space provided. How could you find which puppy had a greater initial weight from the graph? How could you find which puppy gained weight the slowest?

The edmentum graphing tool is opening up I tried it more than once but, the linear graphs would be Camille puppy and olivia's. And I could tell which one had a greater weight by how much they had at week 1 and how much they gained the weeks later. I could find which puppy gained weight the slowest by looking at the weight gained and graphed.
