Answer:

a) The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval when n = 14 is 18.93.

b) The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval when n=28 is 12.88.

c) The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval when n = 45 is 10.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

The t-distribution is used to solve this question:

a) n = 14

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 14 - 1 = 13

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 13 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.7709

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.7709\frac{40}{\sqrt{14}} = 18.93

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval when n = 14 is 18.93.

b) n = 28

27 df, T = 1.7033

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.7033\frac{40}{\sqrt{28}} = 12.88

The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval when n=28 is 12.88.

c) The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval when n = 45 is

44 df, T = 1.6802

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.6802\frac{40}{\sqrt{45}} = 10.02

The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval when n = 45 is 10.02.

If a number can be written or can be converted to p/q form, where p and q are integers and q is a non-zero number, then it is said to be rational and if it cannot be written in this form, then it is irrational.

The area of a rectangle is 54 m2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3 m more than twice the width. find the dimensions of the
Elina [12.6K]
L = 3 + 2w

Find the width
Area = 54
l × w = 54
(3 + 2w) × w = 54
3w + 2w^2 = 54
2w^2 + 3w - 54 = 0
(2w - 9)(w + 6) = 0
w = 9/2 or w = -6 (width shouldn't be negative)
w = 9/2
w = 4.5 m

Find the length
l = 3 + 2w
l = 3 + 2(4.5)
l = 3 + 9
l = 12 m

The width is 4.5 m, the length is 12 m

3. Given: Circle Q<br>&lt;A = 35<br>Find: m AB​
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:  110°

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

∠A ≅ ∠B  

since ∠A = 35° (given), then ∠B = 35°

Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to find ∠C:

∠A + ∠B + ∠Q = 180°

35° + 35° + ∠Q = 180°

     70°    + ∠Q = 180°

                 ∠Q = 110°

The central angle (∠AQB) ≅ arc AB

since ∠AQB = 110° (solved above), then arc AB = 110°

The number 2400 is first increased by 30%.The value obtained is next decreased by 20%.Find the final number
kvasek [131]

<em>2400 is increased by 30%.</em>

so,

2400 + (30/100 * 2400)

2400 + (30 * 24)

2400 + 720

3120

<em>this number is decreased by 20%.</em>

so,

3120 - (20/100 * 3120)

3120 - (2 * 312)

3120 - 624

2496

therefore, the final number will be 2496.
