On day two of a study on body temperatures, 106 temperatures were taken. Suppose that we only have the first 10 temperatures to

work with. The mean and standard deviation of these 10 scores were 98.44o F and 0.30o F, respectively. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean of all body temperatures.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval = (98.225, 98.655)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval =

Mean ± z × standard deviation/√n

Where Mean = 98.44°F

Standard deviation = 0.30°F

n = number of samples is 10

Because our number if samples is small, we use the t score confidence interval formula

Mean ± t × standard deviation/√n

Degrees of Freedom = n - 1

= 10 - 1 = 9

We find the t score of 95% confidence interval and degrees of freedom 9

= 2.262

Hence,

Confidence interval = 98.44 ± 2.262 × 0.30/√10

= 98.44 ± 0.214592162

Confidence Interval

98.44 - 0.214592162

= 98.225407838

≈ 98.225

98.44 + 0.214592162

= 98.654592162

≈ 98.655

The 95% confidence interval = (98.225, 98.655)

Find m∠DEC (the picture is not drawn to scale).
pochemuha

Answer:

M∠DEC equals 123º.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a triangle's three angles always equal 180º. The exterior angle, x, equals the two non-adjacent interior angles.

180 - {(x - 45)+(x - 12)} = m∠DEC

m∠DEC + x = 180

<u>(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x</u>

Solving for x:

(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x

x - 45 + x - 12 = x                             Remove parenthesis

2x - 57 = x                                       Combine like terms

2x = x + 57                                      Add 57 to both sides

<u>x = 57</u><u>                                             Subtract x from both sides</u>

Finding m∠D:

x - 45 = ?

<u>57 - 45 = </u><u>12º                                          </u>

Finding m∠C:

x - 12 = ?

<u>57 - 12 = </u><u>45º                                           </u>

<em>** </em><em>(Checking x: 12 + 45 = 57) </em><em>**</em>

<em>Finding </em>m∠DEC:

AC is a straight line, and because straight lines are equivalent to 180º, we subtract 57 from 180:

180 - 57 = 123º

Hope this helps,

if the equation x^2 +(k+2)x+2k=0 has equal roots,then the value of k is .....a.2 b.-2 c 1/2 d.none ​
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

k=2

Problem:

if the equation x^2 +(k+2)x+2k=0 has equal roots,then the value of k is ..

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coefficient of x^2 is 1, we can use this identity to aid us: x^2+bx+(b/2)^2=(x+b/2)^2.

So we want the following:

[(k+2)/2]^2=2k

Apply the power on the left:

(k+2)^2/4=2k

Multiply both sides by 4:

(k+2)^2=8k

Expand left side:

k^2+4k+4=8k *I used identity (x+c)^2=x^2+2xc+c^2

Subtract 8k on both sides:

k^2-4k+4=0

Factor using the identity mentioned a couple lines above:

(k-2)^2=0

Since zero squared is zero, we want k-2=0.

Adding both sides by 2 gives k=2.

49 ÷ 43 = sorry guys about the bad question its actually 4 to the 9th power divided by 4 to the third power
zalisa [80]
First of all, if you look at the question, you will notice that the two numbers involved are the same (that is; 4 and 4). However, there are two ways to solve this. But the easiest way is by using indices. In indices, whenever you are multiplying two numbers that are the same, the powers are added. And whenever you are dividing two numbers that are the same, the powers are subtracted. This is due to the fact that in indices, addition is related to multiplication and subtraction is related to division. An example is;
A⁵ × A³ = A⁽⁵⁺³⁾ =A⁸
A⁵ ÷ A³ = A⁽⁵⁻³⁾ =A²
  Anyway, over to the question now;
4⁹÷4³
4⁽⁹⁻³⁾
4⁽⁶⁾
  Therefore; 4×4×4×4×4×4=4096
So the answer is 4096. However, if you calculate 4⁹÷4³ on a calculator, you will still get 4096. Hope i helped. Have a nice day
