Answer:

95% confidence interval: (2.784,3.176)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Sample size, n = 25

Sample mean = $2.98

Standard error = $0.10

Alpha = 0.05

95% confidence interval:

$\mu \pm z_{critical}(\text{Standard error})$

Putting the values, we get,

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

$2.98 \pm 1.96(0.10) = 2.98 \pm 0.196 = (2.784,3.176)$

What is a solution for 11/12

elena-s [515]

Answer:

It is either 11/12 or 0.91666666667.....

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this can not be actually divided into a "number" like 2 or 5, we can only get a approximate. Like the top answer.

Round to the nearest ten is 0.9

Round it to nearest hundredths is 0.92

What is the equation for the plane illustrated below?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Hence, none of the options presented are valid. The plane is represented by $3 \cdot x + 3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation in rectangular form for a 3-dimension plane is represented by:

$a\cdot x + b\cdot y + c\cdot z = d$

Where:

$x$ , $y$ , $z$ - Orthogonal inputs.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ , $d$ - Plane constants.

The plane presented in the figure contains the following three points: (2, 0, 0), (0, 2, 0), (0, 0, 3)

For the determination of the resultant equation, three equations of line in three distinct planes orthogonal to each other. That is, expressions for the xy, yz and xz-planes with the resource of the general equation of the line:

xy-plane (2, 0, 0) and (0, 2, 0)

$y = m\cdot x + b$

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Where:

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$x_{1}$ , $x_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.

$y_{1}$ , $y_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.

$b$ - x-Intercept, dimensionless.

If $x_{1} = 2$ , $y_{1} = 0$ , $x_{2} = 0$ and $y_{2} = 2$ , then:

Slope

$m = \frac{2-0}{0-2}$

$m = -1$

x-Intercept

$b = y_{1} - m\cdot x_{1}$

$b = 0 -(-1)\cdot (2)$

$b = 2$

The equation of the line in the xy-plane is $y = -x+2$ or $x + y = 2$ , which is equivalent to $3\cdot x + 3\cdot y = 6$ .

yz-plane (0, 2, 0) and (0, 0, 3)

$z = m\cdot y + b$

$m = \frac{z_{2}-z_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}$

Where:

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$y_{1}$ , $y_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.

$z_{1}$ , $z_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.

$b$ - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If $y_{1} = 2$ , $z_{1} = 0$ , $y_{2} = 0$ and $z_{2} = 3$ , then:

Slope

$m = \frac{3-0}{0-2}$

$m = -\frac{3}{2}$

y-Intercept

$b = z_{1} - m\cdot y_{1}$

$b = 0 -\left(-\frac{3}{2} \right)\cdot (2)$

$b = 3$

The equation of the line in the yz-plane is $z = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot y+3$ or $3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6$ .

xz-plane (2, 0, 0) and (0, 0, 3)

$z = m\cdot x + b$

$m = \frac{z_{2}-z_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Where:

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$x_{1}$ , $x_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.

$z_{1}$ , $z_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.

$b$ - z-Intercept, dimensionless.

If $x_{1} = 2$ , $z_{1} = 0$ , $x_{2} = 0$ and $z_{2} = 3$ , then:

Slope

$m = \frac{3-0}{0-2}$

$m = -\frac{3}{2}$

x-Intercept

$b = z_{1} - m\cdot x_{1}$

$b = 0 -\left(-\frac{3}{2} \right)\cdot (2)$

$b = 3$

The equation of the line in the xz-plane is $z = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot x+3$ or $3\cdot x + 2\cdot z = 6$

After comparing each equation of the line to the definition of the equation of the plane, the following coefficients are obtained:

$a = 3$ , $b = 3$ , $c = 2$ , $d = 6$

Hence, none of the options presented are valid. The plane is represented by $3 \cdot x + 3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6$ .

I'm confused on how to create ratios

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Latoya:

cran : lem = 2 1/5 : 1 4/5

= 11/5 : 9/5

= 11 : 9

Lem : total = 9 : 20

Parker:

cran : lem = 2 1/2 : 3 1/2

= 5/2 : 7/2

= 5 : 7

Lem : total = 7 : 12
