The average natural gas bill for a random sample of 21 homes in the 19808 zip code during the month of February was $311.90 with

a sample standard deviation of $51.60. Based on the sample, construct a 90% confidence interval for the true mean natural gas bill for homes in the 19808 zip code area in February.

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the true mean natural gas bill for homes in the 19808 zip code area in February is between $292.48 and $331.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

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 = 21 - 1 = 20

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 20 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.7247

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.7247\frac{51.60}{\sqrt{21}} = 19.42

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 311.9 - 19.42 = $292.48

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 311.9 + 19.42 = $331.32

The 90% confidence interval for the true mean natural gas bill for homes in the 19808 zip code area in February is between $292.48 and $331.32

The graph below shows the function f(x)=x-3/x2-2x-3. Which statement is true?
BARSIC [14]
1. Domain.

We have x^2-2x-3 in the denominator, so:

x^2-2x-3\neq0\\\\(x^2-2x+1)-4\neq0\\\\(x-1)^2-4\neq0\\\\(x-1)^2-2^2\neq0\qquad\qquad[\text{use }a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)]\\\\(x-1-2)(x-1+2)\neq0\\\\
(x-3)(x+1)\neq0\\\\\boxed{x\neq3\qquad\wedge\qquad x\neq-1}

So there is a hole or an asymptote at x = 3 and x = -1 and we know, that answer B) is wrong.

2. Asymptotes:

f(x)=\dfrac{x-3}{x^2-2x-3}=\dfrac{x-3}{(x-3)(x+1)}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{x+1}}

We have only one asymptote at x = -1 (and hole at x = 3), thus the correct answer is A)

Graph the function.<br> y=-x-6 ifx&lt;-6<br> y = 2x + 12 if x&gt;-6
Naddik [55]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

For x < -6, the function has a slope of -1 and an x-intercept of -6.

For x > -6, the function has a slope of 2 and an x-intercept of -6.

The function given here is not defined at x=6, so there is a hole at (-6, 0).

Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.950.950, point, 95 pro
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

For each target, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he hits it, or he does not. The probability of hitting a target is independent of other targets. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

0.95 probaiblity of hitting a target

This means that p = 0.95

10 targets

This means that n = 10

What is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Either he hits all the targets, or he misses at least one of them. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 10) + P(X < 10) = 1

We want P(X < 10). So

P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.95)^{10}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.5987

P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10) = 1 - 0.5987 = 0.401

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them
