Answer:
option 4 ⇒ 236 lb.
Step-by-step explanation:
Best explanation of the question is as shown in the attached figure.
we will use the parallelogram method to calculate resultant force.
to get the length of the resultant force ⇒ use the cosines law
The cosine law is a² = b² + c² - 2 * b * c * cos (∠A)
Applying at the question where b = F₁ , c = F₂ and ∠A = ∠x
Given that F₁ = 100 pounds , F₂ = 150 pounds and ∠x = 180° - 40° = 140°
∴ (Resultant force)² = 100² + 150² - 2 * 100 * 150 * cos (∠140) = 55481
∴ Resultant force = √55481 = 235.54 ≅ 236 pounds
The answer is option 4 ⇒ 236 lb.
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>
No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.
====================================================
Explanation:
The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.
The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8
We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2
Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.
Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.
