The number of square feet per house is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 154 square feet and an unkno

wn population mean. If a random sample of 16 houses is taken and results in a sample mean of 1550 square feet, find a 80% confidence interval for the population mean. Round your answer to TWO decimal places.

Answer: (1500.66,1599.34)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean:

\overline{x}\pm z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

,where \overline{x} = Sample mean , n= Sample size, z* = critical two tailed z-value , \sigma = population standard deviation.

As per given , we have

n= 16

\sigma = 154 square feet

\overline{x}= 1550 square feet

\alpha= 1-0.80 = 0.20

Critical z-value = z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.2/2}=z_{0.1}=1.2815

Confidence interval for population mean:

1550\pm (1.2815)\dfrac{154}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\ = 1550\pm (1.2815)\dfrac{154}{4}\\\\= 1550\pm 49.33775\\\\ =(1550-49.33775,\ 1550+49.33775)\\\\\approx (1500.66,\ 1599.34)

Required confidence interval:  (1500.66,1599.34)

Which best describes the transformation from the graph of f(x)2 to the graph of f(x)=(x-3)2-1
____ [38]
The giving functions are from dofferent types. transforming a function does not change it's type so it is impossible to transfer f(x)=2 to f(x)=(x-3)^2-1.

What is the slope?
Lena [83]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need two points to find the slope

( 20,20) and (60,50)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (50-20)/(60-20)

   = 30/40

   = 3/4

The equation of a line is -6x-2y=-18<br> What is the x-intercept of the line?
Fed [463]

 -6x - 2y = -18

-6x - 2(0) = -18

   -6x - 0 = -18

        -6x = -18

         -6      -6

           x = 3

hope this helps :)
