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)

Andrea has 3 tiles. One is a regular octagon, one is a regular pentagon and one is a regular hexagon. Andrea thinks the 3 tiles
HACTEHA [7]

From calculations, we can say that the given tiles will not fit together perfectly.

<h3>How to find the sum of interior angles of a Polygon?</h3>

If the tiles join perfectly at a point, sum of all angles around the joining point should be 360°.

Expression for the measure of the interior angle of a polygon,

Interior angle of a polygon = [(n - 2) * 180]/n

Interior angle of a pentagon = [(5 - 2) * 180]/5 = 108°

Interior angle of a hexagon = [(6 - 2) * 180]/6 = 120°

Interior angle of an octagon = [(8 - 2) * 180]/8 = 135°

To prove that the given tiles fit together perfectly → Sum of all the angles around the common point should be 360°

Sum of all interior angles = 108° + 120° + 135° = 363°

Therefore, given tiles will not fit together perfectly.

Find the unit rate. 6 2/5 revolutions in 2 2/3 seconds
Brums [2.3K]
The unit rate will be in revolutions per second. That means divide number of revolutions by number of seconds.

first convert from mixed fraction.
6 2/5 = 32/5 revolutions
2 2/3 = 8/3 seconds

32/5 ÷ 8/3
flip multiply
32/5 × 3/8 = 12/5 revolutions per second

12/5 = 2 2/5 revolutions per second

Rectangle ABCD with length 24 feet and width 20 feet is dilated by a scale factor of 4/3. What is the area of rectangle A'B'C'D'
Natasha_Volkova [10]

multiply the length and with by the scale factor:

24 x 4/3 = 32 feet

20 x 4/3 = 26 2/3 feet

Area is length x width:

32 x 26 2/3 = 853 1/3 square feet.
