You are curious about the average number of yards Matthew Stafford throws for each game for the Detroit Lions. You randomly sele

ct 20 games and see that the average yards per game is 273.7 with a standard deviation of 31.64 yards. You want to create a 95% confidence interval for the true average number of yards per game he throws. What is the margin of error for this estimate

Answer:

The margin of error for this estimate is of 14.79 yards per game.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

T interval

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 = 20 - 1 = 19

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 19 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.093

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

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

You randomly select 20 games and see that the average yards per game is 273.7 with a standard deviation of 31.64 yards.

This means that n = 20, s = 31.61

What is the margin of error for this estimate?

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 2.093\frac{31.61}{\sqrt{20}}

M = 14.79

The margin of error for this estimate is of 14.79 yards per game.

The volume of a cone is 763.02. the radius and height of the cone are equal. What is the radius of the cone?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The radius of the cone is 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a cone

The volume of a cone is expressed as

V=1/3(πr²h)

We were told that the radius r and the height h are equal

I.e r=h

Substituting h=r in the formula we have

V= 1/3(πr²*r)

V =1/3(πr³)

To find the radius r let us substitute our given 763.02cm³ (note we assume unit in cm)

763.02= 1/3(3.142r³)

763.02= (3.142r³)/3

763.02*3=3.142r³

2289.06=3.142r³

r³=2289.06/3.142

r³= 728.54

r= ³√728.54

r= 8.99cm

≈r= 9cm

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

C is the most suspicious set.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would expect that B wins 4/5 * 30 =  24 games.

In set  A,  B  wins 23 games.

In B, B wins 24 games.

In C, B wins  15 games.

In D, B wins 25 games.

So  result C is very suspicious.
