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 cost of renting a car for a day is $0.70 per mile plus a $20 flat fee
Andreyy89

Answer:

a) y = .70x + 20

-To find this, use the rate as x since it will change based on the number of miles. Since 20 is a flat fee, it can be added at the end as a constant.

b) This graph forms a straight line.

-This is because the answer in a is a linear equation.

c) The slope is .70 and the y-intercept is 20.

-For this one, the y-intercept is always the constant at the end of the equation and the slope is the coefficient of x.

The distance from Earth to Mars is about 35,000,000 miles. What is the order of magnitude of this number?. . . . . . . . A.. . 6
Musya8 [376]
The scientific notation of the given, 35,000,000 is 3.5 x 10^7. The order of magnitude of a scientific notation is the exponent of its multiplier, 10. From the derived scientific notation above, the exponent of 10 is 7. Thus, the answer is letter D.
