Anna is in a cave 42 feet below the cave entrance. She descends 10 feet, then ascends 15 feet. Find her new position relative to
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Her new position is 37 feet below the cave entrance

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ The cave entrance is the zero position

∵ Anna is in 42 feet below the cave entrance

→ Below zero means negative

∴ Anna is in -42 feet

∵ She descends 10 feet

→ Descend means negative

∴ She is in -42 + -10 = -52 feet

∵ She ascends 15 feet

→ Ascend means positive

∴ She is in -52 + 15 = -37 feet

→ -37 means she is in below the cave entrance by 37 feet

∴ Her new position is 37 feet below the cave entrance

The proprietor of a boutique in New York wanted to determine the average age of his customers. A random sample of 25 customers r
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872    

28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=28 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=10 represent the sample standard deviation

n=25 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=25-1=24

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,24)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.064

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872    

28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)

A gardener planted some seedlings at equal distances apart along a straight road. The 3rd seedling and the 5th seedling were 9/1
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Answer:

17 seedlings

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The seedlings are at an equal distance in a straight line.

Distance between 3rd seedling and 5th seedling = 9/10 m

So, distance between 3rd seedling and 4th seedling = 9/10 ÷ 2 = 9/20 m

So, the distance between two seedlings in a line = 9/20 m

The given distance between 2nd seedling and the last seedling = 6 3/4 m = 27/4 m
