Answer:

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".  

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".

\bar X represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma represent the population standard deviation  

n represent the sample size  

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution  

X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505

If y varies directly as x and y = 144 when x = 12, what is the value of y when x = 17?
olasank [31]
Direct variation:
y=kx

y=144 when x=12.
144=12k \\ k=\frac{144}{12} \\ k=12

y=? when x=17.
y=12 \times 17 \\
y=204

y=204 when x=17.

torisob [31]

Answer:

A. m-6/24

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the required expression because,

1. Quotient of 24 and 6 less than m.

2. It means quotient of 24 and 6 subtracted from m.

3. Representing it mathematically, m-6/24.

Find the parabola whose minimum is at (−12,−2)(−12,−2) rather than the point given in the book. the parabola's equation is y=x2+
Hoochie [10]
The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is given by

y-k=a(x-h)^2

where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Given that the vertex of the parabola is (-12, -2), the equation of the parabola is given by

y-(-2)=a(x-(-12))^2 \\  \\ y+2=a(x+12)^2=a(x^2+24x+144)=ax^2+24ax+144a \\  \\ y=ax^2+24ax+114a-2 \\  \\ y=x^2+24x+ \frac{114a-2}{a}

For a = 1,

y=x^2+24x+112

<span>The parabola whose minimum is at (−12,−2) is given by the equation y=x^2+ax+b, where a = 24 and b = 112.</span>
