An important factor in selling a residential property is the number of times real estate, agents show a home. A sample of 21 hom
Natalka [10]

Using the t-distribution to build the 99% confidence interval, it is found that:

  • The margin of error is of 3.64.
  • The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (19.36, 26.64).

<h3>What is a t-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • t is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • s is the standard deviation for the sample.

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 21 - 1 = 20 df, is t = 2.086.

The other parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 23, s = 8, n = 21

The margin of error is given by:

M = t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.086\frac{8}{\sqrt{21}} = 3.64

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

\overline{x} - M = 23 - 3.64 = 19.36

\overline{x} + M = 23 + 3.64 = 26.64

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (19.36, 26.64).

Two numbers whose sum is 44 and whose product is a maximum
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

x = y = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

It would help to know your math course. Do you know any calculus? I'll assume not.

Equations

x + y = 44

Max = xy

Solution

y = 44 - x

Max = x (44 - x)                    Remove the brackets

Max = 44x - x^2                   Use the distributive property to take out - 1 on the right.

Max = - (x^2 - 44x )               Complete the square inside the brackets.

Max = - (x^2 - 44x + (44/2)^2 ) + (44 / 2)^2 . You have to understand this step. What you have done  is taken 1/2 the x term and squared it. You are trying to complete the square. You must compensate by adding that amount on the end of the equation. You add because of that minus sign outside the brackets. The number inside will be minus when the brackets are removed.

Max = -(x - 22)^2 + 484

The maximum occurs when x = 22. That's because - (x - 22) becomes 0.

If it is not zero it will be minus and that will subtract from 484

x + y = 44

xy = 484

When you solve this, you find that x = y = 22 If you need more detail, let me know.
