A student records the repair cost for 22 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $98.78 and standard deviation of $15.49 are

subsequently computed. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

The critical value that should be used is T = 2.0796.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers is between $91.912 and $105.648.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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 = 22 - 1 = 21

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 21 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.0796, which is the critical value that should be used.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0796\frac{15.49}{\sqrt{22}} = 6.868

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 98.78 - 6.868 = $91.912

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 98.78 + 6.868 = $105.648

The 95% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers is between $91.912 and $105.648.

If you flip two coins 96 times what is the best prediction for the number of times they would both land on tails
emmainna [20.7K]
Flipping two coins gives four possibilities: HH, HT, TH, TT

So P(TT)=1/4

So we'd expect a quarter of the trials to be two tails.

\frac 1 4 \times 96 = 24 trials expected to be two tails.

What is the area of the trapezoid?
Alecsey [184]

Area of trapezoid:

A = 1/2(b1+b2)h

where

b1 = 30,

b2 = 28+12 = 40


Triangle FOG

a^2 = c^2 - b^2

a^2 = 13^2 - 12^2

a^2 = 169 - 144

a^2 = 25

a = √25

a = 5


FO = 5 so height h = FO = 5

Now you can find the Area of trapezoid

A = 1/2(b1+b2)h

A = 1/2(30 + 40) (5)

A = 1/2(70)(5)

A = 175


Answer

175 square units

Write each expression with a single rational exponent. Show each step of your process. Which expressions are equivalent? Justify
Lena [83]

The expression of all the algebra as single rational exponent are; As written below.

<h3>How to Express Exponents?</h3>

1) We want to express ⁴√x³. This can be expressed as;

x^(3/4)

2) We want to express the exponent ¹/x⁻¹. This is expressed as a single rational exponent as; x

3) We want to have the given expression as a single rational exponent. The expression is; ¹⁰√(x⁵ · x⁴ · x²)

We add the exponents to get;

¹⁰√(x¹¹) = x^(¹¹/₁₀)

4) x^(¹/₃) * x^(¹/₃) * x^(¹/₃)

We just add the exponents to get;

x¹ = x
