Answer:

3x – 2 = 76 (Alternate Interior Angles)

3x = 76 + 2

3x = 78

x= 26°.

x + 2 = 40 (Alternate Interior angles).

x = 40 - 2

x= 38

You are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the 90% and 95% confide

FrozenT [24]

Question:

You are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals. A random sample of 45 home theater systems has a mean price of $114.00. Assume the population standard deviation is $15.30. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean.

Answer:

At the 90% confidence level, confidence interval = 110.2484 < μ < 117.7516

At the 95% confidence level, confidence interval = 109.53 < μ < 118.48

The 95% confidence interval is wider

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have

Sample size, n = 45

Sample mean, $\bar x$ = $114.00

Population standard deviation, σ = $15.30

The formula for Confidence Interval, CI is given by the following relation;

$CI=\bar{x}\pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Where, z is found for the 90% confidence level as ±1.645

Plugging in the values, we have;

$CI=114\pm 1.645 \times \frac{15.3}{\sqrt{45}}$

or CI: 110.2484 < μ < 117.7516

At 95% confidence level, we have our z value given as z = ±1.96

From which we have $CI=114\pm 1.96 \times \frac{15.3}{\sqrt{45}}$

Hence CI: 109.53 < μ < 118.48

To find the wider interval, we subtract their minimum from the maximum as follows;

90% Confidence level: 117.7516 - 110.2484 = 7.5

95% Confidence level: 118.47503 - 109.5297 = 8.94

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is wider.

Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}$ or $\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}$

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

$\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}$

Therefore, the solution is 31.

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as $\displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n}$ meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:
