If it is assumed that the heights of men are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches, how large a sample sh

ould be taken to be fairly sure (probability 0.95) that the sample mean does not differ from the true mean (population mean) by more than 0.90 in absolute value? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

30 men

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be sure that the sample mean does differ from the population mean by more than 0.90, the sample size (n) that should be used is given by:

0.90 < Z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where 'Z' , for a 95% probability is 1.960, 's' is the standard deviation of 2.5 inches:

0.90 > 1.960\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{n}}\\n >(\frac{1.960*2.5}{0.9})^2\\n>29.64

Rounding up to the nearest whole number, the sample size should be at least 30 men.

Find the inverse function of
shtirl [24]

Answer:

f(x) = 20x - 4 \\ substitute \: y \: for \: f(x) \\ y = 20x - 4 \\ interchange \: x \: and \: y \\ x = 20y - 4 \\ swap \: the \: sides \: of \: the \: equation \\ 20y - 4 = x \\ move \: the \: constant \: to \: the \: right \: hand \\ 20y = x + 4  \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 20 \\ y =  \frac{1}{20} x +  \frac{1}{5}  \\ substitute \: f {}^{ - 1} (x) \: for \: y \\ f {}^{ - 1} (x) =  \frac{1}{20} x +  \frac{1}{5}

The domain of the inverse of a relation is the same as the range of the original relation. In other words, the y-values of the relation are the x-values of the inverse.

Thus, domain of f(x): x∈R = range of f¯¹(x)

and range of f(x): x∈R =domain of f¯¹(x)

If f(x)=X-3/x and g(x) = 5x – 4, what is the domain of (fog)(x)?<br><br><br> NEED HELP FAST!!
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is function composition. We will take the g function and plug it into the f function wherever we see an x. That will look like this when it's done but before it's simplified:

f(g(x))=\frac{5x-4-3}{5x-4} and that can be simplified down to

f(g(x))=\frac{5x-7}{5x-4}

The domain of this function will be all real numbers EXCEPT for the one(s) that cause the denominator to become undefined. Set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x:

5x - 4 = 0 so

5x = 4 and

x = 4/5

In other words, D = {x | x ≠ 4/5}
