In a recent study of 42 eighth graders, the mean number of hours per week that they watched television was 19.6. Assume the popu

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$19.6-2.42\frac{5.8}{\sqrt{42}}=17.43$

$19.6+2.42\frac{5.8}{\sqrt{42}}=21.77$

And the best option for this case would be:

a. (17.5, 21.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X= 19.6$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean

$\sigma= 5.8$ represent the population deviation

n=42 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=42-1=41$

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the significance would be $\alpha=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.1$ , and the critical value would be $t_{\alpha/2}=2.42$

Replacing we got:

$19.6-2.42\frac{5.8}{\sqrt{42}}=17.43$

$19.6+2.42\frac{5.8}{\sqrt{42}}=21.77$

And the best option for this case would be:

a. (17.5, 21.7)

A Galapagos tortoise can 1/5 mile in an hour. How many hours would it take the tortoise to walk 1/6?

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

5/6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of hours it will take to walk 1/6 of a mile:

$\frac{1/5}{1}$ = $\frac{1/6}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

1/5x = 1/6

x = 5/6

So, it will take the tortoise 5/6 hours to walk 1/6 of a mile

the drama club has sold 942 tickets to their play if their theater seats 57 each row how many full rows were there be how many e

Alona [7]

Since 57x17=969 I did 969-942 and got 27 so there is 16 full rows and then 27 left over so that means it won’t be a full row but 27 extra seats will be filled. (If your wondering where the 17 came from that’s how many rows can be made that’s over 942 because if I did 57x16 it would equal 912 and I would not have had a full row of chairs)
