A triangle has a perimeter of 30cm. Side y is twice as long as side x. Side z is 4 less than side x.

(1 point) Suppose we want a 95% confidence interval for the average amount spent on books by freshmen in their first year at col

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a) $n=(\frac{1.960(16)}{5})^2 =39.33 \approx 40$

So the answer for this case would be n=40 rounded up to the nearest integer

b) For this case if we see the formula for the margin of error

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

We can see that the margin of error is inversely proportional to the sample size so if we want a samller margin of error we need a LARGER sample

Answer: LARGER

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean

$\sigma=16$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

Part a

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.025;0;1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=1.960$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.960(16)}{5})^2 =39.33 \approx 40$

So the answer for this case would be n=40 rounded up to the nearest integer

Part b

For this case if we see the formula for the margin of error

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

We can see that the margin of error is inversely proportional to the sample size so if we want a samller margin of error we need a LARGER sample

How do i graph q is greater than -1.3 on a number line

kompoz [17]

Answer:

an open circle on -1.3 on the line and draw a line to the right with an arrow.

Step-by-step explanation:

On your number line, draw an open circle on -1.3 and then draw a line on the number line going to the right and ending with an arrow at the end. The open circle means that it is that starting point, but is not equal to it.

Describe the net for a square pyramid with a base with edges of 6 inches and slant height of 4 inches. Calculate the surface are

motikmotik

The square pyramid with a base with edges of 6 inches and slant height of 4 inches have a surface area of 84 in².

The net of the square pyramid have a base of 6 inches and the height of each triangle is 4 inches.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

The square pyramid with a base with edges of 6 inches and slant height of 4 inches. Hence:

Surface area = (6 * 6) + 2(6 * 4) = 84 in²

The net of the square pyramid have a base of 6 inches and the height of each triangle is 4 inches.
