N a right triangle ΔABC, the length of leg AC = 5 ft and the hypotenuse AB = 13 ft. Find:

1 answer:

5 0

First find the length of leg BC by using the Pythagorean theorem BC=132+52=12 ft if we find the midpoint of BC which is 6 ft we find where the angle bisector would touch the BC. From there we construct another triangle ANC where AC is equal to 5 ft and NC is equal to 6 ft where we can again use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse which is the angle bisector AN=Angle Bisector=62+52=7.8102 ft.

Answer:

$17-2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=15.641$

$17+2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=18.359$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (15.641;18.359)

And since the lower limit for the confidence interval is higher than 15 we can conclude that at 5% of significance the true mean is higher than 15 cm

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".

$\bar X=17$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 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)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.262$
