n a study of academic procrastination, it was determined that for a random sample of 18 undergrad students at a mid-size public university, the mean time spent studying for the final exam in an intro statistics course was 7.74 hours with a standard deviation of 3.40 hours. Suppose we wish to compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean time spent studying for the intro statistics final exam by all students. The margin of error for this confidence interval would then be calculated using the critical value (c) determined in the previous question as: (Don't worry if your sample size changed- use the one given here).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean time spent studying for the intro statistics final exam by all students is between 6.05 hours and 9.84 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which meas that the t-distribution is used to solve this question

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.11

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.11\frac{3.4}{\sqrt{18}} = 1.69[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 7.74 - 1.69 = 6.05 hours

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 7.74 + 1.69 = 9.84 hours.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean time spent studying for the intro statistics final exam by all students is between 6.05 hours and 9.84 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of filled bags will be 35 for each hour (x) that Jackson works, in addition to those already filled. So, the total number filled after x hours is ...

  35x + 20

We want that number to be at least (greater than or equal to) 1000, so the relation is ...

  35x +20 ≥ 1000

__

To solve this, we first subtract 20:

  35x ≥ 980

Now, we can divide by the coefficient of x.

  x ≥ 980/35

  x ≥ 28 . . . . .  the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the third angle must be ...

  B = 180° -131.6° -11.2°

  B = 37.2° . . . . . . eliminates choice D

You know the two missing sides are both longer than 99.3, eliminating choice C.

Since angle C is the largest angle, side c is the longest side, eliminating choice B.

By the process of elimination, we know the correct choice is A.

__

The Law of Sines will tell you the length of side C is related to the other triangle values by ...

  c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)

Participants selected from "leave state parks the way they are," "increase funding to state parks," or "completely overhaul state parks," and their age was categorized as under 30 years old, between 30 and 50 years old, and over 50 years old. The hypothesis test statistic was calculated to be 15.01. Which of the following is closest to the p- value of the test?

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the p value is shown below:

According to the question

The participant choosen from 3 different state parks, r = 3

And there are 3 different age group, s = 3

So, degrees of freedom is

= (r-1) × (s-1)

= 2 × 2

= 4

And, the Test statistic is 15.01

Now

p-value = P(Chisq < 15.01 )

= 0.9953

Square 1 has a area of 24 square units if square 2 is half the size what is the ratio of the area of square one to square two?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to guess that 1/2 the size means the sides are 1/2 the size.

Square 1 has an area of 24. The sides are s, so the area is found by using s^2

The second square is made from sides that are 1/2 s

Area = 1/2 s * 1/2 s

Area = 1/4 s^2

Area 1 / area 2 = 24 / x^2 = s^2 / 1/4 s^2 =  1/0.25

If log 5 = 0.699 and log 3 = 0.477, find log 45 without using
the log key.

Answers

Answer:

1.653

Step-by-step explanation:

Write log45 as a product of its prime factors

log45= log3^2 * log5

Substitute the given logarithms to the respective numbers.

Remember the laws of logaarithms that * changes to +

log 45 = 0.477*2 + 0.699

You will find that log 45 = 1.653

From the given logarithmic values the value of log45 derived as 0.1590.

What are logarithms?

In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means the logarithm of a number x to the base b is the exponent to which b must be raised, to produce x.

Given that, log5=0.699 and log3=0.477.

Here, log45 can be written as log9×log5=log3²×log5

= 0.477²×0.699

= 0.1590

Therefore, the value of log45 is 0.1590.

which expression can you substitute for x in 5x+y=8 to solve the system below?
5x+y=8
x+4y=2

Answers

Answer:

x =30/19 and y =2/19

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 8

x + 4y = 2

then

5x + y = 8

-5(x +4y =2)

5x + y = 8

-5x - 20y = - 10

0 +y - 20y = -2

- 19y = -2

y = 2/19 then

5x + 2/19 = 8

5x = 152-2/19

5x/5 =150/19 *1/5

x =30/19

there is a 13 degree difference from DBC and DAC

 with that you divide 1540 by 13 as you get that 118.461 feet

that means that there is a 118.461 difference from B to C and A to B
