The lengths of text messages are normally distributed with an unknown population mean. A random sample of text messages is taken

and results in a 95% confidence interval of (23,47) characters. What is the correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval?

Answer:

95% of the text messages have length between 23 units and 47 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The lengths of text messages are normally distributed.

95% confidence interval:

(23,47)

Thus, we could interpret the confidence interval as:

About 95% of the text messages have length between 23 units and 47 units.

By Empirical rule for a normally distributed data, about 95% of data lies within 2 standard deviations of mean , thus we can write:

\mu - 2\sigma = 23\\\mu +2\sigma = 47\\\Rightarrow \mu = 35\\\Rightarrow \sigma = 6

Thus, the mean length of text messages is 23 units and standard deviation is 6 units.

Answer:

Correct interpretation is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the lengths of text messages are normally distributed with an unknown population mean.

Also, a random sample of text messages is taken and results in a 95% confidence interval of (23,47) characters.

Now, the correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval is that we are 95% confident that the population mean will lie between the 23 and 47 as the confidence interval is estimated taking into consideration the population mean only.

(30 points) The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral JKLM are J(−3, 2) , K(3, 5) , L(9, −1) , and M(2, −3) .
Which statement correctly describes whether quadrilateral JKLM is a rhombus?

Quadrilateral JKLM is not a rhombus because there is only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.

The point (Negative StartFraction StartRoot 2 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction, StartFraction StartRoot 2 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction)
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

\cot(x)  =  - 1 \: and \:  \cos(x)  =  -  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given point is :

( -  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}, \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2})

This point is in the second quadrant.

This means:

\cos(x) = -  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2},  \sin(x) =  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2})

Cotangent is cosine/sine

\cot(x)=\frac{ \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} }{ -  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} }  =  - 1

Brody has his computer repaired at store A. His bill was:
PIT_PIT [208]

Initial repair cost = $1200

Gratuity = 15% of the initial repair cost

= 15% of 1200

=\frac{15}{100} (1200)

= 15 × 12

= 180

Hence, the gratuity for the service is $180.

Which graph is the result of reflecting f(x) = One-fourth(8)x across the y-axis and then across the x-axis?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function increases in

quadrant 3 into quadrant 4 and approaches y = 0. It goes through

(negative 1, negative 2) and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 0.25) ⇒ last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The function f(x)=\frac{1}{4}(8)^{x} is reflected across the

  y-axis and then across the x- axis

- Lets revise the reflection of a function across the axes

- If the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, then the new  function

 h(x) = - f(x)

- If the function f(x) reflected across the y-axis, then the new  function

 g(x) = f(-x)

∵ f(x)=\frac{1}{4}(8)^{x} is reflected across the y-axis

- Change the sign of x

∴ Its image is g(x) where g(x)=\frac{1}{4}(8)^{-x}

∵ g(x)=\frac{1}{4}(8)^{-x} is reflected across the x-axis

- Change the sign of y

∴ Its image is h(x) where h(x)=-\frac{1}{4}(8)^{-x}

∴ h(x) is the image of f(x) after reflected across the y-axis then

  reflected across the x-axis

* Look to the attached graph for more understand

- f(x) represented by red

- g(x) represented by blue

- h(x) represented by green

* From the graph

- The green graph is in the 3rd and 4th quadrants

- Approaches y = 0 (x-axis)

- point (-1 , -2) lies on it

- It cross the y-axis at point (0 , -0.25)

∴ The answer is the last one

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function increases in

quadrant 3 into quadrant 4 and approaches y = 0. It goes through

(negative 1, negative 2) and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 0.25)
