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.

Nikki used the calculations shown to determine whether a carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton o
Lemur [1.5K]

Given :

A carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton of 12 eggs cost $2.39, and a carton of 18 eggs cost $3.39. Unit price of the 12-egg carton = ($2.39)(12 eggs) = $28.68 per egg Unit price of the 18-egg carton = ($3.39)(18 eggs) = $61.02 per egg The 12-egg carton has the lower unit cost, so it is the better buy.

To Find :

What was her first error.

Solution :

Her first error is to find Unit price of egg in each carton.

To find, unit price we should divide total amount by number of units :

Unit price for carton of 12 eggs, $ (2.39)/12 = $0.199 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Solve for x, given the equation Square root of x plus 9 − 4 = 1.
finlep [7]

Remember that an extraneous solution of an equation is a solution that emerges from the algebraic process of solving the equation but is not a valid solution of the equation.

First, we are going to solve our equation algebraically:

Step 1 simplify the equation:

\sqrt{x} +9-4=1

\sqrt{x}+ 5=1

Step 2 subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

\sqrt{x} +5-5=1-5

\sqrt{x} =-4

Step 3 square both sides of the equation:

\sqrt{x} ^2=(-4)^2

x=16

Next, we are going to replace our solution in our original equation and check if it is a valid solution:

\sqrt{x} +9-4=1

\sqrt{16} +5=1

4+5=1

9\neq 1

Since 9 is not equal to 1, x=16 is not valid solution of the equation; therefor it is an extraneous solution.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: x = 16, solution is extraneous

Which of the following best explains how this relationship and the value of sin theta can be used to find the other trigonometri
Lena [83]

Answer:

OPtion I is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Once we know sin of an angle, and it lies in II quadrant, we know that

cos, sec, tan and cot would be negative but csc will be positive.

So use the fact that

sin^{2}t+cos^{2} t=1\\cost =-\sqrt{1-sin^2 t}

Thus cos is obtained using negative square root.

Now tan = sin/cos, and sec = 1/cos:

cot =1/tan and csc =1/sin

Thus all value can be obtained easily

So option I
