A supervisor records the repair cost for 17 randomly selected stereos. A sample mean of $66.34 and standard deviation of $15.22

are subsequently computed. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the stereos. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

Critical value: T = 1.337

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the stereos is between $45.991 and $86.689

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution 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 = 17 - 1 = 16

80% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 16 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.8}{2} = 0.9. So we have T = 1.337, which is the critical value

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 1.337*15.22 = 20.349

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 66.34 - 20.349 = $45.991

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 66.34 + 20.349 = $86.689

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the stereos is between $45.991 and $86.689

The ratio of boys to girls in a certain classroom was 2 : 3. If boys represented five more than one third of the class, how many
Tju [1.3M]
Let the no. Of boys=x and that of girls=y.
The total no. Of students = x+y .
As given by statement the no. Of boys=x={(x+y)/3} + 5
This implies that
X=(x+y+15)/3
Also we know that x/y = 2/3 therefore
From this equation we get x=2y/3 and y=3x/2
By method of substitution we get
X=(x+3x/2+15)/3
•x=(15x+90)/2
•2x=15x+90
•-13x=90
X= -90/13
Now. Y= 3x/2=-270/26
Therefore total
no. Of students= -270/26+(-90/13)
•no. Of students= -450/26

Solve the equation 5x + (−2) = 6x + 4 using the algebra tiles. What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the smaller x
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) Adding -5x on both sides of the equation to remove the smaller x-coefficient

b) Adding -4 on both sides will remove the constant from the right side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

5x + (−2) = 6x + 4

a) What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the smaller x-coefficient?

Smaller x-coefficient is 5x to remove the smaller x-coefficient

So, Adding -5x on both sides of the equation to remove the smaller x-coefficient

b) What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the constant from the right side of the equation?

the constant on right side is 4

Adding -4 on both sides will remove the constant from the right side of the equation

If r(x) = 3x – 1 and s(x) = 2x + 1, which expression is equivalent to (StartFraction r Over s EndFraction) (6)?
Airida [17]

Answer:

\dfrac{r}{s}(6)=\dfrac{3(6)-1}{2(6)+1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for any two function f(x) and g(x) ,

\dfrac{f}{g}(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}

Given functions : r(x)=3x-1  and s(x)=2x+1

Then, \dfrac{r}{s}(x)=\dfrac{r(x)}{s(x)}

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{r}{s}(x)=\dfrac{3x-1}{2x+1}

At x= 6 , we get

\dfrac{r}{s}(6)=\dfrac{3(6)-1}{2(6)+1}

The , The expression is equivalent to \dfrac{r}{s}(6)=\dfrac{3(6)-1}{2(6)+1}

When we further simplify it , we get \dfrac{r}{s}(6)=\dfrac{18-1}{12+1}=\dfrac{17}{13}

A circle with radius of \greenD{4\,\text{cm}}4cmstart color #1fab54, 4, start text, c, m, end text, end color #1fab54 sits insid
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is   329.87\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

A circle with radius of 4cm sits inside a circle with a radius of 11cm. What is the area of the shaded region?

The shaded region is the area outside the smaller circle and inside the larger circle

we know that

To find out the shaded region subtract the area of the smaller circle from the area of the larger circle

so

A=\pi r_a^{2} -\pi r_b^{2}

simplify

A=\pi (r_a^{2} -r_b^{2})

where

r_a is the radius of the larger circle

r_b is the radius of the smaller circle

we have

r_a=11\ cm\\r_b=4\ cm

substitute

A=\pi (11^{2} -4^{2})

A=\pi (105)\ cm^2

assume

\pi=3.1416

substitute

A=(3.1416)(105)=329.87\ cm^2

Milton spilled some ink on his homework paper. He can't read the coefficient of $x$, but he knows that the equation has two dist
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Sum = -81

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

c = 36 ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

x^2 + ax + 36 = 0

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

x = -\alpha and x = -\beta

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0

Open brackets

x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0

To compare the above equation to x^2 + ax + 36 = 0, we have:

a = \alpha + \beta

\alpha \beta = 36

Where: \alpha, \beta and \alpha \ne \beta

The values of \alpha and \beta that satisfy \alpha \beta = 36 are:

\alpha = -1 and \beta = -36

\alpha = -2 and \beta = -18

\alpha = -3 and \beta = -12

\alpha = -4 and \beta = -9

So, the possible values of a are:

a = \alpha + \beta

When \alpha = -1 and \beta = -36

a = -1 - 36 = -37

When \alpha = -2 and \beta = -18

a = -2 - 18 = -20

When \alpha = -3 and \beta = -12

a = -3 - 12 = -15

When \alpha = -4 and \beta = -9

a = -4 - 9 = -13

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9

Sum = -81
