In circle Y, what is mArc T U?

For this case the 95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

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 mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

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

$df=n-1=40-1=39$

For this case the 95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

Solve for x*<br> (17x - 8)

djyliett [7]

Answer:x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle is an equilateral triangle with all angles equal.

Sum of angles in a triangle=180

17x-8+17x-8+17x-8=180

Collect like terms

17x+17x+17x-8-8-8=180

51x-24=180

51x=180+24

51x=204

Divide both sides by 51

51x/51=204/51

x=4

Sam's Furniture Store places the following advertisement in the local newspaper.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

Sofa = s
Love seat = l
Chair = c

Sofa and love seat cost = $1300
Sofa and 2 chairs cost = $1400
Sofa, love seat and one chair cost = $1600

Love seat = ?

<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Equations as per given are:</u>

s + l = 1300
s + 2c = 1400
s + l + c = 1600

<u>Subtract equation 1 from equation 3:</u>

s + l + c - s - l = 1600 - 1300
c = 300

<u>Considering this in the equation 2:</u>

s + 2*300 = 1400
s = 1400 - 600
s = 800

<u>Substituting s in the equation 1:</u>

800 + l = 1300
l = 1300 - 800
l = 500

<u>Answer:</u> Love seat costs $500
