A random sample of 28 statistics tutorials was selected from the past 5 years and the percentage of students absent from each on

e recorded. The results are given below. Assume the percentages of students' absences are approximately normally distributed. Use Excel to estimate the mean percentage of absences per tutorial over the past 5 years with 90% confidence. Round your answers to two decimal places and use increasing order.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

X: number of absences per tutorial per student over the past 5 years(percentage)

X≈N(μ;σ²)

You have to construct a 90% to estimate the population mean of the percentage of absences per tutorial of the students over the past 5 years.

The formula for the CI is:

X[bar] ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

⇒ The population standard deviation is unknown and since the distribution is approximate, I'll use the estimation of the standard deviation in place of the population parameter.

Number of Absences 13.9 16.4 12.3 13.2 8.4 4.4 10.3 8.8 4.8 10.9 15.9 9.7 4.5 11.5 5.7 10.8 9.7 8.2 10.3 12.2 10.6 16.2 15.2 1.7 11.7 11.9 10.0 12.4

X[bar]= 10.41

S= 3.71

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.95}= 1.645

[10.41±1.645*(\frac{3.71}{\sqrt{28} } )]

[9.26; 11.56]

Using a confidence level of 90% you'd expect that the interval [9.26; 11.56]% contains the value of the population mean of the percentage of absences per tutorial of the students over the past 5 years.

I hope this helps!

vfiekz [6]
Credit card A
First 3 months:
4.1% / 360 = 0.011% x 30 = 0.34% per month for the first 3 months.
Next 9 months:
18.5% / 360 = 0.051% x 30 = 1.54% per month for the next 9 months.

Credit card B:
First 3 months
3.7% / 360 = 0.010% x 30 = 0.30% per month for the first 3 months
Next 9 months:
18.9% / 360 = 0.0525% x 30 = 1.575% per month for the next 9 months

Credit Card B is the better deal for the first 3 months.
Credit Card A is the better deal for the next 9 months.

A rectangle has a height of w^2+3w+9w 2 +3w+9w, squared, plus, 3, w, plus, 9 and a width of w^2+2w 2 +2w, squared, plus, 2. Expr
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

w⁴+5w³+17w²+24w +18

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length * width

Given

Length  = w²+3w+9

width = w²+2w+2

Area of the rectangle = (w²+3w+9)(w²+2w+2)

Area of the rectangle = w²(w²) + 2w(w²) + 2w² + 3w(w²) + 3w(2w) + 2(3w)+9w²+9(2w)+9(2)

Area of the rectangle = w^4+2w^3+2w²+3w^3+6w^2+6w+9w²+18w+18

Collect the like terms;

Area of the rectangle = w^4+2w^3+3w^3+2w²+6w²+9w²+6w+18w+18

Area of the rectangle = w⁴+5w³+17w²+24w +18

Hence the area of the entire triangle is w⁴+5w³+17w²+24w +18

The rule below shows how Mrs. Rousseau's long-distance phone company computes her monthly bill. Which answer expresses that rule
Ludmilka [50]
So then n=number of long distance calls, then add the flat rate

long distance cost=number of calls times cost per clll or n times 0.42 or 0.42n
the flat rate is 24

so total is c so
c=24+0.42n

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? (1 point)
Sergio [31]

Okay, well we start out with the equation P=66, where P is perimeter. You should create equations using variables to explain each piece of information you are given. Follow the equations below and see if you can understand how to do another one like this. In this problem, l is length and w is width.


P = 66                               The perimeter is equal to 66

l = 3 + w                           The length of one side is 3 more than the width

2l + 2w = 66                      A rectangle's perimeter is calculated by adding the lengths and widths

2(3 + w) + 2w = 66           Use what you know about length from step 2 to replace the variable in step 3

6 + 2w + 2w = 66              Multiply

6 + 4w = 66                       Add like terms

4w = 60                            Subtract

w = 15                             Divide

l = 3 + w                         Remember step 2?

l = 3 + 15                       Replace the variable using your value for w

l = 18                             Add

And you're done! Always check your work. It helps to create a picture of a rectangle while you're doing these problems as well. As you get used to these problems more and more, you can show more or less work than I've shown, but try to stay true to what the teacher asks of you. Good luck!
