Answer:

c. 0.1391 < Ï < 0.2311

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval is given as:

Mean ± z × Standard deviation/√n

Z score for 98% confidence interval = 2.326

Mean = Significance level = 100% - 98%

= 2% = 0.02

Standard deviation = S=0.0165

n= 37

Hence,

Confidence Interval =

0.02 ± 2.326 × 0.0165/√37

0.02 ± 0.0063094687

Confidence Interval

0.02 - 0.0063094687

= 0.1391

0.02 ± 0.0063094687

= 0.2311

Hence, the Confidence Interval = (0.1391, 0.2311)

= c. 0.1391 < Ï < 0.2311

After a certain medicine is ingested, its concentration in the bloodstream changes over time.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Every hour, the medicine concentration decays by a factor of 4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the elapsed time, <em>t</em>, in minutes, since the medicine was ingested, and its concentration in the bloodstream, <em>C</em> (<em>t</em>), is:

C(t)=61\cdot (0.96)^{t}

The decay function is:

y=a(1-r)^{t}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final amount

<em>a </em>= initial amount

<em>r</em> = decay rate

<em>t</em> = time

From the provided expression the decay rate is:

1-r=0.96\\r=1-0.96\\r=0.04

Thus, every hour, the medicine concentration decays by a factor of 4%.

True or False: Like the edges of a filled-in area, the endpoints of a polygon do not need to conform to snap points.
kirill [66]

Answer:

The answer is "False."

Explanation:

An area is considered the amount of space that an object occupies. A filled-area subjects the object to be made  up of lines. These lines connect with each other to form an "edge."

The connection of the lines in order to define the object's shape or area are considered "snap points." Remember that "polygons" are made of line segments, where their endpoints meet with each other in order to define its closed shaped. <u>Thus, it needs to conform to "snap points."</u>

This explains the answer.

Leo is constructing a tangent line from point Q to circle P. What is his next step? circle P and point Q on the outside of circl
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Construct a circle from point R with the radius RP

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a tangent, the following steps are required

1) A line is drawn connecting the point to the center of the circle to which the tangent is to be drawn

2) The perpendicular bisector of the line constructed to get the mid point of the line

3) From the midpoint of the line found in the step above the compass is adjusted to reach the center of the given circle and a circular arc is drawn across the circumference of the given circle

4) The point of intersection of the arcs and the circumference of the given circle are the tangent points

Therefore, the correct option is to construct a circle from point R with the radius RP.

A pair of sunglasses is on sale for $26. The original price of the sunglasses was $40. What percent of the original price is the
GarryVolchara [31]
If the glasses were origanum 40, and were on sale for 26,we minus them from eachother to find out how much money was saved. So 40-26= 14, if $14 was saved we put 14 over the original price and times it buy 100 14/40x100= 35% So 35% was saved. 100-35= 65. Therefore 65% of the original price was paid and 35% was saved.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_}{n_2}}

And replacing we got:

(9.2 -8.8) - 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.2903

(9.2 -8.8) + 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.5097

And the confidence interval for the difference of means would be given by:

0.2903 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 0.5097

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

We have the following data given:

\bar X_1 = 9.2 , \bar X_2 = 8.8, \sigma_1= 0.3, n_1 = 27, \sigma_2 = 0.1, n_2 = 30

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 93% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.93=0.07 and \alpha/2 =0.035. And the critical value would be given by:  

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.811, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.811  

The confidence interval is given by:

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_}{n_2}}

And replacing we got:

(9.2 -8.8) - 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.2903

(9.2 -8.8) + 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.5097

And the confidence interval for the difference of means would be given by:

0.2903 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 0.5097
