ple mean is 16.40 minutes and the sample standard deviation is 4.00 minutes. Construct the 95 percent confidence interval for the mean time required by all adults to learn the task. Assume that X, the time to learn a task, is distributed normally.

Answer: (15.263,\ 17.537)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, we have

Sample size : n= 50

\overline{x}=16.40

s=4.00

Since population standard deviation is unknown, so we use t-test.

Critical value for  95 percent confidence interval  :

t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{49, 0.025}= 2.009575\approx2.010

Confidence interval : \overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

16.40\pm (2.010)\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=16.40\pm1.13702770415\\\\=16.40\pm1.1370\\\\=(16.40-1.1370,\ 16.40+1.1370)\\\\=(15.263,\ 17.537)

Required 95% confidence interval :  (15.263,\ 17.537)

How much of the circle is shaded? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Alchen [17]
What I would do is find the common denominator for both fractions. The common denominator in this case would be 24 seeing as both 3 and 8 go into 24 evenly. 1/3 would equal to 8/24 by multiplying both 1 and 3 by 8 and 3/8 would equal to 9/24 by multiplying both 3 and 8 by 3. Add 8 and 9 from the fractions 8/24 and 9/24 which would give you 17/24. To find the remaining section of the circle, subtract 17 from 24 which would give you 7/24. 7/24 doesn't reduce any further so your answer would be 7/24 of the circle is shaded.

Which number line represents the following statement?<br><br> A number is more than negative five.
jarptica [38.1K]
Number Line A, well the first number line.

The open circle shows us that -5 is NOT in the solution. All the numbers greater than -5 ( x > -5) are in the solution.
