Question on Statistics and Confidence Intervals
A field test for a new exam was given to randomly selected seniors. The exams were graded, and the sample mean and sample standard deviation were calculated. Based on the results, the exam creator claims that on the same exam, nine times out of ten, seniors will have an average score within 5% of 75%.
Is the confidence interval at 90%, 95%, or 99%? What is the margin of error? Calculate the confidence interval and explain what it means in terms of the situation. (10 points)

Answers

Answer 1

The phrasing "nine times out of ten" means 9/10 = 0.90 = 90% is the confidence level. We're confident 90% of the time that the confidence interval captures the population parameter we're after (in this case mu = population mean)

The portion "have an average score within 5% of 75%" means that 75% = 0.75 is the center of the confidence interval, and it goes as low as 0.75 - 0.05 = 0.70 and as high as 0.75 + 0.05 = 0.80

This confidence interval is from 70% to 80%, meaning that nine times out of ten, we're confident that the average score is between 70% and 80%

We write the confidence interval as (0.70, 0.80). It's common to use the notation (L, U) to indicate the lower (L) and upper (U) boundaries. You might see the notation in the form L < mu < U. If so, then it would be 0.70 < mu < 0.80; either way they mean the same thing.

The margin of error is 0.05 as its the 5% radius of the interval. It tells us how far the most distant score is from the center (75%)

=========================================

In summary, we have these answers

confidence level = 90%margin of error = 5% = 0.05confidence interval = (0.70, 0.80)interpretation = We're 90% confident that the average exam score is between 0.70 and 0.80

What is the volume of a square pyramid whose length of one side of its base is 9cm and whose height is 15cm. Show your work

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 405cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a pyramid is given by

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \times area \: of \: base \: \: \times height[/tex]

height = 15cm

From the question the pyramid is a square pyramid which means it's base is a square

Area of a square = l²

where l is the length of one side

l = 9cm

Area of square = 9² = 81cm²

So the volume of the pyramid is

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \times 81 \times 15[/tex]

[tex]V = 27 \times 15[/tex]

We have the final answer as

V = 405 cm³

Therefore the volume of the pyramid is

405cm³

Answer: [tex]5x^3 - 2[/tex]

Explanation:

The two terms are [tex]5x^3[/tex] and [tex]2[/tex]. Terms are separated by either a plus or minus.

We can write it as [tex]5x^3+(-2)[/tex] which is an equivalent form. Here the two terms are [tex]5x^3[/tex] and [tex]-2[/tex]. This is because adding a negative is the same as subtracting.

The coefficient is the number to the left of the variable.

The degree is the largest exponent, which helps form the leading term.

The third degree polynomial written above is considered a cubic binomial. "Cubic"  refers to the third degree, while "binomial" means there are 2 terms.

We can write something like [tex]5x^3[/tex] as 5x^3 when it comes to computer settings.

(x-2) is a factor of x^2-3x^2+kx+14. The value of k is?​

Answers

Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that your polynomial is

x^2 - 3x^2 + kx + 14

If x - a is a factor of this polynomial, then a is a root.

Use synthetic division to divide (x - 2) into x^2 - 3x^2 + kx + 14:

 2      /      1     -3     k     14

                        2     -2    2k - 4

         -------------------------------------

               1        -1    (k - 2)   2k - 10

If 2 is a root (if x - 2 is a factor), then the remainder must be zero.

Setting 2k - 10 = to zero, we get k = 5.

The value of k is 5 and the polynomial is x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x + 14

A cardboard box without a lid is to be made with a volume of 4 ft 3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard.

Answers

Answer:

2ft by 2ft by 1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface of the cardboard box is expressed as S = 2LW + 2WH + 2LH where L is the length of the box, W is the width and H is the height of the box. Since the cardboard box is without a lid, then the total surface area will be expressed as;

S  = lw+2wh+2lh ... 1

Given the volume V = lwh = 4ft³ ... 2

From equation 2;

h = 4/lw

Substituting into r[equation 1;

S = lw + 2w(4/lw)+ 2l(4/lw)

S = lw+8/l+8/w

Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to w and l will give;

dS/dw = l + (-8w⁻²)

dS/dw = l - 8/w²

Similarly,

dS/dl = w  + (-8l⁻²)

dS/dw = w - 8/l²

At turning point, ds/dw = 0 and ds/dl = 0

l - 8/w² = 0 and w - 8/l² = 0

l = 8/w²  and w =8/l²

l = 8/(8/l² )²

l = 8/(64/I⁴)

l = 8*l⁴/64

l = l⁴/8

8l = l⁴

l³ = 8

l = ∛8

l = 2

Hence the length of the box is 2 feet

Substituting l = 2 into the function l = 8/w² to get the eidth w

2 = 8/w²

1 = 4/w²

w² = 4

w = 2 ft

width of the cardboard is 2 ft

Since Volume = lwh

4 = 2(2)h

4 = 4h

h = 1 ft

Height of the cardboard is 1 ft

The dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard is 2ft by 2ft by 1 ft

The length of a picture is 14.25 inches shorter than twice the width period if the perimeter of the picture is 133.5 inches, find its dimensions

Answers

Answer: Dimension = 27 inches by 39.75 inches

Concept:

A perimeter is a path that encompasses/surrounds/outlines a shape.

Perimeter (rectangle) = 2 (l + w)

l = length

w = width

Solve:

l = 2w - 14.25

w = w

P = 133.5

Given equation

P = 2 (l + w)

Substitute values into the equation

133.5 = 2 (2w - 14.25 + w)

Combine like terms

133.5 = 2 (3w - 14.25)

Distributive property

133.5 = 6w - 28.5

Add 28.5 on both sides

133.5 + 28.5 = 6w - 28.5 + 28.5

162 = 6w

Divide 6 on both sides

162 / 6 = 6w / 6

w = 27 in

l = 2w - 14.25 = 2 (27) - 14.25 = 39.75 in

A farmer has 6 buckets of blueberries and wants to sell them at a market stall. The farmer will charge $1.50 per pint. If each bucket can hold half a bushel of blueberries, how much will the farmer make in selling all of the blueberries?

Answers

Answer:

$96

Step-by-step explanation:

6(1/2) = 3 bushels of berries total

3(4) = 12 pecks of berries total

4(8) = 32 quarts of berries total

32(2) = 64 pints of berries total

64 x $1.50 = $96

Answer:

The farmer will make a total of $96 from selling 6 buckets of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total price is determined by multiplying the 12 pecks down into pints. Each pint sells for 1.50 and he has 64 pints of blueberries.

64 x $1.50 = $96

Warm blooded animals are homeothermic; that is, they maintain an approximately constant body temperature. (Forhumans it's about 37 oC.) When they are in an environment that is below their optimum temperature, they use energy derived from chemical reactions within their bodies to warm them up. One of the ways that animals lose energy to their environment is through radiation. Every object emits electromagnetic radiation that depends on its temperature. For very hot objects like the sun, that radiation is visible light. For cooler objects, like a house or a person, that radiation is in the infrared and is invisible. Nonetheless, it still carries energy. Other ways that energy is lost by a warm animal to a cool environment includes conduction (direct touching of a cooler object) and convection (cooler air moving and carrying thermal energy away). See Heat Transfer for a discussion of all three. For this problem, we'll just consider how much energy an animal needs to burn (obtain from internal chemical reactions) in order to stay warm just from radiation losses. The rate at which an object loses energy through radiation is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann equation: Rate of energy loss = AT4 where T is the absolute (Kelvin) temperature, A is the area of the object, is the emissivity (unitless and =1 for a perfect emitter, less for anything else), and is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant: = 5.67 x 10-8 J/(s m2 K4) Consider a patient trying to sleep naked in a cool room (55 oF = 13 oC). Assume that the person being considered is a perfect emitter and absorber of radiation ( = 1), has a surface area of about 2.5 m2, and a mass of 80 kg. a. A person emits thermal radiation at a rate corresponding to a temperature of 37 oC and absorbs radiation at a rate (from the air and walls) corresponding to a temperature of 13 oC. Calculate the individual's net rate of energy loss due to radiation (in Watts = Joules/second). net rate of energy loss = Watts b. Assume the patient produces no energy to keep warm. If they have a specific heat about equal to that of water (1 Cal/kg-oC) how much would their temperature fall in one hour? (1 Cal = 1kcal = 103 cal) T = oC c.
