The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 53.9 for a sample of size 24 and standard deviation 5.6. Estimate how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic blood pressure (using a 90% confidence level). Assume the data is from a normally distributed population. Enter your answer as a tri-linear inequality accurate to three decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

The  estimate is

             [tex]52.02 < \mu < 55.78[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample mean is [tex]\ = x = 53.9[/tex]

     The sample size is  n =  24

      The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 5.6[/tex]

 

Given that the confidence level is  90% the level of significance is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]

            [tex]\alpha = 10 \%[/tex]

            [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table.The value is  

           [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.10 }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]

The reason we are obtaining critical value of    [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] instead of    [tex]\alpha[/tex] is because    [tex]\alpha[/tex]

represents the area under the normal curve where the confidence level interval (  [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex] ) did not cover which include both the left and right tail while  

[tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is just the area of one tail which what we required to calculate the margin of error

NOTE: We can also obtain the value using critical value calculator (math dot armstrong dot edu)

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

          [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]E = 1.645 * \frac{5.6 }{ \sqrt{24} }[/tex]

          [tex]E = 1.880[/tex]

The  estimate of how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic blood pressure(using a 90% confidence level) is mathematically represented as

         [tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]53.9 - 1.880 < \mu < 53.9 + 1.880[/tex]

         [tex]52.02 < \mu < 55.78[/tex]

what is 76.32 divided by 24.98 using compatible numbers to estimate each quotient?

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 3.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Using "compatible numbers" we can simply round these numbers to integer values.  Let's make 76.32 => 76 and 24.98 => 25

So from here let's do 76/25 to get 3 R 1/25

1/25 as a decimal is .04

So far, we have 3.04.  Going back to Look at our decimals, .32 and .98, there is a larger difference in our down rounding with the .32 than the up rounding from our .98.  So we should consider an extra value in our decimal.

Considering our whole number of 3.0, we can assume that our rounding will have an increase of about .01 or .015 in error.

Thus our number will be 3.04 + .01.

Making our quotient approximately 3.05.

Does anyone know the answers to the graded activities on plato?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation

There are some activities in Courseware content that report scores and some that just report mastery and/or completion status.

Resolution

Dynamic vs. Non-dynamic mastery tests

Mastery tests give mastery status if the score is 80% or higher, but not all tests report a score. There are two types of mastery tests in Courseware content:

Non-dynamic tests: Those that do report a score, such as those in the Writing Process and Practice titles, in the Grammar and Mechanics modules, give the same number of questions each time; these are non-dynamic tests. For example, Splitting Fused Run-ons: Mastery Test presents ten questions. Even if the Learner answers the first three questions incorrectly and is, at that point, no longer able to answer eight correctly to achieve mastery, the remaining seven questions are presented.

Dynamic tests: Mastery tests from some content titles, such as Essential Reading Skills, however, are dynamic, which means they adapt to the Learner's responses. These tests do not always give the maximum number of questions; instead, they will end sooner if 80% is either achieved or no longer achievable. These tests show mastery if 80% or better was achieved, but do not show a score. For example, in Essential Reading Skills, Pronouns: Mastery Test, the maximum number of questions presented is five; mastery requires four questions are answered correctly. The test will end early if the student answers the first four correctly or two incorrectly out of the first four. Mastery is still based on achieving 80% or better, but the score is not fully determined, so no score is reported, by design.

3600 = 48*(x + 48)                  Remove the brackets/

3600 = 48x + 48^2                 Expand

3600 = 48x + 2304                Subtract 2304 from both sides

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 54. What are the two integers?

Answers

26 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sum of two even numbers = 54

let one number be x

another number be x +2

x + x +2 = 54

2x + 2 = 54

2x = 54 - 2

2x = 52

x = 52/2

x = 26

Which algebraic expression means “three more than a number squared”? 2 n + 3 2 n minus 3 n squared + 3 n squared minus 3

Answers

the answer is n^2+3 or n squared + 3

when it says “three more” it’s implying + 3. When it says “a number squared”, we can use a variable (n) to represent any number and then square it making it n^2.

al we have to do is combine both parts to get n^2+3

The algebraic expression that means "three more than a number squared" is n² + 3, where n is the number.

What is the algebraic expression?

Algebraic expressions are mathematical statements with a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers.

The statement is given in the question, as follows:

“three more than a number squared”

The expression n² represents the square of the number, and the expression + 3 represents the addition of three more to the square of the number.

So, n² + 3 represents the value of the square of the number plus three.

Thus, the algebraic expression that represents "three more than a number squared" is n² + 3.

Any 30-60-90 triangle will have its hypotenuse twice as long compared to the short leg. The short leg here is 5 (it's opposite the smallest angle), so that doubles to 2*5 = 10 which is the value of x.

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

  The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  number of purple  kernel is  [tex]n_k = 3593[/tex]

        The number of  yellow kernel is  [tex]n_y = 1102[/tex]

Generally the ration of the purple to the yellow kernels is mathematically evaluated as

              [tex]r = \frac{n_k}{n_y}[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]r = \frac{3593}{1102}[/tex]

              [tex]r = 3.3[/tex]      

              [tex]r \approx 3[/tex]

Therefore the ratio is
