A forestry researcher wants to estimate the average height of trees in a forest near Atlanta, Georgia. She takes a random sample of 18 trees from this forest. The researcher found that the average height was 4.8 meters with a standard deviation of 0.55 meters. Assume that the distribution of the heights of these trees is normal. For this sample what is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval

Answer:

It's a negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of a positive number is still a positive number.

Answer: 0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the variable x is represented by a standard normal distribution, the probability of x > 0.3 will be calculated thus:

P(x > 0.3)

Then, we will use a standard normal table

P(z > 0.3)

= 1 - p(z < 0.3)

= 1 - 0.62

= 0.38

Therefore, p(x > 0.3) = 0.38

The probability of x > 0.3 is 0.38.

Answer:

Whole number —> X

Twice the square of the number —> 2X²

X + 2X² = 10

2X²+X –10 =0

(2x + 5) ( x–2) =0

2x +5=0 —> 2x= – 5 —> x= – 5/2 = —> x= - 2.5 (rejected)

x–2=0 —> x= 2

So Ans ; X= 2 ( the number )

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The slope is found by

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 1200-1500)/(4-0)

    = -300/4

    =-75

Part B

point slope  y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-1200 = -75(x-4)

slope intercept  y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -75x + 1500

standard form  Ax+By =C

75x + y = 1500

Part C

Change y to g(x) in the slope intercept form

g(x) = -75x + 1500

Part D

Let x = 5

g(5) = -75(5) + 1500

      =-375+1500

      =1125

Answer:

photograph = 55.7mil

painting = 106.2

sculpture = 144.8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of the photograph be x

price of painting = x+50.5

price of sculpture = x+x+50.5-17.1 =2x+33.4

2x+33.4+x+50.5+x=306.7

4x=222.8

x=55.7

price of painting = 55.7+50.5 = 106.2

price of sculpture = 2(55.7)+33.4=144.8

Answer:

10610

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

T=6years

R=3.2%

A=86125

Now,

CA=P[1+R/10]^T

or,P=86125/[1+3.2/10]^6

=86125/5.29

=10610

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer needs to be in slope-intercept form or y=mx+b because the amount of carpet being cleaned every minute is a constant decrease of 9 square feet.

So our b value (or how much carpet cleaned at 0 minutes) is 220

And our m value (or slope or how much carpet is being cleaned every minute) is 9

So if we plug the variables with the tangible numbers we get A(t) = -9x+220 or A(t) = 220-9x.

Answer:

The situation that represents this situation is:

[tex]t = \frac{60}{n}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time t needed to assemble the set is inversely  proportional to the number people n working.

This means that:

[tex]t = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

In which k is the constant of proportionality.

Twelve people can assemble the set in 5 hours.

This means that for [tex]n = 12, t = 5[/tex]. We use this to find k.

[tex]t = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

[tex]5 = \frac{k}{12}[/tex]

[tex]k = 12*5 = 60[/tex]

Write an equation to represent the situation.

[tex]t = \frac{60}{n}[/tex]

Answer:

c=80

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on my reading the critical damping occurs when the discriminant of the quadratic characteristic equation is 0.

So let's see that characteristic equation:

20⁢r^2+c⁢r+80⁢=0

The discriminant can be found by calculating b^2-4aC of ar^2+br+C=0.

a=20

b=c

C=80

c^2-4(20)(80)

We want this to be 0.

c^2-4(20)(80)=0

Simplify:

c^2-6400=0

Add 6400 on both sides:

c^2=6400

Take square root of both sides:

c=80 or c=-80

Based on further reading damping equations in form

a⁢y′⁢′+b⁢y′+C⁢y=0

should have positive coefficients with b also having the possibility of being zero.

Answer:

12/55

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcomes to the number of total outcomes.

Given that the bag contains 8 red balls and 3 white balls, the probability of picking a red ball

p(r) = 8/(8+3) = 8/11

Probability of picking a white ball

= 3/11

when a red ball is picked first, the total number of balls reduces to 10 hence the probability that the second ball is white, given that the first ball is red

=8/11 * 3/10

= 24/110

= 12/55

Answer:

0.6524 = 65.24% probability that the runner will average between 146 and 150 minutes in these 49 marathons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Average of 147 minutes with a standard deviation of 12 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 147, \sigma = 12[/tex]

Consider 49 of the races.

This means that [tex]n = 49, s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{12}{7} = 1.7143[/tex]

Find the probability that the runner will average between 146 and 150 minutes in these 49 marathons.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 150 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 146. So

X = 150

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{150 - 147}{1.7143}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.75[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.75[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9599

X = 146

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{146 - 147}{1.7143}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.583[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.583[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3075.

0.9599 - 0.3075 = 0.6524.

0.6524 = 65.24% probability that the runner will average between 146 and 150 minutes in these 49 marathons.
