Assuming normality, construct the requested confidence interval.

A sociologist is interested in the age at which a mother has her first child. A random sample of 20 recent births yielded an average maternal age to be 30 years with a standard deviation of 6.2 years.

Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean age at which a mother has her first child.

Can I have some help with solving this problem with a TI84 calculator?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The appropriate response is "(26.03, 33.97)".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Average maternal age,

[tex]\bar{x} = 30[/tex]

Standard deviation,

s = 6.2

Random sample,

n = 20

Now,

The degree of freedom will be:

⇒ [tex]df=n-1[/tex]

        [tex]=20-1[/tex]

        [tex]=19[/tex]

"t" at confidence level 99%, will be:

⇒ [tex]\alpha=1-99 \ percent[/tex]

       [tex]=1-0.99[/tex]

       [tex]=0.01[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{\alpha}{2}=\frac{0.01}{2}[/tex]

       [tex]=0.005[/tex]

⇒ [tex]t\frac{\alpha}{2} \ df=t \ 0.005,19[/tex]

By using the student table, we get

             [tex]=2.86 1[/tex]

The margin of error will be:

⇒ [tex]E=\frac{t \alpha}{2,df\times (\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}})}[/tex]

On substituting the estimated values, we get

⇒     [tex]=2.861\times (\frac{6.2}{\sqrt{20}})[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=3.97[/tex]

At 99%, the confidence level will be:

⇒ [tex]\bar{x}-E< \mu <\bar{x}+E[/tex]

⇒ [tex]30-3.97< \mu < 30+3.97[/tex]

⇒ [tex](26.03,33.97)[/tex]

Thus the above is the correct approach.

50 points! Solve the following systems of equations.

Answers

Let -4x - 15y = 17 be known as equation 1 and -x + y = -13 as equation 2.

To solve the system of equations, we need to determine the value of the "x" and "y" variables. Let us start by determining the value of the y variable.

Note: Since the second equation looks easier to solve for y (in my opinion), I will determine the value of y in the second equation.

This can be done by isolating y on one side of the equation.

Equation 2: [tex]\bold{-x + y = -13}[/tex]

Add "x" on both sides of the equation:

[tex]\implies -x + y = -13[/tex]

[tex]\implies -x + y + x = -13 + x[/tex]

[tex]\implies y = -13 + x[/tex]

Therefore, the value of y is -13 + x. Let us substitute the value of y, obtained from equation 2, into equation 1 to determine the value of x.

Equation 1: [tex]\bold{-4x - 15y = 17}[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in the equation:

[tex]\implies 4x - 15y = 17[/tex]

[tex]\implies -4x - 15(-13 + x) = 17[/tex]

Simplify the distributive property:

[tex]\implies -4x - 15(-13 + x) = 17[/tex]

[tex]\implies -4x + (195 - 15x) = 17[/tex]

[tex]\implies -4x + 195 - 15x = 17[/tex]

Combine like terms on both sides:

[tex]\implies -4x + 195 - 15x = 17[/tex]                                         

[tex]\implies -19x + 195 = 17[/tex]                                                                

Subtract 195 on both sides of the equation:                      

[tex]\implies -19x + 195 = 17[/tex]                                                                    

[tex]\implies -19x + 195 - 195 = 17 - 195[/tex]                                    

[tex]\implies -19x = -178[/tex]                                                                        

Divide -19 on both sides of the equation:                        

[tex]\implies -19x = -178[/tex]                                                                

[tex]\implies \dfrac{-19x}{-19} = \dfrac{-178}{-19}[/tex]                                                      

[tex]\implies \bold{x = \dfrac{178}{19} }[/tex]                                                                        

Now, substitute the value of x in -13 + x to determine the value of y. Once determined, we can put the solution in (x, y) form.

[tex]\implies y = -13 + x[/tex]

[tex]\implies y = -13 + \dfrac{178}{19}[/tex]          

[tex]\implies y = \dfrac{-247}{19} + \dfrac{178}{19}[/tex] 

[tex]\implies \bold{y = \dfrac{-69}{19} }[/tex]

∴ Solution ⇒ (x, y) ⇒ (178/19, -69/19)

Therefore, the solution to the following system of equations is (178/19, -69/19)

I need help with math homework algebra #4

Answers

Answer:

A. (-5, 0) and (1, -3)

B. Slope (m) = -½

C. y + 3 = -½(x - 1)

D. y = -½x - ⁵/2

E. ½x + y = ⁵/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Two points on the line from the graph are: (-5, 0) and (1, -3)

B. The slope can be calculated using two points,(-5, 0) and (1, -3):

[tex] slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-3 - 0}{1 -(-5)} = \frac{-3}{6} = -\frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Slope (m) = -½

C. Equation in point-slope form is represented as y - b = m(x - a). Where,

(a, b) = any point on the graph.

m = slope.

Substitute (a, b) = (1, -3), and m = -½ into the point-slope equation, y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - (-3) = -½(x - 1)

y + 3 = -½(x - 1)

D. Equation in slope-intercept form, can be written as y = mx + b.

Thus, using the equation in (C), rewrite to get the equation in slope-intercept form.

y + 3 = -½(x - 1)

2(y + 3) = -1(x - 1)

2y + 6 = -x + 1

2y = -x + 1 - 6

2y = -x - 5

y = -x/2 - ⁵/2

y = -½x - ⁵/2

E. Convert the equation in (D) to standard form:

y = -½x - ⁵/2

½x + y = ⁵/2

There are 125 people on a mountain trail. If 55 people on the trail are children, what percentage of the people on the trail are children?

Answers

Answer:

44%

Step-by-step explanation:

.44 x 125 equals 55 n

Answer:

The percentage of people who were children = 44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total people = 125Children on the trail = 55

We need to determine the percentage of the people on the trail who are children.

All we need is to divide 55 by the total number of people i.e. 125 and then multiply the result by 100.

so

Children percentage = 55 / 125 × 100

                                   = 0.44 × 100

                                   = 44%

Therefore, the percentage of people who were children = 44%

Ava is making Vampire punch for the Halloween party. The recipe makes 12 servings and calls for 3/5 cups of cranberry juice. how much cranberry juice will she need for 15 servings

Answers

Answer:

15/20 cups of cranberry juice

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 cranberry juice makes 12

12/2=6

3/5= 0.3

6/2=3

0.3/2= 0.15

0.15 = 3/20

3/20 cranberry juice makes 3 servings.

add 3 and 12 to make 15 servings, add 3/5 and 3/20.

3/5= 12/20

12/20 + 3/20 = 15/20 cups of cranberry juice

A stock analyst plots the price per share of a certain common stock as a function of time and finds that it can be approximated by the function S(t)=46+12e^−0.04t, where t is the time​ (in years) since the stock was purchased. Find the average price of the stock over the first six years.

Answers

Answer:

The average price of the stock over the first six years is 56.669 US dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price is a continuous and differentiable function, we can determine the average price by means of the following integral equation:

[tex]\bar S = \frac{1}{t_{F}-t_{O}}\cdot \int\limits^{t_{F}}_{t_{O}} {S(t)} \, dt[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]t_{O}[/tex] - Initial time, measured in years.

[tex]t_{F}[/tex] - Final time, measured in years.

If we know that [tex]t_{O} = 0\,yr[/tex], [tex]t_{F} = 6\,yr[/tex] and [tex]S(t) = 46+12\cdot e^{-0.04\cdot t}[/tex], then the average price of the stock over the first six years is:

[tex]\bar S = \frac{46}{6-0} \int\limits^6_0 dt +\frac{12}{6-0}\int\limits^6_0 {e^{-0.04\cdot t}} \, dt[/tex]

[tex]\bar S = \frac{23}{3}\cdot t|\limits_{0}^{6}-\frac{2}{0.04}\cdot e^{-0.04\cdot t}|_{0}^{6}[/tex] (2)

[tex]\bar S = \frac{23}{3}\cdot (6-0)-\frac{2}{0.04}\cdot [e^{-0.04\cdot (6)}-1][/tex]

[tex]\bar S = 56.669\,USD[/tex]

The average price of the stock over the first six years is 56.669 US dollars.
