order to estimate the average time spent on the computer terminals per student at a university, data were collected for a sample of 81 business students over a one week period. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.8 hours. With a 0.95 probability, the margin of error is approximately a. 0.20 b. 0.39 c. 1.96 d. 1.64
Using the z-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the population, the margin of error is given by:
b. 0.39.
What is a t-distribution confidence interval?The confidence interval is:
[tex]\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which:
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the sample.The margin of error is given by:
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so the critical value is z = 1.96.
As for the other parameters, we have that [tex]\sigma = 1.8, n = 81[/tex].
Hence, the margin of error is given by:
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]M = 1.96\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{81}}[/tex]
[tex]M = 0.39[/tex]
Hence option b is correct.

Answer:
1200 more beats in 3 seconds or
400 more beats in 1 second
Step-by-step explanation:
A Mosquito beats its wings at a rate of 600 times per second.
A honey bee beats its wings at a rate of 200 times per second.
600 - 200 = 400
The mosquito beats 400 more times per second
400 X 3 = 1200
If f is a second-degree polynomial function such that f(3)=5, f'(3)=6, and f''(3)=4, what is the value of f(2) ?
so let's say the equation is y = ax² + bx + c, where a,b,c are constants.
we know that f(3) = 5, or namely when x = 3 , y = 5.
we also know that f'(3) = 6, or namely the slope at the point (3,5) is 6.
we also know that at (3,5) the 2nd derivative is 4, so a positive number simply tell us its concavity, is up, so is a parabola opening upwards.
[tex]y=ax^2+bx+c\implies \left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=2ax+b \right|_{x=3}~~ = ~~ 6\implies 6=2ax+b \\\\\\ 6=2a(\stackrel{x}{3})+b\implies 6=6a+b\implies 6-6a=b\implies \boxed{6(1-a)=b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \left. \cfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=2a \right|_{x=3}~~ = ~~4\implies 2a=4\implies a=\cfrac{4}{2}\implies \boxed{a=2}~\hfill \boxed{-6=b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill[/tex]
[tex]y=2x^2-6x+c\qquad \begin{cases} x=3\\ y = 5 \end{cases}\implies 5=2(3)^2-6(3)+c\implies \boxed{5=c} \\\\\\ y=2x^2-6x+5~\hfill y(2)=2(2)^2-6(2)+5\implies \blacktriangleright y(2)=1 \blacktriangleleft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
There is a vertical asymptote x=3 and x=-1 so our rational function will contain
(x-3)(x+1).
Since we have a horinzintal asymptote, our numerator will be either a constant function, or linear function.
we have a zero at approximately, at 1 so our numerator will include
[tex] \frac{x - 1}[/tex]
So our rational function is
[tex] \frac{x - 1}{(x - 3)(x + 1)} [/tex]
There is a vertical asymptote x=3 and x=-1 so our rational function will contain option C [tex]f(x) = \dfrac{x-1}{(x-3)(x+1)}[/tex].
When do we get horizontal asymptote for a function?The line y = a is a horizontal asymptote if the function f(x) tends to 'a' from the upside of that line y = a, or from downside of that line.
Since we have a horizontal asymptote, our numerator will be either a constant function or a linear function.
We have given a zero at approximately, 1 so our numerator will include (x-1).
So our rational function is
[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{x-1}{(x-3)(x+1)}[/tex]

What is unit rate?A rate is a ratio that compares two quantities of DIFFERENT. kinds of UNITS. A unit rate has a denominator of 1 unit when the rate is written as a fraction. To write a rate as a unit rate: divide the numerator and the denominator of the rate by the denominator.
here, we have,
to determine the number of days
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
Size = 5 cups
Rate = 1/3 cup per day
The question illustrates unit rates
A unit rate is a rate in which the denominator of a ratio is 1 unit.
In other words, it is the amount of something per one unit of another thing.
Using the above as a guide, we have the following:
Number of days = 5/(1/3)
Evaluate the quotient
Number of days = 15/1 days
This gives
Number of days = 15 days

the vertex of this parabola is at (4, -3). when the x-value is 5, the y-value is -6. what is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation?*sorry edited now
Answer:
- 3
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
here (h, k ) = (4, - 3 ) , then
y = a(x - 4)² - 3
to find a substitute x = 5, y = - 6 into the equation
- 6 = a(5 - 4)² - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )
- 3 = a(1)² = a
y = - 3(x - 4)² - 3 ← expand factor using FOIL
y = - 3(x² - 8x + 16) - 3
= - 3x² + 24x - 48 - 3
= - 3x² - 24x - 51 ← in standard form
coefficient of the x² term is - 3

Can some help me I will mark u brilliant
Answer:
The answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a circle is pie radius ^2. Its asking for the surface area. So I got C because you do pie 18^2 and gets you approximately 1017. Although A also says 18 as the radius, it says meters. After you solve a surface area problem you do square meters or square units. For volume you have to use units cubed or units ^3. Make sure to always do this or your teacher might count you as wrong.
Answer:
Let's first try to find the radius before finding the diameter because when you find the radius, you double it to get the diameter.
To find the radius, use the area for a circle formula and plug in the values you know so far, so the formula is;
A = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]
What we know:
1,017 is the area.Plug that area in our equation:-
A = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]
1,017 = 3.14[tex]r^{2}[/tex]
Solve for r;
÷3.14 ÷3.14
324(approximate) = [tex]r^{2}[/tex]
√324 = r
18 = r, the radius is around 18 square meters (do not mistake the unit for some other unit).
Therefore, your answer is C.Another alternative way;Plug in your options' numbers into the equation;
A = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]
And by looking at the options, we can see the only number here being used is 18, so we use 18 in the formula for the area of a circle to check if it'll result in 1,017 as the area.
Also: Notice if it says diameter or radius when using this solution, you are looking for the radius first.

On the basis of her newly developed technique, a student believes she can reduce the amount of time schizophrenics spend in an institution. As director of training at a nearby institution, you agree to let her try her method on 20 schizophrenics, randomly sampled from your institution. The mean duration that schizophrenics stay at your institution is 90 weeks, with a standard deviation of 10 weeks. The scores are normally distributed. The results of the experiment show that patients treated by the student stay at the institution a mean duration of 84 weeks. What do you conclude about the student’s technique? Use α = .05. What are the 7 steps?
The exercise above is referred to as Hypothesis Testing which is also called Significance Testing.
What is Significance Testing?
Significance testing is a method that is used to evaluate a research question. This is important because, after you have set a research question or hypothesis, the next step is to check whether it is Null or not.
What are the seven steps involved in the above exercise are:
Two-Tailed (non-directional test)Alpha (α) = 0.05μ = 90σ = 10N = 20X = 84s = 10
Using ∝ = 0.05₂ tail, the conclusion is given as follows:
Z[tex]_{obt}[/tex] = (84-90)/10/[tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]
= - 6/10/3.1622777
= -6/3.1622777
= -1.8973666
Z[tex]_{crit}[/tex] = for a two-tailed test with ∝ = 0.05 = = ± 1.960
Because we are looking at the left (negative, fewer) tail, Z[tex]_{crit}[/tex] = -1.960
Since | Z[tex]_{obt}[/tex] = -1.897 | [tex]\geq[/tex] | Z[tex]_{crit}[/tex] = -1.960 |
It does fall within the critical region for rejection (left tail), therefore we reject the null hypothesis (H₀) and conclude that the average time spent in the institution for the sample of patients is significantly lower than the institution's average stay.
