The mean diastolic blood pressure for a random sample of 70 people was 94 millimeters of mercury. if the standard deviation of individual blood pressure readings is known to be 12 millimeters of mercury, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean diastolic blood pressure of all people.

Answers

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we make use of the formula for Confidence Interval:

Confidence Interval = X ± z * σ / sqrt (n)

where X is the mean value, z is the z score which is taken from the standard tables, σ is the standard deviation, and n is the number of samples

z = 1.645 (at 90% Confidence Level)

Substituting the values into the equation:

Confidence Interval = 94 ± 1.645 * 12 / sqrt (70)

Confidence Interval = 94 ± 2.36

Confidence Interval = 91.64, 96.36

Therefore at 90% confidence level, the blood pressure reading ranges from 91.64 mmHg to 96.36 mmHg.

What is the square root of 26 in simplest radical form?

Answers

Final answer:

The square root of 26 in simplest radical form is just √26, as 26 has no perfect square factor. It can also be expressed as 26 raised to the power of 0.5 based on the concept of fractional powers corresponding to roots.

Explanation:

The square root of 26 in its simplest radical form cannot be simplified further as a perfect square factor because 26 is not a perfect square. However, if we apply the concept of expressing numbers as fractional powers, we can say that any number 'x' squared, written as x², is equivalent to the square root of 'x'. Thus, the square root of 26 can also be written as 26 to the power of 0.5 or 26⁰.⁵.

Expressing the concept mathematically, we can write the square root of any number 'x' as x to the power of 0.5, which is a helpful way to solve for unknown values in various equations. This idea is useful in scenarios where different roots of a number or expressions involving fractional exponents are to be calculated, and it is essential to remember that the square root is just another form of an exponent.

My past due bill is $585.00, and I just made payment arrangements for the next 3 months to keep my account from being suspended. My normal monthly bill is $50.00 per month. How much will I need to pay each month?"

Answers

585/3 = 195 + 50 = $245

Answer:

$245

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : My past due bill is $585.00, and I just made payment arrangements for the next 3 months to keep my account from being suspended. My normal monthly bill is $50.00 per month.

To Find:  How much will I need to pay each month?"

Solution:

Past due bill = $585

Now  just made payment arrangements for the next 3 months to keep my account from being suspended

So, Payment each month of past bill = [tex]\frac{585}{3}=195[/tex]

My normal monthly bill is $50.00 per month.

So, I need to pay per month = $50+$195= $245

Thus ,I need to pay $245 per month .

what operation represents a ratio

Answers

The operation that would represent a ratio would be division. A ratio, in mathematics, relates two numbers which indicates how many time is the first value contains the second value. It says how much of something is there as compared to another thing. For example, we have 3 blue circles to 1 red circle, it would be written as 3/1 or 3:1.  Ratio and division are closely related. However, ratio is a relationship between things and division is an operation that can be used in this relationship but is not limited to this problem. If you are given 14 dogs, 7 chickens and 21  cows, the ratio would be 2:1:3. Indeed, you have divided the values but this is a ratio problem rather than a division problem.

The longest side of an acute isosceles triangle is 8 centimeters. Rounded to the nearest tenth, what is the smallest possible length of one of the two congruent sides?

Answers

This isosceles acute triangle has 2 equal sides (let it be a and the third = 8
To have a triangle we should comply with the following inequality:
a + a > 8
2a > 8
and a>4



Final answer:

To comply with the triangle inequality theorem, the smallest possible length of the congruent sides in an acute isosceles triangle with the longest side being 8 centimeters, would be slightly greater than 4 centimeters, rounded to the nearest tenth (4.1 centimeters).

Explanation:

In the context of an acute isosceles triangle, the longest side is the base and the other two sides are congruent or have equal length. The smallest possible length of the congruent sides comes into play in respect of the triangle inequality theorem, stating that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. Thus, for the smallest possible length, each of the congruent sides must hence be just slightly larger than half the length of the longest side. So for an 8 centimeter base, the smallest length for the congruent sides should be slightly more than 4 centimeters, let's call it 4.1 centimeters, when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Hello there! :)

This equation is written in slope-intercept form. which means we can easily idenify the slope and the y-intercept.

First of all, slope-intercept form looks like this:

y=mx+b

The letter m represents the slope, while the letter b represents the y-intercept.

Now, let's look at the values that we have.

We are given the equation of the line:

y=6x-9

We know that m is the slope; therefore, in this equation, 6 is the slope.

-9 is the y-intercept (the letter b)

Therefore, 6 is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

[tex]2(x-5)-6x=22[/tex] ⇒ We start by multiplying out the bracket and this property is called DISTRIBUTIVE property 

[tex]2x-10-6x=-22[/tex] ⇒ from here the next step is simplifying by collecting like terms

Clearly, the two angles are vertically opposite

and vertically opposite angles are always equal

So, x+40=3x

Subtracting both sides by x, we get

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The equation shows the relationship between x and y : [tex]y=-7x+9[/tex]

To find : What is the slope of the equation?

Solution :

The general slope form of the equation is [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Which function represents g(x), a reflection of f(x) =2/5 (10)x across the x-axis? g(x) =-2/5 (10)x g(x) =-2/5(1/10)^x g(x) =2/5(1/10)^-x g(x) =2/5 (10)-x

Answers

all values of f(x)  will change from positive to negative if you reflect in x-axis.

So the first choice is the correct one.

Answer:

A. [tex]g(x)=-\frac{2}{5}(10)^x[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function [tex]f(x)=\frac{2}{5}(10)^x[/tex].

Now, g(x) is obtained by reflecting the function f(x) over x-axis.

Reflection of f(x) over x-axis changes f(x) to -f(x).

So, we get,

[tex]g(x)=-f(x)[/tex]

i.e. [tex]g(x)=-\frac{2}{5}(10)^x[/tex]

Thus, the reflected function is [tex]g(x)=-\frac{2}{5}(10)^x[/tex].

So, option A is correct.

What is the sum of 12 and the quantity 8 times a number k is equal to 48? It was on my math homework, it hardly makes any sence to me, please help me, whats the answer?

Answers

Final answer:

The question is asking for the solution to the algebraic problem 12 + 8k = 48. By isolating 'k', it is found that the value of 'k' is 4.5.

Explanation:

The problem presented here belongs to the branch of algebra. It is showing a relationship between the sum, multiplication, and is presented in a typical algebraic equation format. Let's break it down:

The sum of 12 and a number (which is 8 times k) is equal to 48. This can be written in equation form as:

12 + 8k = 48

To find the value of k, we need to isolate 'k' in the equation. First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

8k = 48 - 12

Then, simplify the right side:

8k = 36

Finally, divide both sides by 8 to solve for k:

k = 36 / 8

So, k = 4.5.
