A local band was interested in the average song time for rock bands in the 1990s. They sampled eight different rock bands and found that the average time was 3.19 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.77 minutes.
Calculate the 95% confidence interval (in minutes) for the population mean.
The 95% confidence interval (in minutes) for the population mean is of:
(2.55, 3.83).
What is a t-distribution confidence interval?The bounds of the confidence interval are given according to the following rule:
[tex]\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which the parameters are described as follows:
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.t is the critical value.n is the sample size.s is the standard deviation for the sample.The distribution is used when the standard deviation of the population is not known, only for the sample.
In the context of this problem, the values of the parameters are given as follows:
[tex]\overline{x} = 3.19, s = 0.77, n = 8[/tex]
The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 8 - 1 = 63 df, is t = 2.3646.
Then the lower bound of the confidence interval is calculated as follows:
[tex]\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.19 - 2.3646\frac{0.77}{\sqrt{8}} = 2.55[/tex]
The upper bound is calculated as follows:
[tex]\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.19 + 2.3646\frac{0.77}{\sqrt{8}} = 3.83[/tex]

slope of 1st line = 3/5
So, the slope of the 2nd line = 3/5
Given point: (3, 4) = (x, y)
To get the y-intercept of the second line, we would insert the slope and the point into the equation of line
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + b} \\ 4\text{ = }\frac{3}{5}(3)\text{ + b} \\ 4\text{ = 9/5 + b} \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{\text{9}}{5}\text{ = b} \\ \frac{20-9}{5}\text{ = b} \\ b\text{ = 11/5} \end{gathered}[/tex]The equation of line parallel to y = 3/5x - 3:

Find the equation of the line described. Write your answer in standard form. Vertical and containing (10,14)
We have here a special case where the line is vertical. In this case, the line has an "infinite" slope (or it is not defined). Therefore, since the line is vertical and contains the point (10, 14), the line is given by the equation:
[tex]x=10[/tex]The standard form of the line is given by the general equation:
[tex]Ax+By=C[/tex]Then, we can rewrite the equation as follows:
[tex]x+0y=10[/tex]We can see that this line contains the point (10,14):
We can see that the vertical line, x + 0y = 10 passes through the point (10, 14).
In summary, the line is given by x + 0y = 10 (A = 1, B = 0, C = 10).

Solution:
Let the total field to plow be 100 %
According to the question,
The field plowed before lunch is shown below:
15 acres field = 30%
30 % field = 15 acres
1 % field = 15/30 acres
The field plow after lunch is 70%.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 70\text{ \% of field = }\frac{15}{30}\times70 \\ =35\text{ acres} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer:
Therefore, the field to plow after lunch in order to finish the field is 35 acres.
karen recorded her walking pace in the table below. what equation best represents this relationship

Find the x-intercepts and y-intercept of the following

Write your answer in coordinate pairs of the form (x, y).
Provide your answer below:
x-intercept: ().(
]).() and
y-intercept:
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 3 x-intercepts (the x- values when y = 0). because y is only 0, when one of the 3 factors is 0.
and that is the case for
x = -7
x = -1
x = 2
so, formally, the x- intercepts are
(-7, 0), (-1, 0), (2, 0)
the y intercept is the y- value when x = 0.
(0 + 7)(0 + 1)(0 - 2) = 7×1×-2 = -14
the y-intercept is formally
(0, -14)
I have a question about how to solve graphing a system of inequalities and about how to do the (0,0)
The given system of inequality is
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x-3y>-12 \\ x+y\ge-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]At first, we must draw the lines to represent these inequalities
[tex]2x-3y=-12[/tex]Let x = 0, then find y
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(0)-3(y)=-12 \\ 0-3y=-12 \\ -3y=-12 \\ \frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{-12}{-3} \\ y=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]The first point is (0, 4)
Let y = 0
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x-3(0)=-12 \\ 2x-0=-12 \\ 2x=-12 \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-12}{2} \\ x=-6 \end{gathered}[/tex]The second point is (-6, 0)
We will do the same with the second line
Let x = 0
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0+y=-2 \\ y=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The first point is (0, -2)
Let y = 0
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+0=-2 \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The second point is (-2, 0)
Since the sign of the first inequality is >, then the line will be dashed
Since the sign of the second inequality is >=, then the line will be solid
Let us substitute x, y by the origin point (0,0) in both inequalities to find the shaded part of each one
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(0)-3(0)>-12 \\ 0-0>-12 \\ 0>-12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the inequality is true then the point (0, 0) lies on the shaded area
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0+0\ge-2 \\ 0\ge-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the inequality is true, then point (0, 0) lies in the shaded area
Let us draw the graph
The red line represents the first inequality
The blue line represents the second inequality
The area of two colors is the area of the solution
Point (0, 0) lies in this area, then it is a solution for the given system of inequalities

The ascension can be modeled using the function:
[tex]d(t)=d_0-r\cdot t[/tex]Where d is the number of feet below the sea level at time t (in seconds), d₀ is the initial "depth", and r is the ascension rate.
From the problem, we identify:

Rewrite each equation in slope intercept form . Then determine whether the lines are perpendicular . Explain your answer .. y - 6 = - 5/2 (x + 4) 5y = 2x + 6
y - 6 = - 5/2 (x + 4)
To write in slope-intercept form means to write in the form;
y= mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the intercept
y - 6 = - 5/2 (x + 4)
open the parenthesis
y - 6 = -5/2 x - 10

y = - 5/2 x - 10 + 6
y = -5/2 x - 4
[tex]y=-\frac{5}{2}x\text{ - 4}[/tex]Next is to check whether 5y = 2x + 6 is perpendicular to the above

End Behavior Graphically
We will investigate how to determine the end behaviours of polynomial functions.
The function given to us is:
[tex]f(x)=123x^3+9x^4-786x-3x^{5^{}}-189x^2\text{ + 1260}[/tex]Whenever we try to determine the end-behaviour of any function. We are usually looking for value of f ( x ) for the following two cases:
[tex]x\to\infty\text{ and x}\to-\infty[/tex]The most important thing to note when dealing with end-behaviour of polynomial functions is that the behaviour is pre-dominantly governed by the highest order term of a polynomial. The rest of the terms are considered small or negligible when considering end-behaviours of polynomials.
The highest order terms in the given function can be written as:
[tex]f(x)=-3x^5[/tex]Then the next step is to consider each case for the value of ( x ) and evaluate the value of f ( x ) respectively.
[tex]\begin{gathered} x\to\infty \\ f\text{ ( }\infty\text{ ) = -3}\cdot(\infty)^5 \\ f\text{ ( }\infty\text{ ) = -3}\cdot\infty \\ f\text{ ( }\infty\text{ ) = -}\infty \end{gathered}[/tex]Similarly repeat the process for the second case:

Step-by-step explanation:
The function P(x) is mapped to I(x) by a dilation in the following graph. Line p of x passes through (negative 2, 4) & (2, negative 2). Line I of X passes through (negative 4, 4) & (4, negative 2).© 2018 StrongMind. Created using GeoGebra. Which answer gives the correct transformation of P(x) to get to I(x)?
When we're dilating a line, we can either multiply the function value by a constant
[tex]f(x)\to kf(x)[/tex]or the argument of the function
[tex]f(x)\to f(kx)[/tex]Since the y-intercept of both functions is the same, then the multiplied quantity was the argument of the function.
We want to know the constant associated to the transformation
[tex]I(x)\to I(kx)=P(x)[/tex]We have the following values for both functions
[tex]\begin{gathered} I(-4)=4,\:I(4)=-2 \\ P(-2)=4,\:P(2)=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]For the same y-value, we have the following correlations
[tex]\begin{gathered} I(-4)=P(-2)=P(\frac{1}{2}\cdot-4) \\ I(4)=P(2)=P(\frac{1}{2}\cdot4) \\ \implies I(x)=P(\frac{1}{2}x) \end{gathered}[/tex]and this is our answer.
[tex]I(x)=P(\frac{1}{2}x)[/tex]
