From a random sample of 58 businesses, it is found that the mean time the owner spends on administrative issues each week is 21.69 with a population standard deviation of 3.23. What is the 95% confidence interval for the amount of time spent on administrative issues? A. (19.24, 24.14) B. (21.78, 22.60) C. (20.86, 22.52) D. (20.71, 22.67) C. (20.86, 22.52) If a confidence interval is given from 45.82 up to 55.90 and the mean is known to be 50.86, what is the margin of error? 2.52 5.0...

If A is an m × n matrix and if the equation Ax=b is inconsistent for some bb in Rm, then A cannot have a pivot position in every row.True If the equation Ax=b is inconsistent, then b is not in the set spanned by the columns of A.True If A is an m × n matrix whose columns do not span Rm, then the equation Ax=b is inconsistent for some b in Rm.True Any linear combination of vectors can always be written in the form Ax for a suitable matrix A and vector x.True The equation Ax=b is con...

The City of Rexburg reports that the nitrate concentration in the city's drinking water supply is between 1.59 and 2.52 ppm (parts per million,) and values outside of this range are unusual. We will assume μ−2σ=1.59 ppm and μ+2σ=2.52 ppm. It is reasonable to assume the measured nitrate concentration is normally distributed. Estimate the mean of the measured nitrate concentration in Rexburg's drinking water.(1.59+2.52)/2= 4.11/2= 2.055 Curvature Residual PlotIf the residual plot ...
