A study reports the mean change in HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) of adults eating raw garlic six days a week for six months. The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given as plus or minus 7 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dl). This means tha:a) There is a 95% probability that the true population mean is within 7 mg/dl. b) The study used a method that gives a results within 7 mg/dl of the truth about the population in 95% of all samples. c) 95% percent of the population has changed their HDL after eating raw garlic six days a week for six months. d) We can be certain that the study results is within 7 mg/dl of the truth about the population. e) We could be certain that the study result is within 7 mg/dl of the truth about the population if the conditions for inferences were satisfied.

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error describes how many percentage points the results will differ from the real population value, thus 'the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given as plus or minus 7 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dl)' can be interpreted as 'The study used a method that gives a results within 7 mg/dl of the truth about the population in 95% of all samples.'

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
