1 answer:

5 0

If the average amount of meat eaten per person is 261 pounds per year then the average amount of meat eaten per day is 11 ounces.

Given that the average amount of meat eaten per person is 261 pounds per year.

We are required to find the average number of ounces of meat eaten per day.

There are 16 ounces in a pound. So,the average amount of meat eaten per person per year will be 261*16=4176 ounces per year.

Average number of ounces of meat eaten per day is there are 365 days in a year=4176/365=11.44 ounces per day.

Now by rounding it to the nearest ounce we will get 11 ounces.

Hence if the average amount of meat eaten per person is 261 pounds per year then the average amount of meat eaten per day is 11 ounces.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean rating is (5.73, 6.95).

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the mean and standard deviation of the sample:

$M=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{50}(6+4+6+. . .+6)\\\\\\M=\dfrac{317}{50}\\\\\\M=6.34\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{49}((6-6.34)^2+(4-6.34)^2+(6-6.34)^2+. . . +(6-6.34)^2)}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{229.22}{49}}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{4.68}=2.16\\\\\\$

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=6.34.

The sample size is N=50.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{2.16}{\sqrt{50}}=\dfrac{2.16}{7.071}=0.305$
