Applying the angle addition postulate, the measure of angle RST is: 66°.

<h3>What is the Angle Addition Postulate?</h3>

If two angles share a common vertex and a common side, they are adjacent angles that form a larger angle. According to the angle addition postulate, the sum of these two adjacent angles will give a sum that is equal to the measure of the larger angle they both form.

We know the following:

Measure of angle RSU = 43º

Measure of angle UST = 23º

In the diagram given, angle RSU and angle UST are adjacent angles that form a larger angle, angle RST.

Therefore, based on the angle addition postulate, the measure of angle RST = sum of the measures of angles RSU and UST.

Therefore, we would have:

m∠RST = m∠RSU + m∠UST

Substitute

m∠RST = 43 + 23

m∠RST = 66°

Part I - To help consumers assess the risks they are taking, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes the amount of nico

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

(I) 99% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is [24.169 mg , 30.431 mg].

(II) No, since the value 28.4 does not fall in the 98% confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a new cigarette has recently been marketed.

The FDA tests on this cigarette gave a mean nicotine content of 27.3 milligrams and standard deviation of 2.8 milligrams for a sample of 9 cigarettes.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean nicotine content = 27.3 milligrams

s = sample standard deviation = 2.8 milligrams

n = sample of cigarettes = 9

$\mu$ = true mean nicotine content

Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.

Part I : So, 99% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-3.355 < $t_8$ < 3.355) = 0.99 {As the critical value of t at 8 degree

of freedom are -3.355 & 3.355 with P = 0.5%}

P(-3.355 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 3.355) = 0.99

P( $-3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

P( $\bar X-3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

99% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $27.3-3.355 \times {\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9} } }$ , $27.3+3.355 \times {\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9} } }$ ]

= [27.3 $\pm$ 3.131]

= [24.169 mg , 30.431 mg]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is [24.169 mg , 30.431 mg].

Part II : We are given that the FDA tests on this cigarette gave a mean nicotine content of 24.9 milligrams and standard deviation of 2.6 milligrams for a sample of n = 9 cigarettes.

The FDA claims that the mean nicotine content exceeds 28.4 milligrams for this brand of cigarette, and their stated reliability is 98%.

The Pivotal quantity for 98% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean nicotine content = 24.9 milligrams

s = sample standard deviation = 2.6 milligrams

n = sample of cigarettes = 9

$\mu$ = true mean nicotine content

Here for constructing 98% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 98% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.896 < $t_8$ < 2.896) = 0.98 {As the critical value of t at 8 degree

of freedom are -2.896 & 2.896 with P = 1%}

P(-2.896 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.896) = 0.98

P( $-2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.98

P( $\bar X-2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.98

98% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $24.9-2.896 \times {\frac{2.6}{\sqrt{9} } }$ , $24.9+2.896 \times {\frac{2.6}{\sqrt{9} } }$ ]

= [22.4 mg , 27.4 mg]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is [22.4 mg , 27.4 mg].

No, we don't agree on the claim of FDA that the mean nicotine content exceeds 28.4 milligrams for this brand of cigarette because as we can see in the above confidence interval that the value 28.4 does not fall in the 98% confidence interval.

How many grams of 0.5% hydrocortisone cream must be mixed with 180 g of 2.5 % cream to make a 1 % w/w hydrocortisone cream? HINT

Sophie [7]

Answer:

We need 540 grams of 0.5% hydrocortisone cream

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call x the amount of grams needed. This means that the combined cream will have 180+x grams. We want x such that

x * 0.005 + 180*0.025 = (180+x)*0.01

Hence

0.005x + 4.5 = 1,8+0.01x

Lets put the x in the same side and take common factor

4.5-1.8 = 0.01x-0.005x

2.7 = (0.01-0.005)x = 0.005x

As a result

x = 2.7*0.005 = 540

We need 540 grams.
