Mr. Bond’s class wanted to estimate the mean mass of Snickers Fun Size bars. They randomly selected 74 bars and recorded the mas

s of each unwrapped bar. The bars had a mean mass of 17.1g with a standard deviation of 0.76g. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for µ = the true mean mass of Snickers Fun Size bars.

Step 1: Find the standard error (SE)

The standard error is given by

SE=\frac{s}{\sqrt[]{n}}\begin{gathered} \text{ Where } \\ SE=\text{ the standard error} \\ s=\text{ the sample standard deviation} \\ n=\text{ the sample size} \end{gathered}

In this case,

n=74,s=0.76

Therefore,

SE=\frac{0.76}{\sqrt[]{74}}\approx0.0883

Step 2: Find the alpha level (α)

\alpha=1-\frac{(\text{Confidence level})}{100}\alpha=1-0.99=0.01

Step 3: Find the critical probability (P*)

P^{\prime}=1-\frac{\alpha}{2}

Therefore,

P^{\cdot}=1-\frac{0.01}{2}=0.995

Step 4: Find the critical value (CV)

The critical value the z-score having a cumulative probability equal to the critical probability (P*).

Using the cumulative z-score table we will find the z-score with value of 0.995

Hence,

CV=2.576

Step 5: Find the margin of error (ME)

ME=SE\times CV

Therefore,

ME=0.0883\times2.576=0.2275

Step 6: Find the confidence interval (CI)

\begin{gathered} CI\text{ is given by} \\ CI=(\bar{x}-ME,\bar{x}+ME) \\ \text{ In this case} \\ \bar{x}=17.1 \end{gathered}

Therefore,

CI=(17.1-0.2275,17.1+0.2275)=(16.8725,17.3275)

Hence there is a 99% probability that the true mean will lie in the confidence interval

(16.8725, 17.3275)

PLZ HELP ASAP INSCRIBED QUADRILATERALS
svp [43]
For an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles add up to 180 degrees. In this case, if we are looking for the measure of angle D, we can use the fact that angles I & D add up to 180 degrees. Since angle I = 117:
117 + D = 180
D = 63 degrees

] Complete the explanation of how you know whether the triangles are similar. If possible, find the Indicated length. A P 2.0 1.
disa [49]

1. The two triangles are similar because the two pairs of angles are equal, therefore the third angles of both triangles must also be equal.

We can call this the AAA similarity criterion

2. To find QR, we must use ratios between 2 known similar sides of both triangles,

\frac{2.0}{1.7}=\frac{1.2}{QR}\text{  , QR=}\frac{1.2\times1.7}{2.0}=\text{ 1.02}

So, QR =1.02
