Let the following sample of 8 observations be drawn from a normal population with unknown mean and standard deviation: 22, 18, 1

4, 25, 17, 28, 15, 21. Use Table 2.a. Calculate the sample mean and the sample standard deviation. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, "sample mean" to 3 decimal places and "sample standard deviation" to 2 decimal places.) Sample mean Sample standard deviation b. Construct the 80% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round "t" value to 3 decimal places, and final answers to 2 decimal places.) Confidence interval to c. Construct the 90% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round "t" value to 3 decimal places, and final answers to 2 decimal places.) Confidence interval to d. What happens to the margin of error as the confidence level increases from 80% to 90%?As the confidence level increases, the interval becomes narrower.As the confidence level increases, the interval becomes wider.

Answer:

a:  Sample mean: 20, Sample standard deviation: 1.732

b:  19.13 <µ < 20.87

c:  18.84< µ < 21.16

d:  as the confidence level increases, the interval becomes wider

Step-by-step explanation:

a:  Sample mean is found by adding up all the individual values of the sample, then dividing by the total number of values in the sample.  

Sample standard deviation is the square root of the variance

See the first attached photo for the calculations of these values.

We need to create a 80% confidence interval for the population.  Since n < 30, we will use a t-value with degree of freedom of 7 (the degree of freedom is always one less than the sample size.  

Look for the column on the t-distribution chart that has "area in two tails" of 0.20 (80%), and row 7 (degree of freedom)

The t-value is 1.415

See the second attached photo for the construction of the confidence interval

We need to create a 90% confidence interval for the population.  Since n < 30, we will use a t-value with degree of freedom of 7 (the degree of freedom is always one less than the sample size.  

Look for the column on the t-distribution chart that has "area in two tails" of 0.10 (90%), and row 7 (degree of freedom)

The t-value is 1.895

See the third attached photo for the construction of the confidence interval

Find x please help thank you
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: x=(7√6)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we would have to find the hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle. First, we would have to find the hypotenuse by using the 30-60-90 triangle on top to find it.

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x in length. the x is the same in all sides. All you would have to do is to plug it in. The leg opposite of 60° is x√3 in length. the leg opposite of 30° is x in length.

Since we know that 7 is opposite of the 30° angle, we know that x is 7. Across fron 60° is the hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle. That leg is x√3. We plug in x=7 and get 7√3.

The hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle is x√2 and the legs are both x. We can set 7√3 equal to x√2 to find x of the missing side.

7√3=x√2           [divide both sides by √2]

x=(7√6)/2

Now, we know x=(7√6)/2.

A jeweler wants to combine a 60% gold alloy with a 20% gold alloy to make 1000 grams of 50% gold alloy. How many grams of 60% al
kramer

Answer:

750 grams of 60% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x = amount of 60% alloy and y = amount of 20% alloy

Equating the amounts of gold:

0.6x+0.2y = 1000(0.5)

Since there must be 1000 grams total:

x+y = 1000

Writing the 2 resulting equations together:

0.6x + 0.2y = 500

x + y = 1000

Multiply the first equation by 5:

3x + y = 2500

x + y = 1000

Subtracting the 2nd equation from the 1st:

2x = 1500

x = 750

Answer: 750 grams of 60% alloy
