We are given that a laboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation (sigma) or 0.001 g in repeated weighing. Scale readings in repeated weighing are Normally distributed with mean equal to the true weight of the specimen.

Three weighing of a specimen on this scale give 3.412, 3.416, and 3.414 g.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the true mean specimen is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean weighing of specimen = $\frac{3.412+3.416+3.414}{3}$ = 3.414 g

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 0.001 g

n = sample of specimen = 3

$\mu$ = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used z statistics because we know about population standard deviation (sigma).</em>

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

P(-2.5758 < N(0,1) < 2.5758) = 0.99 {As the critical value of z at 0.5% level

of significance are -2.5758 & 2.5758}

P(-2.5758 < $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.5758) = 0.99

P( $-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X - \mu}$ < $2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

P( $\bar X-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $3.414-2.5758 \times {\frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3} } }$ , $3.414+2.5758 \times {\frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3} } }$ ]

= [3.4125 , 3.4155]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for this specimen is [3.4125 , 3.4155].

Answer:if We should put it in a decimal it’s 0.1 as a fraction it’s 11/110

Step-by-step explanation: You have to add all the numbers from the table and then add 11 wich makes it 11/110 you also add 11 beacahss it’s how many times yellow has landed on tails hope I am right

WILL MARK BRAINIEST y=4 times x + 8 y=3 times x + 2 tell me how you solved by using the subduction method

navik [9.2K]

2 × 4 = 8. Well, in Algebra we don't use blank boxes, we use a letter. ... Instead of saying "obviouslyx=2", use this neat step-by-step approach: ... it to both sides. 4x=8 divide left and right by 4. Which is ... 1x = 2. Solved! x = 2 ... If we multiply by 3 we can cancel out the divide by 3 (because 3/3=1) ... 3 times xplus 9 is 45:.
