A new catalyst is being investigated for use in the production of a plastic chemical. Ten batches of the chemical are produced.

The mean yield of the 10 batches is 72.5% and the standard deviation is 5.8%. Assume the yields are independent and approximately normally distributed. Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean yield when the new catalyst is used.

Answer:

CI=(66.54,78.46)                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A new catalyst is being investigated for use in the production of a plastic chemical. Ten batches of the chemical are produced. The mean yield of the 10 batches is 72.5% and the standard deviation is 5.8%. Assume the yields are independent and approximately normally distributed.

To find : A 99% confidence interval for the mean yield when the new catalyst is used ?

Solution :

Let X be the yield of the batches.

We have given, n=10 , \bar{X}=72.5\% , s=5.8%

Since the size of the sample is small.

We will use the student's t statistic to construct a 995 confidence interval.

\bar X\pm t_{n-1,\frac{\alpha}{2}}\frac{s}{\sqrt n}

From the t-table with 9 degree of freedom for \frac{\alpha}{2}=0.005

t_{n-1,\frac{\alpha}{2}}=t_{9,0.005}

t_{n-1,\frac{\alpha}{2}}=3.250

The 99% confidence interval is given by,

CI=72.5 \pm 3.25\frac{5.8}{\sqrt{10}}

CI=72.5 \pm 5.96

CI=(72.5+5.96),(72.5-5.96)

CI=(66.54,78.46)

If the leg of a triangle is 48 and the hypotenuse is 60 what is the length of the other leg
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The length of the other would be 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

b² = c² - a²

b² = 60² - 48²

b² = 3600 - 2304

b² = 1296

√b² = √1296

b = 36
