n a random sample of 10 residents of the state of Florida, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 2.8 pounds with a stan

dard deviation of 0.64 pounds. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Florida. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places

Answer:

The critical value is T = 2.2622.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Florida is between 1.352 pounds and 4.248 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 10 - 1 = 9

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.2622, which is the critical value.

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.2622*0.64 = 1.448

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.8 - 1.448 = 1.352 pounds

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.8 + 1.448 = 4.248 pounds

The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Florida is between 1.352 pounds and 4.248 pounds.

Write the equation of the quadratic function in standard form represented by the graph
Nutka1998 [239]
Hello : 
f(x) = <span>a(x-k)²+k....... the point vertex is (h , k )
in this exercice : h = -3 and k = -1    s0 f(x) = a(x+3)²-1
find : a 
but f(0)=8
a(0+3)² -1 = 8
9a-1=8
9a =9
a=1
f(x) =(x+3)²-1 =x²+6x+9-1
f(x) = x²+6x+8    .... (</span><span>the quadratic function in standard form )</span>
