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.

If 3/5 w = 4/3, what is the value of w?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

w=20/9 or w=2 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each side by 5/3. Then reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor which is 5 do the same with 3. then multiply the fractions and thus the answer of 20/9 you can simplify the improper fraction if you want the answer is still the same. Hope this helps.

Help. Please. I need help.
malfutka [58]

Answer:

C) 3x+20 < 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 50 is the limit as to what Mary wants to spend, the number on the left side should never be over 50, meaning that the total will be 'less' than 50

The 20 comes from how much she wants, meaning that 3x would be less than 10 dollars a gift.
