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.

A parallelogram has a base of length 2x + 1 and a height of x + 3 and has an area of
storchak [24]

Answer:

  • base 7
  • height 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given expressions, we can write the area as ...

  A = BH

  42 = (2x +1)(x +3) = 2x^2 +7x +3

  2x ^2 +7x -39 = 0

  (x -3)(2x +13) = 0

  x = 3   or   -6.5  . . . . .  these values make the factors be zero

In order for the parallelogram to have positive dimensions, the value of x must be 3. So, the base and height are ...

  base = 2(3) +1 = 7

  height = 3 +3 = 6

First you have to solve both inequalities,

3x-1>8

3x>9

x>3

and the other one

2x≤4

x≤2

then you graph each one on the number line

the graph says or, so the solution can satisfy either equation

the solution would be all real numbers except three

the way to write it is x≠3
