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.

What is the answer for |x|-7=8 <br> A) x=1<br> B) x= 15<br> C)x= -1 or 1<br> D) x= -15 or 15
borishaifa [10]
The answer is D. "x=-15 or 15."

You can solve this by adding seven on both sides.
|x|-7=8
   +7 +7
------------
|x|=15

Therefore, x is either equal to 15 or -15.

Can someone help me with answer C? its the last one i need
Dmitry [639]

Using the monthly payment formula, it is found that her down payment should be of $1,419.

<h3>What is the monthly payment formula?</h3>

It is given by:

A = P\frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n - 1}

In which:

  • P is the initial amount.
  • r is the interest rate.
  • n is the number of payments.

For this problem, the parameters are:

A = 250, r = 0.072, n = 72.

Hence:

r/12 = 0.072/12 = 0.006.

We solve for P to find the total amount of the monthly payments, hence:

A = P\frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n - 1}

P\frac{0.006(1.006)^{72}}{(1.006)^{72}-1} = 250

0.0171452057P = 250

P = 250/0.0171452057

P = $14,581.

The total payment is of $16,000, hence her down payment should be of:

16000 - 14581 = $1,419.

Suppose j varies jointly with g and​ v, and j=2 when g=4 and v=3. <br> Find j when g=8 and v=9.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

j=12

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a join variation, If j varies jointly with respect to g and v, the equation will be of the form j = kgv

where k is a constant

step 1

Find the value of k

we have

j=2,g=4,v=3

substitute and solve for k

2 = k(4)(3)

2 = 12k

k=\frac{1}{6}

The equation is equal to

j=\frac{1}{6}gv

step 2

Find the value of j when g=8,v=9

substitute the values in the equation and solve for j

j=\frac{1}{6}(8)(9)

j=12

For safety reasons, 4 different alarm systems were installed in the vault containing the safety deposit boxes at a Beverly Hills
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

<em>99.93%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability of Independent Events</u>

Given the probability of success of each detector is 0.84 independently of the others, their combined success/failure probability can be computed with the product rule.

We can calculate the required probability by using the binomial distribution, but it's easier to calculate the probability of the negated event an subtract from 1.

We want to know the probability that a least one of the 4 systems detects the occurrence of theft. That probability is the sum of the probabilities that one of them, two of them, three of them or all of them succeed. The negated event is that NONE of them actually detects the theft. Being p the individual probability of success, p=0.84. Being q the probability of failure, q=0.16.

The probability that none of the systems detect the theft is

P(0)=q^4=0.16^4=0.00065536

Thus, the probability that at least one of the systems detect the theft is

P(x\geq1)=1-P(0)=1-0.00065536=0.9993

That means a 99.93%
