1) Write out what you know
       Blue: 5/8
       Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
       Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
       You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
       Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
       Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

The average wall thickness of 25 panes of glass is 4.05 mm. The standard deviation of the thickness of the 25 panes is measured
mina [271]

Answer:

u => 4,028

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, we have the following formula:

u => m - t (alpha, n-1) * [sd / (n) ^ (1/2)]

where m is the mean.

where sd is the standard deviation.

where n is the sample size.

t is a parameter that depends on the confidence interval and the sample size.

alpha = 1 - ci

ci = 90% = 0.9

Therefore, alpha = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1.

n - 1 = 25 - 1 = 24

So it would come being t (0.1, 24), if we look in the table, which I will attach the value of t is equal to 1.318.

We know the rest of the values, m = 4.05; sd = 0.08; n = 25

u => 4.05 - 1,318 * [0.08 / (25) ^ (1/2)]

u => 4.028

Which means that the interval with a 90% confidence of the wall thickness measurement is:

u => 4.028
