In a random sample of 7 residents of the state of California, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 1.5 pounds with a s

tandard deviation of 0.58 pounds. Determine the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of California. 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:

CI(99%) = ( 0.93 , 2.07)

Therefore at 99% confidence interval (a,b) = ( 0.93 , 2.07)

Critical value z(at 99% confidence) = z(0.005) = 2.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean gain x = 1.5

Standard deviation r = 0.58

Number of samples n = 7

Confidence interval = 99%

Critical value z(at 99% confidence) = z((1-0.99)/2)

z(0.005) = 2.58

Substituting the values we have;

1.5+/-2.58(0.58/√7)

1.5+/-2.58(0.2192)

1.5+/-0.565536

1.5+/-0.57

= ( 0.93 , 2.07)

Therefore at 99% confidence interval (a,b) = ( 0.93 , 2.07)

Differentiate Functions of Other Bases In Exercise, find the derivative of the function.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

\dfrac{dy}{dx} =\dfrac{2 x + 6}{ \log{\left (10 \right )}\left(x^{2} + 6 x\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

given

y = \log_{10}{(x^2+6x)}

using the property of log \log_ab=\frac{log_cb}{log_ca}, and if c =e,\log_ab=\frac{ln{b}}{ln{a}}, we can rewrite our function as:

y = \dfrac{\ln{\left (x^{2} + 6 x \right )}}{\ln{\left (10 \right )}}

now we can easily differentiate:

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{\ln{10}}\left(\dfrac{d}{dx}(\ln{(x^{2} + 6x)})\right)

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{\ln{10}}\left(\dfrac{2x+6}{x^{2} + 6x}\right)

\dfrac{dy}{dx} =\dfrac{2 x + 6}{ \log{\left (10 \right )}\left(x^{2} + 6 x\right)}

This is our answer!

My brain stopped. I need help
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x = 99°

y = 91°

Step-by-step explanation:

For Cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the opposite angles = 180°

Let's find x :-

x + 81° = 180°

x = 180 - 81

x = 99°

Let's find y :-

y + 89° = 180°

y = 180 - 89

y = 91°

Hope this helps you !
