The question also states that Lucy has a winning probability of 1/50, which means that she has 1 chance of winning if the total runners were 50. Therefore, there are 49 runners who may be faster than her.

The fact that Lucy is the 50th slowest runner, means that starting from the slowest she is in 50th position, therefore there are 49 runners that are slower than her.

The total number of runners will be the sum of those faster than Lucy, those slower than Lucy and Lucy:
49 + 49 + 1 = 99

There are 99 runners in Lucy's school.

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{15}{20}=\dfrac{21}{28}

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4}

Hence they are similar

  • <A=<H
  • And ratio of sides are same

Hence both triangles are similar by SAS property

To help consumers assess the risks they are​ taking, the Food and Drug Administration​ (FDA) publishes the amount of nicotine fo
Anni [7]

Answer:

The 90​% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is between 20.3 milligrams and 30.3 milligrams.

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 = 9 - 1 = 8

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 8 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.8595

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 1.8595*2.7 = 5

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 25.3 - 5 = 20.3 milligrams

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 25.3 + 5 = 30.3 milligrams.

The 90​% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is between 20.3 milligrams and 30.3 milligrams.
