A researcher examines 27 sedimentary samples for bromide concentration. The mean bromide concentration for the sample data is 0.

383 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.0209. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the population mean bromide concentration. 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:

Critical value: z = 1.645

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean bromide concentration is (0.376, 0.39).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645. This value of z is the critical value

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*\frac{0.0209}{\sqrt{27}} = 0.0066

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.383 - 0.0066 = 0.376 cc/cubic meter

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 0.383 + 0.0066 = 0.39 cc/cubic meter

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean bromide concentration is (0.376, 0.39).

From 12,000 graphing calculators produced by a​ manufacturer, an inspector selects a random sample of 550 calculators and finds
maria [59]

Answer:

131

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportion,

If Out of 550 calculators = 6 are defective,

Then out of 12000 calculators = ? are defective

\frac{12000 calculators}{550calculators} * 6

= 21.8 * 6

= 130.8 ≈ 131

∴ Approximately 131 calculators are defective

Draw clearly the graph of the linear equation. y=1/2x, where x= (-4 -2, 0, 2, 4)​
aniked [119]

Answer:

(in attachment)

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the points by inputting the x-values into the equation to solve for the y-values, then connecting the plotted points to create the line.

When x=-4

y=1/2(-4)

y=-2

(-4,-2)

Repeat for all values.
