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).

stepan [7]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the surface area of the box formular : S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

When l : length. w: with and h: hight

As we often considered strange, you can always multiply a whole number by a whole number and always get a whole number, and there is no decimal number about the 3 dementions like the boxes you have been describing so far. So It is impossible.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The profits for firma A and B will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oligopoly by definition "is a market structure with a small number of firms, none of which can keep the others from having significant influence. The concentration ratio measures the market share of the largest firms".

If the costs remain the same for both companies and both firms decrease the prices then we will have a decrease of profits, we can see this on the figure attached.

We have an equilibrium price (let's assume X) and when we decrease a price and we have the same level of output the area below the curve would be lower and then we will have less profits for both companies.
