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).

Sophie [7]

Given :

Emily sells erasers for $2 per package and pencils for $5 per package. she sells 220 total packages and earns $695.

To Find :

The number of packages of erasers and pencils that were sold .

Solution :

Let, number of erasers are x and pencils are y.

So, x + y = 220    ....1

Also, 2x + 5y = 695   ....2

Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :

2(220-y)+5y = 695\\\\440 - 2y + 5y = 695\\\\3y = 255\\\\y=85

x = 220 - 85 = 135

Therefore, the number of packages of erasers and pencils that were sold are 135 and 85 respectively.

Hence, this is the required solution.
