How much salt is in a mixture containing 10 gal of an 11% salt solution and 6 gal of a 7% salt solution

1 answer:

4 0

In a 10 gal of an 11% salt solution,

11% of 10 gal are sal.

11% *10 gal=(11/100)*10 gal =0.11*10 gal = 0.1 gal is salt.

Similarly, 0.07*6 gal= 0.42 gal is salt of the 6 gal in the second solution.

The mixture is 10 gal +6 gal = 16 gal, and contains a total of

0.1 gal +0.42 gal = 0.52 gal of salt.

0.52 = x% of 16

0.52=x%*16

x=(0.52/16)*100=0.0325*100=3.25

Answer: there is 0.52 gal of salt in the mixture, that is 3.25%

Answer: Correct critical value = 2.2622

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean when population standard deviation is unknown:

$\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ , where $\overline{x}$ = sample mean, n= sample size, s= sample standard deviation, $t_{\alpha/2}$ = two-tailed t value.

As per given: n= 10

degree of freedom : df = n-1=9

$\overline{x}=242.6\\\\s=73.33\\\\\alpha=5\%=0.05$

Critical t-value : $t_{\alpha/2,df}=t_{0.05/2,9}=t_{0.025,9}=2.2622$

So, the 95 percent confidence interval estimate for the mean :

$242.6\pm (2.2622)\dfrac{73.33}{\sqrt{10}}\\\\=242.6\pm (2.2622)(23.19)\\\\\approx242.6\pm52.46\\\\=(242.6-52.46,\ 242.6+52.46)\\\\=(190.14,\ 295.06)$
