A marketing research company desires to know the mean consumption of meat per week among males over age 50. A sample of 217 male

s over age 50 was drawn and the mean meat consumption was 3.4 pounds. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 0.5 pounds. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among males over age 5050. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answer: (3.3, 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the confidence interval is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z^* \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

, where \overline{x} = sample mean.

z* = critical value.

\sigma = Population standard deviation.

n= Sample size.

As per given , we have

\overline{x}=3.4

\sigma=0.5

n= 217

By using z-table , the critical value for 95% confidence level : z* = 1.96

Now, the  95% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among males over age 50 will be :

3.4\pm (1.96) \dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{217}}

3.4\pm (1.96) \dfrac{0.5}{14.73091986}

3.4\pm (1.96) 0.0339422

3.4\pm 0.066526712\approx3.4\pm 0.1=(3.4-0.1,\ 3.4+0.1)=(3.3,\ 3.5)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among males over age 50 =(3.3, 3.5)

Use stoke's theorem to evaluate∬m(∇×f)⋅ds where m is the hemisphere x^2+y^2+z^2=9, x≥0, with the normal in the direction of the
ludmilkaskok [199]
By Stokes' theorem,

\displaystyle\int_{\partial\mathcal M}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=\iint_{\mathcal M}\nabla\times\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S

where \mathcal C is the circular boundary of the hemisphere \mathcal M in the y-z plane. We can parameterize the boundary via the "standard" choice of polar coordinates, setting

\mathbf r(t)=\langle 0,3\cos t,3\sin t\rangle

where 0\le t\le2\pi. Then the line integral is

\displaystyle\int_{\mathcal C}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=\int_{t=0}^{t=2\pi}\mathbf f(x(t),y(t),z(t))\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\langle x(t),y(t),z(t)\rangle\,\mathrm dt
=\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\langle0,0,3\cos t\rangle\cdot\langle0,-3\sin t,3\cos t\rangle\,\mathrm dt=9\int_0^{2\pi}\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt=9\pi

We can check this result by evaluating the equivalent surface integral. We have

\nabla\times\mathbf f=\langle1,0,0\rangle

and we can parameterize \mathcal M by

\mathbf s(u,v)=\langle3\cos v,3\cos u\sin v,3\sin u\sin v\rangle

so that

\mathrm d\mathbf S=(\mathbf s_v\times\mathbf s_u)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\langle9\cos v\sin v,9\cos u\sin^2v,9\sin u\sin^2v\rangle\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

where 0\le v\le\dfrac\pi2 and 0\le u\le2\pi. Then,

\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal M}\nabla\times\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi/2}\int_{u=0}^{u=2\pi}9\cos v\sin v\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=9\pi

as expected.

A cylinder and a cone have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 639 ft ^3. what is the volume of the cone?
AURORKA [14]

The volume of the cone is: A. 213 ft³.

<h3>Volume of a Cylinder and a Cone</h3>
  • Volume of cylinder = πr²h.
  • Volume of cone = ⅓πr²h.

Given:

radius and height of both the cylinder and the cone are equal.

Volume of Cylinder = 639 ft³

Therefore:

πr²h = ⅓πr²h

This means that volume of cone would be ⅓ of the volume of the cylinder.

Volume of cone = ⅓(639) = 213 ft³

Therefore, the volume of the cone is: A. 213 ft³.
