Answer:

4 backpacks

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, set up a ratio.

Pounds of goods : Number of backpacks

We know that one backpack can carry ten pounds of goods.

10 : 1

We need to find how many backpacks are needed to carry 35 pounds of goods.

Pounds of goods : Number of backpacks

10 : 1

35 : ?

To figure this out, we need to find how we got from 10 pounds to 35 pounds.

10 : 1

35 : ?

Well, to get from 10 to 35, you must multiply by 3.5

10 x 3.5 = 35

Whatever you do to one side of the ratio, do to the other side.

Pounds of goods : Number of backpacks

10 : 1

x3.5 x3.5

35 : 3.5

Round 3.5 to 4 because you wouldn't want half of a backpack!

Therefore, you will need 4 backpacks to carry 35 pounds of goods.

A random sample of 10 parking meters in a beach community showed the following incomes for a day. Assume the incomes are normall

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: (2.54,6.86)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A random sample of 10 parking meters in a beach community showed the following incomes for a day.

We assume the incomes are normally distributed.

Mean income : $\mu=\dfrac{\sum^{10}_{i=1}x_i}{n}=\dfrac{47}{10}=4.7$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum^{10}_{i=1}{(x_i-\mu)^2}}{n}}$

$=\sqrt{\dfrac{(1.1)^2+(0.2)^2+(1.9)^2+(1.6)^2+(2.1)^2+(0.5)^2+(2.05)^2+(0.45)^2+(3.3)^2+(1.7)^2}{10}}$

$=\dfrac{30.265}{10}=3.0265$

The confidence interval for the population mean (for sample size <30) is given by :-

$\mu\ \pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{9,0.025}=2.262$

We assume that the population is normally distributed.

Now, the 95% confidence interval for the true mean will be :-

$4.7\ \pm\ 2.262\times\dfrac{3.0265}{\sqrt{10}} \\\\\approx4.7\pm2.16=(4.7-2.16\ ,\ 4.7+2.16)=(2.54,\ 6.86)$

Hence, 95% confidence interval for the true mean= (2.54,6.86)
