A polymer is manufactured in a batch chemical process. Viscosity measurements show that it is approximately normally distributed

with a standard deviation of 20. A random sample of 42 batches has a mean viscosity of 759. Construct a 99% confidence interval around the true population mean viscosity.

Answer: (751.05, 766.95)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

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

where \sigma =population standard deviation.

\overline{x}= sample mean

n= sample size

z* = Two-tailed critical z-value.

Given :  \sigma= 20

n= 42

\overline{x}=759

We know that from z-table , the two-tailed critical value for 99% confidence interval : z* =2.576

Now, the 99% confidence interval around the true population mean viscosity :-

759\pm (2.5760)\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{42}}\\\\=759\pm (2.5760)(3.086067)\\\\=759\pm7.9497=(759-7.9497,\ 759+7.9497)\]\\=(751.0503,\ 766.9497)\approx(751.05,\ 766.95)

∴ A 99% confidence interval around the true population mean viscosity : (751.05, 766.95)

Which linear function represent the table?​
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:So, if the graph is a straight line, it is the graph of a linear function. From a table, you can verify a linear function by examining the x and y values. The rate of change for y with respect to x remains constant for a linear function. This rate of change is called the slope.Mar 9, 2011

If a plane can travel 490 miles per hour with the wind and 430 miles per hour against the​ wind, find the speed of the wind and
zavuch27 [327]

let the speed of plane in still air be x and that wind be y

therefore:

x+y=490

x-y=390

next we solve for the values of x and y, first we add the above equations. This will give us:

2x=880

x=880/2

x=440 miles per hour.

substituting the value of x in one of the equations and solving for y we get:

440+y=490

y=490-440

y=50 miles per hour
