Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean (calorie count of the snacks bars) is (130.32, 161.68).

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>"A random sample of a specific brand of snack bar is tested for calorie count, with the following results: </em><em>149, 145,140,160,149,153,131,134,153</em><em>. Assume the population standard deviation is </em><em>σ=24</em><em> and that the population is approximately normal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the calorie count of the snack bars."</em>

We start by calculating the mean of the sample:

M=\dfrac{1}{9}\sum_{i=1}^{9}(149+145+140+160+149+153+131+134+153)\\\\\\ M=\dfrac{1314}{9}=146

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is know and is σ=24.

The sample mean is M=146.

The sample size is N=9.

As σ is known, the standard error of the mean (σM) is calculated as: \sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{24}{\sqrt{9}}=\dfrac{24}{3}=8

The z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_M=1.96 \cdot 8=15.68

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 146-15.68=130.32\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 146+15.68=161.68

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is (130.32, 161.68).

If s(x) = x-7 and f(x) = 4x? – X+3, which expression is equivalent to (tos)(x)?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

4(x-7)^2-(x-7)+3 (Assuming t is f)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s(x)=x-7 and t(x)=4x^2-x+3 .

(t o s)(x)=t(s(x))=t(x-7)

Before I continue this means replace the orginal x in t with x-7.

This will then give you

4(x-7)^2-(x-7)+3

You will need 50% of a packet of pasta to make a meal for 4 people. How
skelet666 [1.2K]

you would use 1.5 packets, but that requires 2 packets.

1 packet in total would feed 8 people, and half of another would feed an extra 4. 4+8 = 12.

Given ABC find the values of x and y. In your final answer, include all of your calculations.
kow [346]

So with this, we will be using proportions. To solve for x, our proportion will be \frac{x}{6} =\frac{6}{x-9}


Firstly, cross-multiply: x^2-9x=36


Next, subtract 36 on both sides: x^2-9x-36=0


Next, replace -9x with 3x-12x x^2+3x-12x-36=0


Next, factor x^2+3x and -12x-36 separately: x(x+3)-12(x+3)=0 . After, rewrite it as (x-12)(x+3)=0


Next, solve for x separately in the two parentheses:

x-12=0\\ x=12

x+3=0\\ x=-3


Since we can't have a negative length, x = 12.



To solve for y, our proportion will be \frac{y}{9} =\frac{12}{y}


Firstly, cross-multiply: y^2=108


Next, just square root each side, and your answer will be (rounded to hundredths) y=10.39



In short, x = 12 and y = 10.39.
