A random sample of 16 one-kilogram sugar packets is obtained and the actual weights of the packets are measured. The sample mean

is x 1.053  kg, and the sample standard deviation is s 0.058  kg. Assume that the weights are approximately normally distributed. A) Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight.

Answer:

The 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight is between 0.882 kg and 1.224 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are in posession of the sample's standard deviation, so we use the student's t-distribution to find the confidence interval.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 16 - 1 = 15

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 35 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.905([tex]t_{995}). So we have T = 2.9467

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.9467*0.058 = 0.171

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.053 - 0.171 = 0.882kg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.053 + 0.171 = 1.224 kg.

The 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight is between 0.882 kg and 1.224 kg.

Sandra wants to rent a car to take a trip and has a budget of $90. There is a fixed rental fee of $30 and a daily fee of $10. Wr
nikdorinn [45]

Option B is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

Maximum budget Sandra has for the trip is $90

Fixed rental fee = $30

Daily fee = $10

Step 2 :

Let x be the number of the days for which Sandra can go for the trip

If the daily fee is $10, the cost for x number of days would be 10*x

the fixed fee is $30

So the equation is represent the cost of the trip is 30 + 10 x

given that the maximum budget is $90, the above cost should always be less $90

So the required inequality is 30 + 10x ≤ 90

Option B is the correct answer

Please help!!!! I don’t understand how to figure it out
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

(sin x)^2*(sec x) is positive in QII

Step-by-step explanation:

(sin x)^2 is always 0 or positive.  Here x lies in QII.

sec x is positive when the adjacent side is positive and negative when the adjacent side is negative.  In QII the adjacent side is positive.

In summary, (sin x)^2*(sec x) is positive in QII

A furniture store is having a sale on sofas and you're going to buy one. The advertisers know that buyers get to the store and t
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$290

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that 1 out of 5 buyers change to a more expensive sofa than the one in the sale advertisement.

Now we are told that the advertised sofa is $250 and the more expensive sofa is $450.

Thus;

P(x) for expensive sofa = 1/5

P(x) for sofa in sale advertisement = 4/5

Thus, expected value is;

E(X) = (1/5)450 + (4/5)250

E(x) = 90 + 200

E(x) = $290
