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.

3/4 of dreams = 3/4 of 'd'

The expression is \frac{3}{4}d

When d = 28
Number of dreams = \frac{3}{4}(28)= \frac{3*28}{4}=21

Answer: 21 dreams

DochEvi [55]

She paid 80% of the regular price because it was 20% off so...

80% = £40

We want to get to the regular price (100%) so...

100% = £40 x 100/80 = £50

answer: £50
