The mean caloric intake of an adult male is 2800 with a standard deviation of 115. To verify this information, a sample of 25 me

n are selected and determined to have a mean caloric intake of 2950. Determine the 98% confidence interval for mean caloric intake of an adult male. Solution: Since n < 30, a t-test must be used. 2950 – qt(1.98/2,24)*115/sqrt(25) 2950 + qt(1.98/2,24)*115/sqrt(25) [2892.68, 3007.32] What is wrong with this solution?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would use the t- distribution.

From the information given,

Mean, μ = 2950

Standard deviation, σ = 115

number of sample, n = 25

Degree of freedom, (df) = 25 - 1 = 24

Alpha level,α = (1 - confidence level)/2

α = (1 - 0.98)/2 = 0.01

We will look at the t distribution table for values corresponding to (df) = 24 and α = 0.01

The corresponding z score is 2.492

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

2950 ± 2.492 × 115/√25

= 2950 ± 2.492 × 23

= 2950 ± 57.316

The lower end of the confidence interval is 2950 - 57.316 =2892.68

The upper end of the confidence interval is 2950 + 57.316 = 3007.32

The solution is correct.

Joni has a circular garden with a diameter of 14 1/2 feet if she uses 2 teaspoons of fertilizer for every 25 square feet of gard
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

13.20 teaspoon of fertiliser needed for entire garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the garden = 14.50 ft

Radius of the garden = 7.25 ft

Area

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]\pi=3.14[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]A=3.14 \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

Hence

[tex]A=165.046[/text]

Area is 165.046 Sq Ft

For 25 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 2 tea spoon

For 1 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2}{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2 \times 165.046 }{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 13.20 tea spoon
