Answer:

99% confidence interval for the given specimen is [3.4125 , 3.4155].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a laboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation (sigma) or 0.001 g in repeated weighing. Scale readings in repeated weighing are Normally distributed with mean equal to the true weight of the specimen.

Three weighing of a specimen on this scale give 3.412, 3.416, and 3.414 g.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the true mean specimen is given by;

        P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean weighing of specimen = \frac{3.412+3.416+3.414}{3} = 3.414 g

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 0.001 g

            n = sample of specimen = 3

            \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used z statistics because we know about population standard deviation (sigma).</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.5758 < N(0,1) < 2.5758) = 0.99  {As the critical value of z at 0.5% level

                                                            of significance are -2.5758 & 2.5758}

P(-2.5758 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.5758) = 0.99

P( -2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

P( \bar X-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                             = [ 3.414-2.5758 \times {\frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3} } } , 3.414+2.5758 \times {\frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3} } } ]

                                             = [3.4125 , 3.4155]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for this specimen is [3.4125 , 3.4155].

Iteru [2.4K]

The speed is the ratio between the distance and the time:

s=\frac{d}{t}

Data:

d=6343miles

t=9h

s=\frac{6343\text{miles}}{9h}=704.77\frac{miles}{h}Then, the plane traveled at a speed of 704.77 miles per hour.

If all 3 angles of a Triangle MUST equal 180°, then we know that we use the equation (for this triangle) to find the angle measurements as (180-90)/2 which means we are dividing 90/2 which is 45° for each angle. But these angles are different measures, so we have to guess upon this and say that YOUR ANSWER IS D
