A fast-food restaurant has an automated beverage machine that dispenses a set amount of liquid based on a size setting. Suppose

that on the medium setting, the standard deviation of the amounts dispensed is Ï=17 mL . The manager of the restaurant plans on taking a sample of n medium drinks to construct 99\% percent confidence interval for the mean amount of liquid dispensed. They want the margin of error to be no more 10 mL

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.58(17)}{10})^2 =19.24 \approx 20

So the answer for this case would be n=20 rounded up to the nearest integer would be the sample required to obatin a margin of erros or 10 ml at 99% of confidence

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma =17 represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =10 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.005;0;1)", and we got z_{\alpha/2}=2.58, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.58(17)}{10})^2 =19.24 \approx 20

So the answer for this case would be n=20 rounded up to the nearest integer would be the sample required to obatin a margin of erros or 10 ml at 99% of confidence

Factor the polynomial below. 9x^2-1 A. (-1)(9x-1) B. (3x-1)(3x-1) C. (3x-1)(3x+1) D. (x-1)(9x+1)
telo118 [61]

Answer:

(3x-1) (3x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-1

Rewriting as

(3x)^2 - 1^2

This is the difference of squares

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

(3x-1) (3x+1)

Can someone help me with this problem? Its due today plz i need help! I will give brainlist if it is right!
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

A (-4,0), B (0,3) and C (-6,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates for A are (-4,-3) B (0,0) and C (-6,2)

From there just add 3 to all theY values

The coordinates of the translated triangle would be A (-4,0), B (0,3) and C (-6,5)

Hope that helps!

Please help with math question!!
mihalych1998 [28]
The answer to this problem is C.
Here's why:
The area of a triangle = 1/2 * (base) * (height) (Note: a triangle is half of a rectangle, and rectangles have Area = (base) * (height)) 

<span>Because the base of ΔAED is half of ΔACB (2 = (1/2) * 4), and height of ΔAED is half of ΔACB (3 = (1/2) * 6), we know that the area of ΔAED will be half of ΔAED. 
</span>
So, it's C. I am sure =)
If it helped you, please mark me brainliest! =D
Have a nice day!
