A quality control specialist for a restaurant chain takes a random sample of size 14 to check the amount of soda served in the 1

6 oz. serving size. The sample mean is 13.60 with a sample standard deviation of 1.51. Assume the underlying population is normally distributed. Find the 95% confidence interval for the true population mean for the amount of soda served.

Answer:

(12.728,14.472)

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sample size is small and population standard deviation is unknown so we use t-distribution for computing confidence interval for true population mean. Also, assumption for normality is satisfied for using t-distribution.

The 95% confidence interval for true population mean can be computed as:

$xbar-t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} (n-1)}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )$

where mew=μ represents true population mean.

We are given that

xbar=13.6, s=1.51 and n=14.

$t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} (n-1)}=t_{\frac{\0.05}{2} (14-1)}=t_{0.025 (13)}=2.16$

$13.6-2.16(\frac{1.51}{\sqrt{14} } )$

$13.6-2.16(0.4036 )$

$13.60-0.8717$

$12.728$ (rounded to three decimal places).

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for true population mean for the amount of soda served is (12.728,14.472).

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval = (12.79, 14.41)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval expresses that the true mean lies within the calculated range with a particular level of confidence.

To obtain the estimate of the 95% confidence interval of the population, we'll need the standard error

Upper limit of the confidence interval = (sample mean) + (standard error)

Lower limit of the confidence interval = (Sample mean) - (standard error)

Standard error of the sample mean = (critical value) × (standard deviation of the sample mean)

(Standard deviation of the sample mean) = (standard deviation)/√n

where n = sample size = 14

(Standard deviation of the sample mean) = (1.55/√n) = (1.55/√14) = 0.4143

Critical value for 95% confidence interval = z = 1.96 (z-score from the tables)

Standard error of the sample mean = 1.96 × 0.4143 = 0.81

Upper limit of the confidence interval = (sample mean) + (standard error) = 13.60 + 0.81 = 14.41

Lower limit of the confidence interval = (Sample mean) - (standard error) = 13.60 - 0.81 = 12.79

The 95% confidence interval = (12.79, 14.41)

Hope this Helps!!!

Dale works at a mattress store, and makes a salary plus commission. He has a $500 weekly salary and makes a 5% commission for sa

Anni [7]

Answer:

1. $\( f\circ g(x)=0.05x-150$

2. $\( g\circ f(x)=0.05x-3000$

3. The first one represents Dale's commission

Explanation:

1. The composition of the function

$f\circ g(x)=f(g(x))$

means that you first apply the function g(x) and then f(x) on the output of g(x).

That is:

f(x) = 0.05x
g(x) = x - 3000

$f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)$

$f(g(x))=0.05x-150$

2. The composition of the function

$g\circ f(x)=g(f(x))$

means that you first apply the function f(x) and then g(x) on the output of f(x).

That is:

$g(f(x))=((0.05x)-3000)=0.05x-3000$

3. Which one represents Dale's commission

To calculate Dales's commision you must subtract $3,000 from the sales, to find the sales over $3000. That is: x - 3,000, which is the function g(x).

Therefore, you first use g(x).

Then, you must multiply the output of g(x) by 0.05 to find the 5% of the sales over $3,000. That is: 0.05(g((x)) = 0.05(x - 3000) = 0.05x - 150.

Therefore, the composition that represents Dale's commission is the first one:

$f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)$

$f(g(x))=0.05x-150$

PLEASE HELP ME I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!

1. One way to approach this is to convert the magnitude and direction of each force to rectangular coordinates.

... first force = 90(cos(30°), sin(30°)) = (77.94, 45.00)

... second force = 50(cos(160°), sin(160°)) = (-46.98, 17.10)

Then their sum is

... resultant force = first force + second force = (30.96, 62.10)

The magnitude is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

... resultant magnitude = √(30.96^2 + 62.10^2)

... ... = √(958.52+3856.41) = √4814.93

... ... = 69.39

The resultant direction can be found using the definition of the tangent function.

... tan(α) = 62.10/30.96 = 2.01

... α = arctan(2.01) = 63.55°

The (magnitude, direction) of the resultant force are (69.39, 63.55°).

_____

(Note that rounding introduced an error of 0.05° in the direction.)

2. Using DeMoivre's theorem, the magnitude of the 4th root is the 4th root of the magnitude, and the angle of the 4th root is 1/4 of the angle (and its aliases).

... fourth root = 256^(1/4)∠((240°+k*360°)/4) = 4∠(60°+k*90°) . . . . k=0, 1, 2, 3
