The formula for the confidence interval (CI) is
CI = m ± z*d/sqrt(n)
where
CI = confidence interval
m = mean
z = z value in standard normal table for desired confidence
n = number of samples
Since we want a 95% confidence interval, we need to divide that in half to get
95/2 = 47.5
Looking up 0.475 in a standard normal table gives us a z value of 1.96
Since we want the margin of error to be ± 0.0001, we want the expression ± z*d/sqrt(n) to also be ± 0.0001. And to simplify things, we can omit the ± and use the formula
0.0001 = z*d/sqrt(n)
Substitute the value z that we looked up, and get
0.0001 = 1.96*d/sqrt(n)
Substitute the standard deviation that we were given and
0.0001 = 1.96*0.001/sqrt(n)
0.0001 = 0.00196/sqrt(n)
Solve for n
0.0001*sqrt(n) = 0.00196
sqrt(n) = 19.6
n = 4.427188724
Since you can't have a fractional value for n, then n should be at least 5 for a 95% confidence interval that the measured mean is within 0.0001 grams of the correct mass.</span>
Answer:
259/30 or 8 19/30 depending on what format your teacher wants the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
First we can turn both mixed fractions into improper fractions and to do that we multiply the whole number by the denominator and that add that to the top number. So for 3 4/5 we would multiply 3 and 5 and than add 4 getting us to 19/5 doing the same to 4 5/6 gets us to 29/6. Now in order to add fractions we need to get a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30 so we will multiply each fraction by whatever number will give us 30 in the denomiator. for 19/5 that number is 6 so our new fraction is 114/30 and for 29/6 that number is 5 so our new number is 145/30. Now we just add the numerators and simplify. 114/30+145/30=259/30
I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
He used 11/12 of sugar.
(1) I multiplied the factors and denominators by eachothers denominators
(2) I ended up with the two converted fractions: 8/12 and 3/12. The reason for this step is because if the two fractions have the smae denominator, it helps make it easier to add the fraction.
(3) I added the fractions, getting the sum of 11/12
Good question!
