A statistics teacher started class one day by drawing the names of 10 students out of a hat and asked them to do as many pushups

as they could. The 10 randomly selected students averaged 15 pushups per person with a standard deviation of 9 pushups.Suppose the distribution of the population of number of pushups that can be done is approximately normal. The 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of pushups that can be done is
a. 13.02 to 16.98.
b. 8.56 to 21.40.
c. 11.31 to 18.55.
d. 5.75 to 24.25.

Answer:  b. 8.56 to 21.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  \mu be the  mean number of pushups that can be done.

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 10

Degree of freedom = n-1=9

Sample mean : \overline{x}=15

Sample standard deviation : s=9

Significance level : α=1-0.95=0.05

From t- distribution table ,

Critical two -tailed t-value for α=0.05 and df = 9 is

t_{\alpha/2, 9}=t_{0.025,9}=2.2622

Confidence interval for \mu is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm t*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

=15\pm (2.2622)\dfrac{9}{\sqrt{10}}\\\\\approx 15\pm 6.44=(15-6.44,\ 15+6.44)\\\\=(8.56,\ 21.44)

Hence, the  95% confidence interval for the true mean number of pushups that can be done is 8.56 to 21.44.

Sarah would like to make a 6 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of a mixture that is 80%
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:  

<em>a.  The system of equations that models the situation is....</em>

<em>     0.80x+0.50y=3.60\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40</em>

<em>b.  The solution to the system:  x = 2 and y = 4 </em>

<em>The amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50              mixture is 4 pounds.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the amount of 80/20 mixture is  x pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is  y pounds.

So, the amount of peanuts in 80/20 mixture = 0.80x pound and the amount of almonds in 80/20 mixture =0.20x pound.

And the amount of peanuts in 50/50 mixture =0.50y pound and the amount of almonds in 50/50 mixture =0.50y pound.

Now, Sarah would like to make a 6 pounds nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

So, the amount of peanuts in that mixture =(6\times 0.60)=3.60 pounds

and the amount of almonds in that mixture =(6 \times 0.40)= 2.40 pounds.

So, the system of equations will be.........

0.80x+0.50y=3.60 ...................(1)\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40...................(2)

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we will get.....

(0.80x+0.50y)-(0.20x+0.50y)=3.60-2.40\\ \\ 0.60x=1.20\\ \\ x= \frac{1.20}{0.60}=2

Now, plugging this x=2 into equation (1), we will get......

0.80(2)+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 1.60+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 0.50y=3.60-1.60=2\\ \\ y=\frac{2}{0.50}=4

So, the amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.
