Correct question is;

The U.S. Dairy Industry wants to estimate the mean yearly milk consumption. A sample of 21 people reveals the mean yearly consumption to be 74 gallons with a standard deviation of 16 gallons.

a. What is the value of the population mean? What is the best estimate of this value?

b. Explain why we need to use the t distribution. What assumption do you need to make?

c. For a 90 percent confidence interval, what is the value of t?

d. Develop the 90 percent confidence interval for the population mean.

e. Would it be reasonable to conclude that the population mean is 68 gallons?

Answer:

A) Best estimate = 74 gallons

B) because the population standard deviation is unknown. The assumption we will make is that the population follows the normal distribution.

C) t = 1.725

D) 90% confidence interval for the population mean is (67.9772, 80.0228) gallons

E) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Sample mean; x' = 74

Sample population; n = 21

Yearly Standard deviation; s = 16

A) We are not given the population mean.

So the closest estimate to the population mean would be the sample mean which is 74.

B) We are not given the population standard deviation and as such we can't use normal distribution. So what is used when population standard deviation is not known is called t - distribution table. The assumption we will make is that the population follows the normal distribution.

C) At confidence interval of 90% and DF = n - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20

From t-tables, the t = 1.725

D) Formula for the confidence interval is;

x' ± t(s/√n) = 74 ± 1.725(16/√21) = 74 ± 6.0228 = 67.9772 or 80.0228

Thus 90% confidence interval for the population mean is (67.9772, 80.0228) gallons

E) 68 gallons lies within the range of the confidence interval, thus we can say that "Yes, it is reasonable"

8+(14+6) FIND EASIER EXPLAIN WHY
alexandr1967 [171]

Hi there and welcome to Brainly!


The answer to 8+(14+6) = 28. The reason for this is you add what is in parenthesis first then you add the number outside of the parenthesis. This follows the PEMDAS rule which is called the order of operations. PEMDAS is an acronym which stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction, this is the order you should follow when solving any problem.


If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask them.

2 1/2r + 1 + 2r = 9 1/10
GalinKa [24]

This should help you here are the steps of your problem :)


2*(1/2)*r+2*r+1 = 9*(1/10) // - 9*(1/10)


2*(1/2)*r+2*r-(9*(1/10))+1 = 0


2*(1/2)*r+2*r-9/10+1 = 0


3*r+1/10 = 0 // - 1/10


3*r = -1/10 // : 3


r = -1/10/3


r = -1/30


r = -1/30


So your answer would be 1/30

s. Blake spent 11 hours making gift baskets for families. Each gift basket took 1/5 hours to make. How many gift baskets did Ms.
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 gift takes 1/5 an hour, then 5 gifts would take one hour. So if she makes 5 gifts an hour for 11 hours she would make 55 gifts in 11 hours.
