A data set includes 103 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.1 F and a standard deviation of 0.56 F. Co

Answer:

The 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans is (97.955F, 98.245F).

98.6F is above the upper end of the interval, which means that the sample suggests that the mean body temperature could be lower than 98.6F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is finding the confidence interval

The sample size is 103.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom there are, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 103-1 = 102

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level \alpha and divide by 2. So:

\frac{1-0.99}{2} = \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.005

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 102 and 0.005 in the t-distribution table, we have T = 2.63.

Now, we need to find the standard deviation of the sample. That is:

s = \frac{0.56}{\sqrt{103}} = 0.055

Now, we multiply T and s

M = T*s = 2.63*0.055 = 0.145

For the lower end of the interval, we subtract the mean by M. So 98.1 - 0.145 = 97.955F.

For the upper end of the interval, we add the mean to M. So 98.1 + 0.145 = 98.245F.

The 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans is (97.955F, 98.245F).

98.6F is above the upper end of the interval, which means that the sample suggests that the mean body temperature could be lower than 98.6F.

Hey factory can produce fifth refrigerators in eight hours how many hours would it take to produce 1250 refrigerators
jarptica [38.1K]

Hey, I'm assuming you mean five refrigerators every eight hours. So . . .

1250 divide by 5. Which gives you 250.

Then take that 250 and multiply it by 8, and you have 2000.

So it would take 2000 hrs for a factory, that can produce 5 refrigerators every eight hours to, produce 1250 refrigerators.

Rhe sum of three consecutive ofd numbers is 87. What is the smallest of these numbers?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The smallest of the said odd numbers is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is 3 odd numbers that sums up to 87, the first thing to do is to divide 87 by 3

That is 87/3 = 29, which is an odd number

The nearest odd  numbers to 29 are 27 and 31, and the total of all these three odd numbers is 87

That is 27+29+31 = 87, which are consecutive odd numbers.

The smallest odd number here is therefore 27
