Grandma​ Gertrude's Chocolates, a family owned​ business, has an opportunity to supply its product for distribution through a la

rge coffee house chain.​ However, the coffee house chain has certain specifications regarding cacao content as it wishes to advertise the health benefits​ (antioxidants) of the chocolate products it sells. In order to determine the mean percentage of cacao in its dark chocolate​ products, quality inspectors sample 36 pieces. They find a sample mean of​ 60% with a standard deviation of​ 8%. What is the correct value of t to construct a​ 90% confidence interval for the true mean percentage of​ cacao? (Round to the nearest thousandth.)
Select Answer:
A. (0.577, 0.623)
B. (0.539, 0.561)
C. (0.527, 0.573)
D. (0.589, 0.611)

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Given : Sample size : n = 36

Significance level for 90% confidence : \alpha: 1-0.9=0.1

Sample mean : \overline{x}=0.60

Standard deviation : \sigma=0.08

By using standard normal table for t-values,

Critical t-value : t_{(n-1, \alpha/2)}=t_{(35,\ 0.05)}=1.690

Thus, the correct value of t to construct a​ 90% confidence interval for the true mean percentage of​ cacao : t_{(35,\ 0.05)}=1.690

Confidence interval for population mean :

\overline{x}\pm t_{(n-1, \alpha/2)}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=0.60\pm(1.69)\dfrac{0.08}{\sqrt{36}}\\\\=0.60\pm0.0225333333333\\\\\approx0.60\pm0.023\\\\=(0.60-0.023,\ 0.60+0.023)=(0.577,\ 0.623)

Hence, A is the correct answer .

Pls help me .question no 14
Alex_Xolod [135]

Question 14, Part (i)

Focus on quadrilateral ABCD. The interior angles add to 360 (this is true for any quadrilateral), so,

A+B+C+D = 360

A+90+C+90 = 360

A+C+180 = 360

A+C = 360-180

A+C = 180

Since angles A and C add to 180, this shows they are supplementary. This is the same as saying angles 2 and 3 are supplementary.

==================================================

Question 14, Part (ii)

Let

x = measure of angle 1

y = measure of angle 2

z = measure of angle 3

Back in part (i) above, we showed that y + z = 180

Note that angles 1 and 2 are adjacent to form a straight line, so we can say

x+y = 180

-------

We have the two equations x+y = 180 and y+z = 180 to form this system of equations

\begin{cases}x+y = 180\\y+z = 180\end{cases}

Which is really the same as this system

\begin{cases}x+y+0 = 180\\0+y+z = 180\end{cases}

The 0s help align the y terms up. Subtracting straight down leads to the equation x-z = 0 and we can solve to get x = z. Therefore showing that angle 1 and angle 3 are congruent. We could also use the substitution rule to end up with x = z as well.
