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 .

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

\sin L = 0.60

tan\ N = 1.33

\cos L = 0.80

\sin N = 0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

From the attachment, we have:

MN = 6

LN = 10

First, we need to calculate length LM,

Using Pythagoras theorem:

LN^2 = MN^2 + LM^2

10^2 = 6^2 + LM^2

100 = 36 + LM^2

Collect Like Terms

LM^2 = 100 - 36

LM^2 = 64

LM = 8

Solving (a): \sin L

\sin L = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

\sin L = \frac{MN}{LN}

Substitute values for MN and LN

\sin L = \frac{6}{10}

\sin L = 0.60

Solving (b): tan\ N

tan\ N = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

tan\ N = \frac{LM}{MN}

Substitute values for LM and MN

tan\ N = \frac{8}{6}

tan\ N = 1.33

Solving (c): \cos L

\cos L = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}

\cos L = \frac{LM}{LN}

Substitute values for LN and LM

\cos L = \frac{8}{10}

\cos L = 0.80

Solving (d): \sin N

\sin N = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

\sin N = \frac{LM}{LN}

Substitute values for LM and LN

\sin N = \frac{8}{10}

\sin N = 0.80

Answer:

Choice 1

Step-by-step explanation:

m^2 +n^2=13^2

m^2=13^2-n^2

n^2=13^2-m^2

Both m & n =(13 x sq rt 2)/2

To put it another way:

m=(sq rt 2)/2 x 13

n=(sq rt 2)/2 x 13
