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 .

mrs. johnson gave a sum of money to her son and daughter in the ratio 5:6. Her daughter received $2400. how muh did Mrs. Johnson
Tresset [83]
To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son.  Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.

So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.

The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
