Answer:

a) CI: 1.3

b) CI: 2.5

c) CI: 2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have a sample of size n=10 and a sample mean of x=2.7.

The σ² of the population is known and is σ²=9 or σ=3.

For a CI of 85%, the z-value is 1.44.

Then the lower and upper limits of the CI are:

LL=M-z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =2.7-1.44*\frac{3}{\sqrt{10} }=2.7-1.44*\frac{3}{3.162} =2.7-1.4=1.3\\\\UL=M+z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =2.7+1.4=4.1

The 85% confidence interval for the mean is defined by the values LL=1.3 and UL=4.1.

CI: 1.3

b) In this case, the variance of the population is unknown.

We have to estimate the variance of the population from the variance of the sample.

Sample data:

n = 100

x(mean) = 2.7

s² = 1.1

The CI is defined as

x-t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

The value of t depends of the degrees of freedom and the percentage of confidence.

In this case, the degrees of freedom are n-1=100-1=99 and the CI is of 90%.

We look up in a t-table and the t-value for this conditions is 1.6604.

We can now calculate the CI

LL: x-t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }=2.7-1.6604*\frac{\sqrt{1.1} }{\sqrt{100} } =2.7-0.2=2.5\\\\UL: x+t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }=2.7+0.2=2.9

The 90% confidence interval for the mean is defined by the values LL=2.5 and UL=2.9.

CI: 2.5

c) In this case, the variance of the population is unknown.

We have to estimate the variance of the population from the variance of the sample.

Sample data:

n = 10

x(mean) = 2.7

s² = 1.1

The CI is defined as

x-t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

The value of t depends of the degrees of freedom and the percentage of confidence.

In this case, the degrees of freedom are n-1=10-1=9 and the CI is of 95%.

We look up in a t-table and the t-value for this conditions is 2.2622.

We can now calculate the CI

LL: x-t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }=2.7-2.2622*\frac{\sqrt{1.1} }{\sqrt{10} } =2.7-0.7=2.0\\\\UL: x+t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }=2.7+0.7=3.4

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is defined by the values LL=2.0 and UL=3.4.

CI: 2.0

Answers:

Gabe needs 30 liters of the 50% solution

Gabe needs 30 liters of the 70% solution

Both answers are 30

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

Explanation:

We have two beakers, each of which we don't know how much is inside. Let's call this x and y

x = amount of liquid in the first beaker (water+acid)

y = amount of liquid in the second beaker (water+acid)

We're told that the beakers have a 50% solution and a 70% solution of acid. This means that the first beaker has 0.5*x liters of pure acid, and the second beaker has 0.7*y liters of pure acid. In total, there is 0.5x+0.7y liters of pure acid when we combine the two beakers. This is out of x+y = 60 liters total, which we can solve for y to get y = 60-x. We will use y = 60-x later on when it comes to the substitution step

We can divide the total amount of pure acid (0.5x+0.7y liters) over the total amount of solution (x+y = 60) to get the following

(0.5x+0.7y)/(x+y) = (0.5x+0.7y)/60

We want this to be equal to 0.6 because Gabe wants a 60% solution when everything is said and done, so

(0.5x+0.7y)/60 = 0.60

0.5x+0.7y = 0.60*60 .... multiply both sides by 60

0.5x+0.7y = 36

0.5x+0.7( y ) = 36

0.5x+0.7(60-x) = 36 ........ replace y with 60-x (substitution step)

0.5x+0.7(60)+0.7(-x) = 36 .... distribute

0.5x+42-0.7x = 36

-0.2x+42 = 36

-0.2x = 36-42 .... subtract 42 from both sides

-0.2x = -6

x = -6/(-0.2) .... divide both sides by -0.2

x = 30

He needs 30 liters of the 50% solution

Use this x value to find y

y = 60-x

y = 60-30

y = 30

So he needs 30 liters of the 70% solution
