A researcher examines 27 water samples for mercury concentration. The mean mercury concentration for the sample data is 0.097 cc

/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.0074. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the population mean mercury concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Margin of error = z × s/√n

Where

s = sample standard deviation = 0.0074

n = number of samples = 27

From the information given, the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is small, hence, we would use the t distribution to find the z score

In order to use the t distribution, we would determine the degree of freedom, df for the sample.

df = n - 1 = 27 - 1 = 26

Since confidence level = 90% = 0.90, α = 1 - CL = 1 – 0.9 = 0.1

α/2 = 0.1/2 = 0.05

the area to the right of z0.05 is 0.05 and the area to the left of z0.05 is 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

Looking at the t distribution table,

z = 1.706

The critical value is 1.706

Margin of error = 1.706 × 0.0074√27

= 0.0024

The 90% confidence interval is

0.097 ± 0.0024

How do I solve for x? (the picture has the problem)
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

x = 21.013155617496

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a right triangle then ,

\cos \left( 36\right)  =\frac{17}{x}

Then

x=\frac{17}{\cos \left( 36\right)  } = 21.013155617496

Then

x ≈ 21

Add and subtract the rational expressions. 7x+5/x-1 -(8x1/x-1+2x-4/x-1) Which statements are true about the process for adding a
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

2. The denominator of the fully simplified expression will be x – 1.

4. The numerator of the fully simplified expression will be –3x + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression

\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -(\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} +\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1} )

Let us first simplify before making our deductions.

Opening the brackets

\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -(\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} +\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1} )=\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} -\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1}

Taking LCM

=\dfrac{7x+5-(8x-1)-(2x-4)}{x-1}

Opening the brackets and simplifying

=\dfrac{7x+5-8x+1-2x+4}{x-1}\\\text{Collecting like terms in the numerator}\\=\dfrac{7x-8x-2x+5+1+4}{x-1}\\=\dfrac{-3x+10}{x-1}

The following statements are therefore true:

2. The denominator of the fully simplified expression will be x – 1.

4. The numerator of the fully simplified expression will be –3x + 10.
