A researchers wants to determine the mean weight of avocados grown in Southern California. The population from which the sample

is drawn is such that the weight of the avocados is approximately normally distributed for the sample. The size of the sample is 9, the sample mean determined from this sample is 6 ounces, and the sample standard deviation determined from this sample is 0.75 ounces. Help the researcher by determining the 90% confidence interval for the true mean weight of these Southern California avocados. (This problem will be solved after lecture on confidence intervals.)

Answer: (0.465, 5.535)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to calculate the confidence interval (<em>when population standard deviation is unknown</em>) is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2} \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

, where \overline{x} = sample mean.

s= sample standard deviation.

n= Sample size.

t_{\alpha/2} = critical value

By considering the given information , we have

\overline{x}=6

s=0.75

n= 9

Significance level = \alpha=0.1   [1-0.90=0.1]

By using students' t distribution -table , the critical value for 95% confidence level :

t_{\alpha/2 , n-1}=t_{0.1/2,\ 8}=1.86

[Note: degree of freedom = n-1]

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the true mean weight of these Southern California avocados will be :

6\pm (1.86) \dfrac{0.75}{\sqrt{9}}

6\pm (1.86) \dfrac{0.75}{3}

6\pm (1.86) 0.25

6\pm 0.465=(6-0.465,\ 6+0.465)=(0.465,\ 5.535)

Hence, the required confidence interval  =(0.465, 5.535)

Hello!
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

  • A. 2 < x < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

With two congruent sides the third side is greater against a greater angle.

<u>34 < 36, therefore:</u>

  • 3x - 6 < 24
  • 3x  < 30
  • x < 10

<u>And, the angle should have a positive value:</u>

  • 3x - 6 > 0
  • 3x > 6
  • x > 2

<u>Combined, we get:</u>

  • 2 < x < 10

Writey=1/8 x+7 in standard form using integers.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

x - 8y = - 56

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Given

y = \frac{1}{8} x + 7

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fraction

8y = x + 56 ( subtract 8y from both sides )

0 = x - 8y + 56 ( subtract 56 from both sides )

- 56 = x - 8y, that is

x - 8y = - 56 ← in standard form

Consider the polynomial f(x) = 5x4+ 3x2+ x + 19. How many complex solutions does the polynomial have?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

  1. there are 4 complex solutions
  2. 3 real zeros and 2 complex zeros

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Descarte's rule of signs tells you there are 0 positive real roots and 0 or 2 negative real roots. (for positive x, signs are ++++ so have no changes; for negative x, signs are ++-+, so have 2 changes.) A graph shows no real roots.

2. There are 3 sign changes in the given polynomial, so 3 or 1 positive real roots. When the sign of x is changed, there are 2 sign changes, so 0 or 2 negative real roots. A graph shows 2 negative and one positive real root (for a total of 3), so the remaining 2 roots are complex.
