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)

Need Help Badly<br>What is the solution
Kamila [148]
Sqrt(1-3x)=x+3
[sqrt(1-3x)]^2=(x+3)^2
1-3x=(x+3)(x+3)
1-3x=x^2+6x+9
-3x=x^2+6x+8
0=x^2+9x+8

The answers are -1 and -8 BUT, we have to plug them back into the original equation to make sure we don't get a negative under the square root sign.

After doing this, we realize that only -1 works, so the answer is x=-1

Sorry that this took forever to answer. I was thinking of a good way to explain this, and if you need any further explanation, message me:)

Best wishes:)

Answer:

d. $125, $135, $150, $130

Step-by-step explanation:

$125, $135, $150, $130

Range of the above set of numbers:

$150 - $125 = $25

Mean of numbers:

$125 + $135 + $150 + $130 = $540

540 ÷ 4 = $135
