A high school statistics class wants to estimate the average number of chocolate chips in a generic brand of chocolate chip cook

ies. They collect a random sample of cookies, count the chips in each cookie, and calculate a 95% confidence interval for the average number of chips per cookie (18.6 to 21.3). Which interpretation of the 95% confidence interval is valid? Group of answer choices We are 95% certain that each cookie of this brand has approximately 18.6 to 21.3 chocolate chips. We expect 95% of the cookies to have between 18.6 and 21.3 chocolate chips. We would expect about 95% of all possible sample means from this population to be between 18.6 and 21.3 chocolate chips. We are 95% certain that the confidence interval of 18.6 to 21.3 includes the true average number of chocolate chips per cookie.

Answer:

Correct option:

We are 95% certain that the confidence interval of 18.6 to 21.3 includes the true average number of chocolate chips per cookie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for the (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population<em> </em>mean is:

CI=\bar x\pm CV \times SE_{\bar x}

Here:

\bar x = sample mean

CV = critical value

SE_{\bar x} = standard error of mean.

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population parameter implies that there is a (1 - <em>α</em>) probability that the true value of the parameter is included in the interval.

Or, the (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the parameter implies that there is (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence or certainty that the true parameter value is contained in the interval.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean number of chocolate chips per cookie is (18.6, 21.3).

This 95% confidence interval implies that there is a 0.95 probability that the true mean number of chocolate chips per cookie is between 18.6 and 21.3.

Thus, the correct option is:

"We are 95% certain that the confidence interval of 18.6 to 21.3 includes the true average number of chocolate chips per cookie. "

A student might expect that there is a positive correlation between the age of his or her computer and its resale value. Tue or
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

As time goes by, the resale value of a computer tends to drop because it tends not to function as properly as it did before, and the quality of new computers on the market drives the price of older computers down. So you can expect that as the amount of time increases, the resale value will decrease, resulting in a negative correlation

A frustum is made by removing a small cone from a similar large cone in the diagram shown the height of a small cone is a quarte
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Volume of the frustum = ⅓πh(4R² - r²)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to determine the volume of the frustum.

Find attached the diagram obtained from the given information.

Let height of small cone = h

height of the large cone = H

The height of a small cone is a quarter of the height of the large cone:

h = ¼×H

H = 4h

Volume of the frustum = volume of the large cone - volume of small cone

volume of the large cone = ⅓πR²H

= ⅓πR²(4h) = 4/3 ×π×R²h

volume of small cone = ⅓πr²h

Volume of the frustum = 4/3 ×π×R²h -  ⅓πr²h

Volume of the frustum = ⅓(4π×R²h - πr²h)

Volume of the frustum = ⅓πh(4R² - r²)

A pharmacist has 30% and 60% iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 6 lit
kkurt [141]

Answer:

4 liters of 60% solution; 2 liters of 30% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to use a simple, but effective, tool for most mixture problems. It is a kind of "X" diagram as in the attachment.

The ratios of solution concentrations are 3:6:5, so I've used those numbers in the diagram. The constituent solutions are on the left; the desired mixture is in the middle, and the numbers on the other legs of the X are the differences along the diagonals: 6 - 5 = 1; 5 - 3 = 2. This tells you the ratio of 60% solution to 30% solution is 2 : 1.

These ratio units (2, 1) add to 3. We want 6 liters of mixture, so we need to multiply these ratio units by 2 liters to get the amounts of constituents needed. The result is 4 liters of 60% solution and 2 liters of 30% solution.

_____

If you're writing equations, it often works well to let the variable represent the quantity of the greatest contributor—the 60% solution. Let the volume of that (in liters) be represented by v. Then the total volume of iodine in the mixture is ...

... 0.60·v + 0.30·(6 -v) = 0.50·6

... 0.30v = 0.20·6 . . . . subtract 0.30·6, collect terms

... v = 6·(0.20/0.30) = 4 . . . . divide by the coefficient of v

4 liters of 60% solution are needed. The other 2 liters are 30% solution.
