Data were collected on random specimens of Yellowfin tuna from 1991 and 2010. For the sample of 231 specimens of Yellowfin tuna,

the average mercury level was found to be 0.354 ppm and the standard deviation of mercury level to be 0.231 ppm. The data are not strongly skewed. Find the 95% confidence interval for the average mercury level. Round to three decimal places.

Answer:

95% confidence interval: (0.325 ,0.383)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 231

Sample mean = 0.354 ppm

Sample standard deviation = 0.231 ppm

95% confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 4 and}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 1.97  

0.354 \pm 1.97(\dfrac{0.231}{\sqrt{231}} ) = 0.354 \pm 0.029 = (0.325 ,0.383)

What is the x-intercept and the y-intercept for x+2y=8
Ierofanga [76]
To find the x-intercept, you need to set y equal to zero(think about this on a  graph!)
This will become:
x + 2(0) = 8
If we remove the unnecessary zero:
x = 8
That's the x intercept, which can be expressed as the point (8,0).

To find the y-intercept, you need to set x equal to zero(again, think about that on a graph!)
This becomes:
0 + 2y = 8
Remove the unnecessary 0:
2y = 8
Divide both sides by 2:
y = 4
There ya go! Or, in point form: (0, 4)

Hope this helped! :)

What is 3,000 more than 150?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

<h2>3,150</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a number that is 3,000 more than 150. To do this set up an equation and let x = the result.

x = 150 + 3,000

x = 3,150

Check

3,150 = 150 + 3,000

3,150 = 3,150 Correct :)

Neveah has created the function of f(x) = 2x+4/3 to represent the growth of her hair, where x represents the number of months si
Andre45 [30]
F(x)=2x+4/3

Replace f(x) by y:
y=2x+4/3

Solving for x:
y-4/3=2x+4/3-4/3

Subtracting the two terms on the left side of the equation:
(3y-4)/3=2x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
[(3y-4)/3]/2=2x/2
[(3y-4)/3]*(1/2)=x
[(3y-4)*1]/[(3)*(2)]=x
(3y-4)/6=x
x=(3y-4)/6

Replace "x" by "f^(-1) (x)" (inverse function) and "y" by "x":
f^(-1) (x) = (3x-4)/6   Inverse function

Then, for x=6 
f^(-1) (6) = [ 3(6)-4]/6
f^(-1) (6) = (18-4)/6
f^(-1) (6)= 14/6
f^(-1) (6) = 7/3

Her hair will have grown 6 after 7/3 = 2.33 months
