Given Information:  

Number of lithium batteries = n = 16

Mean life of lithium batteries = μ = 645 hours

Standard deviation of lithium batteries = σ = 31 hours

Confidence level = 95%  

Required Information:  

Confidence Interval = ?

Answer:  

CI = 628.5 \: to \: 661.5 \: hours

Step-by-step explanation:  

The confidence interval is given by

CI = \mu \pm t_{\alpha/2} (\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Where μ is the mean life of lithium batteries, σ is the standard deviation, n is number of lithium batteries selected, and t is the critical value from the t-table with significance level of

tα/2 = (1 - 0.95) = 0.05/2 = 0.025

and the degree of freedom is

DoF = n - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

The critical value (tα/2) at 15 DoF is equal to 2.131 (from the t-table)

CI = 645 \pm 2.131(\frac{31}{\sqrt{16}})

CI = 645 \pm 2.131(7.75})

CI = 645 \pm 16.515

CI = 645 - 16.515 \: and \: 645 + 16.515

CI = 628.5 \: to \: 661.5 \: hours

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is 628.5 to 661.5 hours

What does it mean?

It means that we are 95% confident that the mean life of 16 lithium batteries is within the interval of (628.5 to 661.5 hours)

Simplify the expression. . 1 V 3.0 2​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

81x^4/16  (81x to the fourth over 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you apply the exponent rule: (a/b)^c  ->  a^c/b^c

So it looks like this: 3x^2/4^2

Then you apply the exponent to the whole thing, and 3^4 is 81, x^4 stays like that, and 2^4 is 16

You can't simplify any more after that so that's your answer

Hope this helps!

Answer:

If the population has increased by 12% then to ensure a generated maximum capacity must be more than 12% we already have a figure being 100% prior so the answer is 12% population increase =112% and 12%.of 112 =13.44

We add this to 12

12+13.44= 25.44

If g(x) = 3x^2+2x-1. Find g(-1).​
Mandarinka [93]

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3x² + 2x - 1

g(-1) = 3(-1)² + 2(-1) - 1

= 3(1) -2 -1

= 3 - 3

= 0
