The sound intensity of a certain type of food processor in normally distributed with standard deviation of 2.9 decibels. If the

measurements of the sound intensity of a random sample of 9 such food processors showed a sample mean of 50.3 decibels, find a 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type

Answer: (48.41,\ 52.19)

Explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size : n=9

Sample mean : \ovreline{x}=50.3\text{ decibels}

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.9\text{ decibels }

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Now, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the (true, unknown) mean sound intensity of all food processors of this type :-

50.3\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.9}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\\approx50.3\pm1.89\\\\=(50.3-1.89,\ 50.3+1.89)=(48.41,\ 52.19)

Which object experiences the greatest gravitational force? A)car B)fire truck C)plane D)human
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: C Plane

Explanation: According to Newton's law, gravitational force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Gravitational force depends on mass. The bigger the mass, the more the magnitude of the gravitational force. Since plane is assume to have the highest mass in the options, we can therefore conclude that plane will experience the highest gravitational force.
