In a random sample of 9 residents of the state of Florida, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 2.4 pounds with a stan

dard deviation of 0.75 pounds. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Florida. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

When the sample size is small (< 30) and the population standard deviation is unknown , then we use t-test.

The confidence interval for population mean will be :

\overline{x}\pm t^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

, where \overline{x} = sample mean

t* = Critical value (based on degree of freedom and significance level).

s= sample standard deviation

n= sample size.

As per given we have

n= 9

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 8

\overline{x}=2.4

s= 0.75

Significance level =\alpha=1-0.80=0.20

Using students' t distribution table ,

Critical value : t^*=t_{\alpha/2,df}=t_{0.10,8}=1.3304

We assume that the population is approximately normal.

Then, a 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Florida will be :

2.4\pm (1.3304)\dfrac{0.75}{\sqrt{8}}   (Substitute the values in (1))

2.4\pm (1.3304)\dfrac{0.75}{2.82842712475}

2.4\pm (1.3304)(0.265165042945)

2.4\pm 0.352775573134\approx2.4\pm0.353=(2.4-0.353,\ 2.4+0.353)=(2.047,\ 2.753)

Hence, the 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Florida. = (2.047, 2.753)

6. The dimensions of a rectangular garden are 380ft x 250ft. If you want to walk around this garden to make 3 miles for a mornin
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L=3(5280)/(2(380+250))

L=15840/1260

L=12.57

So to walk three miles one must walk around the garden 12.57 times.

What is this solution 20x+30y=1000 when 20 is y intercept and 30 is x intercept
Kamila [148]
20y+30x=1000 divide 20 on each side to st the y alone.
y+30x=50 next put it in slope intercept form
y=30x+50 I don't know if this was te answer you were looking for but I hope it is

Find the area of this figure.
umka2103 [35]
Rectangle

l = 7.2 - 1.7 = 5.5 ft            b = 3.4 ft

Semicircle

r = 1.7 ft

Shaded region = area of rectangle + area of semicircle

= l x b + πr²/2

= 5.5 x 3.4 + 3.14 x 1.7 x 1.7 x 1/2

= 18.7 + 4.5373

= 23.2373 ft²
