Why do scientist collect data

1 answer:

5 0

As scientists conduct their research, they make observations and collect data. The observations and data often lead them to ask why something is the way it is. Scientists pursue answers to these questions in order to continue with their research.

A researchers wants to determine the mean weight of avocados grown in Southern California. The population from which the sample

natka813 [3]

Answer: (0.465, 5.535)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to calculate the confidence interval (<em>when population standard deviation is unknown</em>) is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2} \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

, where $\overline{x}$ = sample mean.

s= sample standard deviation.

n= Sample size.

$t_{\alpha/2}$ = critical value

By considering the given information , we have

$\overline{x}=6$

s=0.75

n= 9

Significance level = $\alpha=0.1$ [1-0.90=0.1]

By using students' t distribution -table , the critical value for 95% confidence level :

$t_{\alpha/2 , n-1}=t_{0.1/2,\ 8}=1.86$

[Note: degree of freedom = n-1]

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the true mean weight of these Southern California avocados will be :

$6\pm (1.86) \dfrac{0.75}{\sqrt{9}}$

$6\pm (1.86) \dfrac{0.75}{3}$

$6\pm (1.86) 0.25$

$6\pm 0.465=(6-0.465,\ 6+0.465)=(0.465,\ 5.535)$

Hence, the required confidence interval =(0.465, 5.535)

Easy Sample Ap graphing 50pts! (Easy points!!) (ASAP) (URGENT) (Please check my other questions) Please

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a) See attachment 1.

b) t² and D

c) See attachment 2.

d) g = 9.8 m/s² (1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment 1. The line of best fit is shown in red.

The quantities the student should graph in order to produce a <u>linear relationship</u> between the two quantities are t² and D.

Make a table of values of t² and D:

$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}\cline{1-6} \rm t^2& 0.0196& 0.1024& 0.2116 & 0.3481& 0.3969\\\cline{1-6} \rm D & 0.10 & 0.50& 1.00 & 1.70 & 2.00\\\cline{1-6}\end{array}$

<u>Plot</u> a graph of D against t² and draw a line of best fit (see attachment 2).

From inspection of the graph, the line of best fit passes through the origin (0, 0) and (0.1024, 5.0). Therefore, use these two points to find the slope of the line:

$\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{0.5-0}{0.1024-0}=4.8828125...\:\rm m/s^2$

Therefore:

$\rm \implies \dfrac{1}{2}g=4.8828125...\:\rm m/s^2$

$\rm \implies g=2 \cdot 4.8828125...\:\rm m/s^2$

$\rm \implies g=9.8\:\rm m/s^2\:(1\:d.p.)$
