To assess the accuracy of a laboratory scale, a standard weight that is known to weigh 1 gram is repeatedly weighed 4 times. The

resulting measurements (in grams) are: 0.95,1.02, 1.01, 0.98. Assume that the weighings by the scale when the true weight is 1 gram are normally distributed with mean μ. Use these data to compute a 95% confidence interval for μ.

Answer:

(0.9464,1.034)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the mean μ  of all values as;

(0.95+1.02+ 1.01+ 0.98 ) /4 =0.99

μ=0.99

Find the standard deviation as;

-For each value subtract the mean and square the results

0.95-0.99 = -0.04 , -0.04² = 0.0016

1.02-0.99= 0.03, 0.03²=0.0009

1.01-0.99= 0.02, 0.02²= 0.0004

0.98-0.99 = -0.01, -0.01²=0.0001

Find mean of squared deviations as;

(0.0016+0.0009+0.0004+0.0001)/4 =0.00075 ----variance

Standard deviation = √0.00075 = 0.0274

δ = 0.0274

n=4

Thus n< 30 , confidence interval for μ = x ± t*δ/√n ---------(i)

Degree of freedom (df) = n-1 =4-1 =3

The t value for 95% confidence with df= 3 is t=3.182

Substituting the values in equation (i)

0.99 ± 3.182 * 0.0274/√4

0.99 ± 3.182 * 0.0274/2

0.99 ± 3.182 * 0.0137

0.99 ± 0.0436

(0.9464,1.034)

alina1380 [7]
The probability of drawing only one red card in two draws without replacement is given by:
P(1\ red)=\frac{26C1\times26C1}{52C2}=0.51
The probability of drawing two red cards in two draws without replacement isgiven by:
P(2\ red)=\frac{26C2\times26C0}{52C2}=0.245
The events 'draw one red card' and 'draw two red cards' are mutually exclusive. Therefore the probability of drawing at least one red card is 0.51 + 0.245 = 0.755.

1 - 2x < 11

-2x < 10

x < -5

Jack's mistake is that he was supposed to divide by -2 on both sides of the inequality, but he did not do that. By dividing by -2, he will get x < -5.
