A research company desires to know the mean consumption of meat per week among people over age 40. A sample of 610 people over a

ge 40 was drawn and the mean meat consumption was 3.1 pounds. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 1.1 pounds. Construct the 85% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among people over age 40. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answer: (3.0,\ 3.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}  (1)

, where \overline{x} = Sample mean

z_{\alpha/2}= Critical z-value

\sigma = Population standard deviation.

n= Sample size.

As per given , we have

n= 610

\sigma=1.1

\overline{x}=3.1

Significance level for 85% confidence : \alpha=1-0.85=0.15

By z-table critical two tailed z-value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.075}=1.44

Put all values in (1) , we get

3.1\pm 1.44\dfrac{1.1}{\sqrt{610}}

3.1\pm 1.44\dfrac{1.1}{24.698}

3.1\pm 0.064

=(3.1-0.064,\ 3.1+0.064)=(3.036,\ 3.164)\approx(3.0,\ 3.2)

Hence, the 85% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among people over age 40.  = (3.0,\ 3.2)

Describe how you can check to see if two ratios are proportional. Use the following ratios to explain your thinking: 2/3 12/18
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional.

Can someone help me please
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

none

Explanation:

Fill in each option for x individually.

I)     9 \leq -10 - 4(-1)  

II)    9 \leq -10 - 4(-3)  

III)   9 \leq -10 - 4(-2)

Then, simplify the right side of each inequality.

I)    9 \leq -6

II)   9 \leq 2

III)  9 \leq -2

Each of these inequalities are flase. 9 is not less than or equal to any of these values, so the answer is none.

Please help on B C D ONLY PLEASE
Rama09 [41]

The answer for B is: 40 - (7.50 x 4) = 10 Because 7.50 x 4 = 30 and 40 - 30 = 10 So they are left with $10 after paying for the tickets

The answer for C is: Miguel and his 3 friends started with $40 and had a fee of $7.50 for each ticket and there are 4 people. 4 x 7.50 = 30 and 40 - 30 = 10 so they are left with $10 to spend on snacks and other stuff!

Idk the answer for D sorry about that!

Hope this helps!

a chord of 12cm long of 8cm is away from the of the circle what is the lenght of the chord which is 6cm away from the centre
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The length of the chord is 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, a line from the center of the circle to a chord divides the chord into 2 equal portions

From the first part of the question, we can get the radius of the circle

The radius form the hypotenuse, the two-portions of the chord (12/2 = 6 cm) and the distance from the center to the chord forms the other side of the triangle

Thus, by Pythagoras’ theorem; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus,

r^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

r^2= 64 + 36

r^2 = 100

r = 10 cm

Now, we want to get a chord length which is 6 cm away from the circle center

let the half-portion that forms the right triangle be c

Using Pythagoras’ theorem;

10^2 = 6^2 + c^2

c^2 = 100-36

c^2 = 64

c = 8

The full

length of the chord is 2 * 8 = 16 cm
