34 packages are randomly selected from packages received by a parcel service. The sample has a mean weight of 25.9 pounds and a

standard deviation of 3.8 pounds. What is the 95% confidence interval for the true mean weight, μ, of all packages received by the parcel service?
24.6 < μ < 27.2

24.8 < μ < 27.0

24.2 < μ < 27.6

24.4 < μ < 27.4

Answer:

24.6 < μ < 27.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{34}} = 1.3

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 25.9 - 1.3 = 24.6 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 25.9 + 1.3 = 27.2 pounds.

So the correct answer is:

24.6 < μ < 27.2

Which answer choice states the range of the following
ankoles [38]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! Remember you have to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here you forgot to write the relation so I could help you providing my own relation.

Remember that for any relation, we have a set A that matches the the domain (also called the set of inputs) of the function and the set B that contains the range (also called the set of outputs).

Suppose our relation is:

y=-10+x \\ \\ For \ x=1,2,3,4,5

So the x-values represents the set A and the y-values the set B. Therefore, by evaluating the x-values into our relation we get:

\text{If x=1} \\ \\ y=-10+1=-9 \\ \\ \\ \text{If x=2} \\ \\ y=-10+2=-8 \\ \\ \\ \text{If x=3} \\ \\ y=-10+3=-7 \\ \\ \\ \text{If x=4} \\ \\ y=-10+4=-6 \\ \\ \\ \text{If x=5} \\ \\ y=-10+5=-5

So in this context, the correct option is:

B) (-9,-8, -7, -6, -5}

Ms.Malone received $3.40 in change. What is the amount as a fraction in simplest terms.
sammy [17]
To write 3.40 as a fraction you have to write 3.40 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.
3.40 = 3.40/1 = 34/10

And finally we have:
3.40 as a fraction equals 34/10 simplified we get: 3 2/5

Arithmetic and geometric series -Find the sum of the first 50 terms of the following series, to the nearest integer.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

<h3>             10,450</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

21-13=8   and   29-21=8

So this is aritmetic series where a₁ = 13, and r = 8

Sum of the first n terms:  

S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a_n}{2}\cdot n=\dfrac{a_1+a_1+(n-1)r}{2}\cdot n=\dfrac{2a_1+(n-1)r}{2}\cdot n\\\\\\S_{50}=\dfrac{2\cdot13+(50-1)\cdot8}{2}\cdot50=(13+49\cdot4)\cdot 50=10,450
