In a random sample of 5 residents of the state of Texas, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 1.9 pounds with a standa

rd deviation of 0.89 pounds. Determine the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas. 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><h2 />

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

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

Given : Sample size : n= 5, since n<30 , so the test we use here is t-test.

Sample mean : \overline{x}=1.9\text{ pounds}

Standard deviation: \sigma=0.89\text{ pounds}

Significance level : 1-\alpha:1-0.99=0.01

By using the standard normal distribution table , the critical value corresponds to the given significance level will be :-

t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{5-1,0.01/2}=t_{4,0.005}=4.604

Now, the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas will be :-

1.9\pm\ (4.604)\dfrac{0.89}{\sqrt{5}}\\\\\approx1.9\pm1.832\\\\=(1.9-1.832,1.9+1.832)=(0.068,\ 3.732)

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas  = (0.068, 3.732)

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (4, –5) with slope 2.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

y + 5 = 2(x−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = 2

y = mx + b

-5 = 2(4) + b

-5 = 8 + b

-8    -8

------------------

-13 = b

y = 2x - 13, in other words --> y + 5 = 2(x−4)

So, y + 5 = 2(x − 4) is the equation of the line that passes through (4, -5).

Which figures demonstrate a translation?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

3rd and 4th Options are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:  

We have been given a graph and we are asked to find which of the given figures demonstrate translation.

Since we know that in translation every point of the object must be moved in the same direction and for the same distance. By translation we can shift a figure in upward, downwards, left and right directions.

Now let us see our given choices one by one.

1. Upon looking at figures represented by 1st option we can see that both figures are mirror images to each other. Since we can get mirror images reflecting the pre-image over an axis of symmetry. So the given figures are result of reflection, therefore, 1st option is not a correct choice.

2. We can see that the figures represented by 2nd option are similar. One figure is smaller and other is larger. Since we get a similar image by dilating our pre-image. Therefore, these figures are result of dilation and 2nd option is not correct indeed.

3. We can see that figures represented by 3rd option are same and these figures are result of shifting. We can see that 1st figure is shifted to right to get the second figure, therefore, 3rd option is a correct choice.

4. The figures represented by 4th option are same and these figures are result of shifting. We can see the figure in the bottom is result of shifting the upper figure downwards and then to right. Therefore, 4th option is a correct choice.

6) John purchased 120 shares of Walmart stock at $58.02 each. He sold the stock for $120.98.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

John lost $6841.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out how much John paid for the stock he bought.  Each share cost $58.02. He bought 120 shares.  Multiply the price by the number of shares.

58.02 x 120 = 6962.40

He sold the stock for $120.98 -- a huge loss!  (We are not told that the $120.98 is the selling price of one share, so I'm assuming that's what John sold all his shares for.)

Find the difference to see what his loss was.

$6962.40 - $120.98 = $6841.42 LOST!
