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)

To make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1 : 3. If cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, how many bags of ceme
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

5 bags of cement are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1: 3, if cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, to determine how many bags of cement are required to make concrete using 15 bags of sand the following calculation must be done:

Cement = 1

Sand = 3

3 = 15

1 = X

15/3 = X

5 = X

Therefore, 5 bags of cement are required.
