Fission tracks are trails found in uranium-bearing minerals, left by fragments released during fission events. An article report

s that fifteen tracks on one rock specimen had an average track length of 12 μm with a standard deviation of 2 μm. Assuming this to be a random sample from an approximately normal population, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean track length for this rock specimen. Round the answers to three decimal places.

Answer:

Mean track length for this rock specimen is between 10.463 and 13.537

Step-by-step explanation:

99% confidence interval for the mean track length for rock specimen can be calculated using the formula:

M±\frac{t*s}{\sqrt{N}} where

  • M is the average track length (12 μm) in the report
  • t is the two tailed t-score in 99% confidence interval (2.977)
  • s is the standard deviation of track lengths in the report (2 μm)
  • N is the total number of tracks (15)

putting these numbers in the formula, we get confidence interval in 99% confidence as:

12±\frac{2.977*2}{\sqrt{15}} =12±1.537

Therefore, mean track length for this rock specimen is between 10.463 and 13.537

Person A can make a cupcake in 5 minutes, Person B can make a cupcake in 9 minutes. In total they made 168 cupcakes. How many cu
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Person A made 108 cupcakes and person B made 60 cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Person A makes 1 cupcake in 5 minutes.

Say in x minutes A makes : \frac{x}{5} cupcakes

Person B makes 1 cupcake in 9 minutes.

Say in x minutes B makes : \frac{x}{9} cupcakes

Total cupcakes prepared by A and B in x minutes = 168

\frac{x}{5}+\frac{x}{9}=168

\frac{14x}{45}=168

x=\frac{168\times 45}{14}=540

So, cupcakes made by A = \frac{540}{5}=108

Cupcakes made by B = \frac{540}{9}=60

Person A made 108 cupcakes and person B made 60 cupcakes.
