Suppose that a jewelry store tracked the amount of emeralds they sold each week to more accurately estimate how many emeralds to

keep in stock. At the end of one year, the store used the weekly sales information to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of emeralds sold per week. The confidence interval they calculated was (2.46,2.72) . Use the confidence interval to find the point estimate for the mean and the margin of error. Give your answers precise to two decimal places.

Answer: The point estimate for the mean is <u>2.59</u> and the margin of error is <u>0.13</u> .

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\mu\pm E, where E is the margin of error .

Given : At the end of one year, the store used the weekly sales information to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of emeralds sold per week.

The confidence interval they calculated was (2.46,2.72) .

The lower limit of the confidence interval : \mu-E=2.46                 (1)

The upper limit of the interval :  \mu+E=2.72                                 (2)

Adding (1) and (2) , we get

2\mu=5.18\\\\\Rightarrow\mu=2.59

Now, Subtracting (1) from (2) , we get

2E =0.26\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=0.13

Hence, the point estimate for the mean is 2.59 and the margin of error is 0.13 .

The surface area of this regular pyramid is 1040 cm2. The base is a regular pentagon with side b = 16 cm and slant height l =15
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the surface area of a regular pyramid is B + (1/2*P*l), with B being the area of the base, p being the perimeter of the base, and l being the slant of the pyramid.

The area of a pentagon can be solved using the formula 1/2*a*p, with a being the apothem and p being the perimeter of the pentagon.

  1. B + (1/2*80*15) = 1040
  2. B + 600 = 1040
  3. 1040 - 600 = 440 (440 is the area of pentagon)
  4. 1/2*a*(16*5) = 440
  5. 40*a = 440
  6. 440/40 = 11

The apothem is 11 cm. Hope this helps!
