Most dermatologists recommend using sunscreens that have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30. One of the authors wanted

to find out whether the SPF of sunscreens used by students at her school exceeds this value on average? To collect data, the author surveyed students in her introductory statistics course and found that in a sample of 52 students the mean SPF was 34.55 and the standard deviation of SPF was 20.12. The data were not strongly skewed.​ Use the Theory-Based Inference applet to find and report the 95% confidence interval for the parameter of interest. Round answers to 4 decimal places, e.g. 0.7523. ​We are 95% confident that the mean SPF level of sunscreen used by all Cal Poly students is between and .

Answer:  We are 95% confident that the mean SPF level of sunscreen used by all Cal Poly students is between 29.0813 and 40.0187.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.95=0.05

Sample size : n= 52 , which is a large sample (n>30), so we use z-test.

By using z-value table,

Critical value: z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Sample mean : \overline{x}= 34.55

Standard deviation : \sigma= 20.12

The confidence interval for population means is given by :-

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

i.e. 34.55\pm(1.96)\dfrac{ 20.12}{\sqrt{52}}

=34.55\pm5.46867829455\\\\\approx34.55\pm5.4687\\\\=(34.55-5.4687, 34.55+5.4687)=(29.0813,\ 40.0187)

Now, the 95% confidence interval for the ppopulation mean = . (29.0813, 40.0187)

Hence, We are 95% confident that the mean SPF level of sunscreen used by all Cal Poly students is between 29.0813 and 40.0187.

1. Indicate the number of significant figures in each of the following quantities:
shutvik [7]

Answer:

(a) 3

(b) 4

(c) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of significant figure, ignore all zeros on the left and count the remaing digits.

(a) ignore 0.0, so 590 is 3 s. f.

(b) no zeros to the left, so 4 s. f.

(c) ignore 0.00, so 122 is 3 s. f.

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the function f(x) = log(2x + 1) − 1.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

(9/2,0) and (0,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y(0) = log(1)-1 = -1

y=0 when log(2x+1) = 1

2x+1 = 10

x = 9/2

Write the equation of a line, in slope intercept form, that has a slope of 1 and passes through the point (2, 4).
Illusion [34]

Start with the simplest equation of a straight line:  y = mx + b.

Subst. 1 for m, 2 for x and 4 for y.  Then, 4 = 1(2) + b, or b = 2.

In slope-intercept form, the equation of this line is y = x + 2.
