The mean weight of trucks traveling on a particular section of I-475 is not known. A state highway inspector needs an estimate o

f the mean. He selects a random sample of 49 trucks passing the weighing station and finds the sample mean is 15.8 tons. The population standard deviation is 3.8 tons. What is the 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean

Answer:

The 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean is between 14.736 tons and 16.864 tons.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the population's standard deviation, so we can find the normal confidence interval.

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96*\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{49}} = 1.064

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 15.8 - 1.064 = 14.736 tons

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 15.8 + 1.064 = 16.864 tons

The 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean is between 14.736 tons and 16.864 tons.

Jenna drew irregular quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in circle P. She knows that: m∠3=2⋅m∠1, and m∠2=2⋅m∠4, and m∠2+m∠3=360°. What
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The generalisation she can make from her work is that the other two angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary i.e their sum is 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following from what she knows

m∠3=2⋅m∠1... 1

m∠2=2⋅m∠4 ... 2

m∠2+m∠3=360 ... 3

From what is given, we can substitute equation 1 and 2 into equation 3 as shown:

From 3:

m∠2+m∠3=360

Substituting 1 and 2 we will have:

2⋅m∠4 + 2⋅m∠1 = 360

Factor out 2 from the left hand side of the equation

2(m∠4+m∠1) = 360

Divide both sides by 2

2(m∠4+m∠1)/2 = 360/2

m∠4+m∠1 = 180°

Since the sum of two supplementary angles is 180°, hence the generalisation she can make from her work is that the other two angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary i.e their sum is 180°
