Soil pH is an important variable in the design of structures that will contact the soil. Nine test samples of soil from a potent

ial construction site gave readings of
7.3 6.5 6.4 6.1 6.0 6.5 6.2 5.8 6.7
Assuming that soil pH is normally distributed, find the 90% lower confidence bound for the true average soil pH at the site.

Answer:

90% lower confidence bound for the true average soil pH at the site is ≈ 6.13

Step-by-step explanation:

90% Lower Confidence bound can be calculated using M-ME where

  • M is the sample mean pH (6.39)
  • ME is the margin of error from the mean

And margin of error (ME)  can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{t*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • t is the corresponding statistic in the 90% confidence level (1.86)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample PH's (0.42)
  • N is the sample size (9)

Using the numbers we get:

ME=\frac{1.86*0.42}{\sqrt{9} } ≈ 0.26

Then the 90% lower confidence bound for the true average soil pH at the site is 6.39 - 0.26 = 6.13

What is the value of x when the richter scale rating scale is 8.4?
Vsevolod [243]

The value of x when the richter scale rating scale is 8.4 is 251188643.151

<h3>What is a richter scale?</h3>

A richter scale is a numerical scale that is used for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake in a geographical area

<h3>How the richter scale works?</h3>

The richter scale takes the amplitude of the earthquake's largest seismic as an input and calculate (and display) the magnitude of an earthquake in the geographical area using a logarithmic function

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

The formula of a richter scale is expressed as:

log(x) = n

Where n represents the scale rating of the scale

In this case, n = 8.4.

So, we have:

log(x) = 8.4

Express as an exponent

x = 10^8.4

Evaluate the exponent

x = 251188643.151

Hence, the value of x when the richter scale rating scale is 8.4 is 251188643.151

Answer:

a) yes

b) 2560

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function has a common ratio between points uniformly spaced. Here, the data points are 10 years apart.

The ratio of the first two values is 4000/5000 = 0.8.

The ratio of the next two values is 3200/4000 = 0.8.

These ratios are the same, so the data is consistent with an exponential function.

The common ratio can be used to predict the next value. The next value is predicted to be ...

  3200 × 0.8 = 2560
