Answer:

(a) Population mean = 314.5mg

(b) Margin of error = 21.281mg

The new brand of hot dog has a lower sodium content on average than the leading brand

(d) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Population mean = (370+326+322+297+326+289+293+264+327+331)/10 = 3145/10 = 314.5mg

(b) Margin of error = t×sd/√n

sd = 29.73, n = 10, degree of freedom = n-1 = 10-1 = 9

Assuming 95% confidence level

t-value corresponding to 9 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 2.262

Margin of error = 2.262×29.73/√10 = 21.281mg

Lower limit of new brand = 314.5 - 21.281 = 293.219mg

Upper limit = 314.5 + 21.281 = 335.781mg

The range of sodium content for the new brand of hot dog is between 293.219mg and 335.781mg which is lower than the leading brand (350mg)

(d) Margin of error = t×sd/√n

From the formula above, margin of error varies inversely as the square root of sample size

The smaller the sample size (n = 10) the larger the margin of error and the less accurate is the population mean

The larger the sample size (n = 40) the smaller the margin of error and the more accurate is the population mean

The answer should be B, because 16 is basically just 2 meals, which makes 2m and 4 for snacks. so is 2m + 4 = 16

For a medical study, a researcher wishes to select people in the middle 60% of the population based on blood pressure.

Finger [1]

Answer:

Lower limit: 113.28

Upper limit: 126.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 120, \sigma = 8$

Middle 60%

So it goes from X when Z has a pvalue of 0.5 - 0.6/2 = 0.2 to X when Z has a pvalue of 0.5 + 0.6/2 = 0.8

Lower limit

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.20. So X when $Z = -0.84$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-0.84 = \frac{X - 120}{8}$

$X - 120 = -0.84*8$

$X = 113.28$

Upper limit

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.80. So X when $Z = 0.84$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$0.84 = \frac{X - 120}{8}$

$X - 120 = 0.84*8$

$X = 126.72$

I will mark brainliest

uranmaximum [27]

To start off, simplify the equation if needed:
3m>=21
Since both sides are divisible by 3, you can simplify for the equation to be

m>=7

Next is to find the domain of the line graph. Since the sign is more than or equal to (>=), the circle is closed.
And since m is MORE THAN OR EQUAL TO, the section starts at 7 (closed circle), and continues after. Therefore, your answer will be the third selection.
