Answer:

a) Confidence interval is (182.86,203.54).

b) (i) Yes, 200 bips is a true mean as it lie in the interval.

(ii) No, 210 bips is not a true mean as it doesn't lie in the interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A researcher studied the radioactivity of asbestos. She sampled 81 boards of asbestos, and found a sample mean of 193.2 bips, and a sample standard deviation of 49.5 bips.

To find : (a) Obtain the 94% confidence interval for the mean radioactivity. (b) (i) According the interval that you got, is 200 bips a plausible value for the true mean? (ii) What about 210 bips?

Solution :

a) The confidence interval formula is given by,

\bar{x}-z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

We have given,            

The sample mean \bar{x}=193.2 bips

s is the standard deviation \sigma=49.5 bips

n is the number of sample n=81

z is the score value, at 94% z=1.88

Substitute all the values in the formula,

193.2-1.88\times \frac{49.5}{\sqrt{81}}

193.2-1.88\times 5.5

193.2-10.34

182.86

Confidence interval is (182.86,203.54).    

b) (i) According the interval 182.86

200 bips a plausible value for the true mean as it lies in the interval.

(ii) 210 bips not lie in the confidence interval so it is not a true mean.

Use the x-intercept method to find all real solutions of the equation -9^3-72^2-96x+36=3x^3+x^2-3x+8
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

 x ≈ 0.290640965127

Step-by-step explanation:

y subtracting the right side of the equation, we get a function that is zero at a real solution for x. The only x-intercept is at approximately 0.290640965127.

___

The graph shows the x-intercept to be 0.2906. The value above was obtained by Newton's method iteration. The roots of this cubic will all be irrational.

A shop has one-pound bags of peanuts for $2 and three-pound bags of peanuts for $5.50. If you buy 8 bags and spend $37, how many
Andrew [12]

Answer:

  • 6 3-lb bags
  • 2 1-lb bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...

  $2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37

  16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms

  3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16

  21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.
