A researcher studied the radioactivity of asbestos. She sampled 81 boards of asbestos, and found a sample mean of 193.2 bips, an

d a sample standard deviation of 49.5 bips. (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?

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.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

90º

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle = 180º.

m<Z = 90º

So m<x + m<y = 180 - 90

That equals 90º

Daniela sells handmade purses for $22. She
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

6 purses

Step-by-step explanation

1. Subtract 71 from 161 as that's how much Daniela needs to make to have 161, which is 90

2. Divide 15 by 90 as 15 is the profit, so the answer would be the amount of purses she needs to sell, then you get 6

Check

6 times 15, 90

71 + 90 = 161

Which are steps in the process of completing the square used to solve the equation 3 – 4x = 5x2 – 14x? Check all that apply.
avanturin [10]
Add 4x over to 14x, 3=5x2- 18x then add 18x to the other side 3+ 18x= 5x2then divided each side by 5,( 3+18x/5=x2) then square root each side the answer to x would be the square root of 3+18x/5

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?
jeka94

Answer:

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can verify if the following expression is true or false:

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?

If we want to proof this we need to show that for any number is true.

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true
