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.

YOU YES YOU WILL BE MARKED AS BRAINLIST TO YHIS QUESTION!!✔
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

<em>16 -> 15/20 -> 0.65 -> -7/25</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Why?</u>

Most of the numbers in the set are rational where there is only ONE nature number which is 16 and it's the greatest. Comes after is 15/20 which equals .75 and it's obviously larger than 0.65 which will come after. The negative number is the smallest so it goes last :)

Suppose the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 has no real solution and a graph of the related function has a vertex that lies in the second q
Veseljchak [2.6K]
If it has no real solutions, that means the graph does not intersect the x axis

since we have ax^2+bx+c=0, the parabola opens either up or down
since the vertex is in the second quadrant (x is negative and y is positive in this reigon) and the graph does not cross the x axis, the parabola must open up
if the value of 'a' is positive, then the parabola opens up

so 'a' must be positive



if it is translated to the 4th quadrant, then the vertex is now below the x axis
it will now have 2 x intercepts because the vertex is in the 4th quadrant and look at a graph of a parabola opening up with vertex in 4th quadrant and seehow many time it crosses the x axis

Problem Page Ann will run more than 38 miles this week. So far, she has run 21 miles. What are the possible numbers of additiona
krok68 [10]
She has run 21 miles already. Let t be the number of additional miles added on. 

In total, she has run t+21 miles 

This is going to be set greater than 38 since "Ann will run more than 38 miles"

So we have this inequality

t+21 > 38

we solve for t by subtracting 21 from both sides

t+21 > 38
t+21-21 > 38-21
t+0 > 17
t > 17

The final answer is t > 17

which means that the possible additional number of miles she could run is anything larger than 17. So t = 18 is one possibility.
