In a random sample of 16 residents of the state of Washington, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 2.8 pounds with a

standard deviation of 0.24 pounds. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Washington. Assume the population is approximately normal.

Answer: The required confidence interval would be (2.72,2.89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 2.8 pounds

Standard deviation = 0.24 pounds

n = sample size = 16

We need to find the 80% confidence interval for the mean waste.

z=1.341

So, the confidence interval will be

\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=(2.8\pm 1.341\times \dfrac{0.24}{\sqrt{16}})\\\\=(2.8\pm 1.314\times 0.06)\\\\=(2.8-0.07884,2.8+0.07884)\\\\=(2.72116,2.87884)

Hence, the required confidence interval would be (2.72,2.89)

Will somebody help me with this ? Very much appreciated!! I’ll mark u as brainliest!
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 1/4

x = 1/4                  Put this value in for x

y = 1/4 - 1/4

y = 0

x = 13/4

y = 13/4 - 1/4        The denominators remain the same The numerators are subtracted.

y = (13 - 1)/4

y = 12/4

y = 3

If x is to = 2 then it must be changed so it's denominator is 4

2 = 8/4

y= 8/4 - 1/4

y = 7/4 or 1.75  or 1 3/4

Ericka decided to compare her observation to the average annual trend, which shows the water rising 1.8 mm/year. Remember, she u
Alex787 [66]

Answer with explanation:

Presume that, initial water level to be, 0 mm, at a time t=0.

And water level is rising at the rate of 1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}.

 After 6.2 years level of water will be =1.8 × 6.2

                                                           =11.16 mm

→Averge, that is increase in water level after 6.2 years is given by

                     =\frac{W_{2}-W_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}\\\\=\frac{11.16-0}{6.2-0}\\\\=\frac{11.16}{6.2}\\\\=1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}

→→Rate of Depreciating of water level is given by = Negative of Increase of water level=-1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}

A population has the following characteristics. (a) A total of 75% of the population survives the first year. Of that 75%, 25% s
Artemon [7]

Answer:

= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1344\\84\\28\end{array}\right]  \left \begin{array}{ccc}{0 \  \leq  age   \leq  1 }\\{ 1 \  \leq  age   \leq  2 }\\{2 \  \leq  age  \leq 3}\end{array}\right

i.e after the first year ;

there 1344 members in the first age class

84 members for the second age class; and

28 members for the third age class

Step-by-step explanation:

We can deduce that the age distribution vector x represents the number of population members for each age class; Given that in each class of age there are 112 members present.

The current age distribution vector is as follows:

x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&2\\1&1&2\\1&1&2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}{0 \  \leq  age   \leq  1 }\\{ 0 \  \leq  age   \leq  2 }\\{0 \  \leq  age   \leq 3}\end{array}\right]

Also , the age transition matrix is as follows:

L = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&3\\0.75&0&0 \\0&0.25&0\end{array}\right]

After 1 year ; the age distribution vector will be :

x_2 =Lx_1 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&3\\0.75&0&0 \\0&0.25&0\end{array}\right]  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&2\\1&1&2\\1&1&2\end{array}\right]

= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1344\\84\\28\end{array}\right]  \left \begin{array}{ccc}{0 \  \leq  age   \leq 1 }\\{ 1 \  \leq  age   \leq  2 }\\{2 \  \leq  age   \leq  3}\end{array}\right
