A physicist examines 4 water samples for mercury concentration. The mean mercury concentration for the sample data is 0.470 cc/c

ubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.0581. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the population mean mercury concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 80% confidence interval for the mean mercury concentration of water samples

Number of samples. n = 4

Mean or average = 0.470 cc/cubic meter

Standard deviation, s = 0.0581

For a confidence level of 80%, the corresponding z value is 1.28. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

0.470 +/- 1.28 × 0.0581/√4

= 0.470 +/- 1.28 × 0.0566/2

= 0.470 +/- 0.036

The lower end of the confidence interval is 0.470 - 0.036 =0.434

The upper end of the confidence interval is 0.470 + 0.036 =0.506

In conclusion, with a 80% confidence interval, the mean lead mean mercury concentration of the water samples is between 0.434 cc/cubic meter and 0.506 cc/cubic meter

A scientist is working with 14 meters of gold wire. How long will the wire be in millimeters?
Tcecarenko [31]
In a meter there are 100 cm.
In 100 cm there are 1000 mm. 

Therefore in 1 meter you have 1000 millimeters. 

Then to find out how many millimeters you have in 14 meters, you just multiply 14 by 1000 to give you 14000 mm.

Final answer= 14 m of gold wire is the equivalent to 14000 mm of wire.

How do I find the value of X and Y
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

x= -3.6

y= -2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

9x +17 =3x-5 ( interior angles are equal)

9x-3x +17= 3x-3x -5

6x+ 17+ 5= -5+5

6x/6= -22/6

x= -3.6

3x-5= 6y+1 ( vertical angles)

3(-3.6) -5 = 6y+ 1

-10.8 -5 -1= 6y +1 -1

-16.8 = 6y

-16.8/6 = 6y/6

y= -2.8

Carmella is purchasing a $105,000 home and her bank is offering her a 30-
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$132.93

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use annuity formula, which is:

P=C[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r}]

Where P is the loan amount

C is the monthly payment

r is the rate of interest [monthly]

n is the time period [in months]

Firstly, let's calculate her normal monthly payment (without purchasing points):

P is 105,000

C is what we need to find

r is the 0.045/12 = 0.00375

n is 12*30 = 360

Now, we have:

P=C[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r}]\\105,000=C[\frac{1-(1+0.00375)^{-360}}{0.00375}]\\105,000=C[197.3612]\\C=532.02

So <u>monthly payment would be around $532.02</u>

<u />

Now,

With each point purchase, the interest rate goes down by 0.25%, so for 2 points it will be 4.5% - 2(0.25) = 4%

Also, since 20% downpayment, the loan amount would be (0.8)(105,000) = 84,000.

Now, putting these values into the annuity formula we have:

84,000=C[\frac{1-(1+0.0033)^{-360}}{0.0033}]\\84,000=C(210.4766)\\C=399.09

The <u>monthly payment would be around $399.09</u>

<u />

The amount that is lower is  532.02 - 399.09 = $132.93
