A physicist examines 25 water samples for nitrate concentration. The mean nitrate concentration for the sample data is 0.165 cc/

cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.0783. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the population mean nitrate 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:

The 80% confidence interval for the the population mean nitrate concentration is (0.144, 0.186).

Critical value t=1.318

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 80% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=0.165.

The sample size is N=25.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{0.078}{\sqrt{25}}=\dfrac{0.078}{5}=0.016

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=25-1=24

The t-value for a 80% confidence interval and 24 degrees of freedom is t=1.318.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s_M=1.318 \cdot 0.016=0.021

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 0.165-0.021=0.144\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 0.165+0.021=0.186

The 80% confidence interval for the population mean nitrate concentration is (0.144, 0.186).

URGENT HELP PLEASE!

Answer:

(a) x=\dfrac{\pi}{8},\dfrac{3\pi}{8},\dfrac{9\pi}{8},\dfrac{11\pi}{8}

(b) x=\dfrac{3\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{6},\dfrac{5\pi}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 0\leq x\leq 2\pi.

(a)

\sqrt{2}\sin 2x=1

\sin 2x=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

\sin 2x=\dfrac{\pi}{4}

2x=\dfrac{\pi}{4},\dfrac{3\pi}{4},\dfrac{9\pi}{4},\dfrac{11\pi}{4}     [\because \sin x=\sin y\Rightarrow x=n\pi+(-1)^ny]

x=\dfrac{\pi}{8},\dfrac{3\pi}{8},\dfrac{9\pi}{8},\dfrac{11\pi}{8}

(b)

\csc^2 x-\csc x-2=0

\csc^2 x-2\csc x+\csc x-2=0

\csc x(\csc x-2)+1(\csc x-2)=0

(\csc x+1)(\csc x-2)=0

\csc x=-1\text{ or }\csc x=2

\sin x=-1\text{ or }\sin x=\dfrac{1}{2}         [\because \sin x=\dfrac{1}{\csc x}]

x=\dfrac{3\pi}{2}\text{ or }x=\dfrac{\pi}{6},\dfrac{5\pi}{6}

Therefore, x=\dfrac{3\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{6},\dfrac{5\pi}{6}.

A student can type 65 words in 2 minutes. How many words can student tupe in 20 minutes?
saul85 [17]
650 Because if the student can do 65 words in 2 mins, you would have to do 20 divided by 2 and get 10 then times 10 by 65 which is 650 in 20 mins.
