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).

Answer:

105 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the base is a rectangle, that is the best place to start. The first step is to multiply 5 by 6 which results in a base area of 30 inches. Because it is a triangular prism, we then multiply the base and divide by two. The formula for this equation is V=(width*length*height)/2

The final answer is 105

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well....if 1/7 liters  of milk makes 1/6 of a jug

Then  six times this must be a full jug....so

6*(1/7)   =

6/7 liters of milk  required

i hope this helps you happy holidays let me know if you need more information

Identify the values that will make this equation true (x+1)(x+2)=0
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

-1, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since multiplication by 0 will result in 0, any value of x resulting in 0

(-1+1)(-1+2)=0

0x1=0

(-2+1)(-2+2)=0

-1x0=0
