A geologist examines 6 seawater samples for lead concentration. The mean lead concentration for the sample data is 0.903 cc/cubi

c meter with a standard deviation of 0.0566 . Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean lead concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean lead concentration of sea water samples

Number of samples. n = 6

Mean, u = 0.903 cc/cubic meter

Standard deviation, s = 0.0566

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

0.903 +/- 1.96 × 0.0566/√6

= 0.903 +/- 1.96 × 0.0566/2.44948974278

= 0.903 +/- 0.045

The lower end of the confidence interval is 0.903 - 0.045 =0.858

The upper end of the confidence interval is 0.903 + 0.045 =0.948

Therefore, with 95% confidence interval, the mean lead concentration of the sea water is between 0.858 cc/cubic meter and 0.948 cc/cubic meter

stich3 [128]

Answer:

11 \frac{3}{4} min

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must subtract the times he has already used from the time he has available, so we get:

30-11 \frac{3}{4} - 6 \frac{1}{2}

we can start solving this subtraction by turning all of the numbers into improper fractions so we get:

\frac{30}{1}-\frac{11*4+3}{4}- \frac{6*2+1}{2}

\frac{30}{1}-\frac{47}{4}- \frac{13}{2}

next, we can find a least common denominator. In this case it will be 4, so we need to turn all denominators into a 4, so we get:

\frac{30*4}{1*4}-\frac{47}{4}- \frac{13*2}{2*2}

\frac{120}{4}-\frac{47}{4}- \frac{26}{4}

and now we can subtract the numerators and copy the denominators so we get:

\frac{120-47-26}{4}

\frac{47}{4}

which can now be turned into a mixed number by dividing 47/4 which yields 11 with a remainder of 3, so the mixed number is:

11 \frac{3}{4} min

and this is the amount of time he has available to solve the las problem.

Solve each equation<br><br> 4x+6=8x-10
ivolga24 [154]

4x+6=8x-10

Subtract 4x from both sides

6=4x-10

Add 10 to both sides

16=4x

Divide 4 on both sides

Final Answer: 4=x
