A product comes in cans labeled "38 oz". A random sample of 10 cans had the following weights:
1 answer:
Answer:
b. 35.9, 39.1 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
barX=37.465 represent the sample mean for the sample
population mean (variable of interest)
s=2.27 represent the sample standard deviation
n=10 represent the sample size
Confidence interval
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
barX +- t*[(s)/(sqrt{n))] (1)
In order to calculate the critical value t we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:
df=n-1=10-1=9
Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that t_(alpha/2)=2.26
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):
37.465-2.26[(2.27)/(sqrt{10))]=35.9
37.465+2.26[(2.27)/(sqrt{10))]=39.1
So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (35.9;39.1)

Given that a triangle in the coordinate plane has coordinates of (3, 5), (1, −3), and (−3, 4). Now these points are translated and the new coordinates are (1, 7), (−1, −1), and (−5, 6).
Questioon says to find which type of translation occured from the given choices.
It can be easily found by drawing the given coordinates.
Original position of the triangle is drawn in Brwon colour.
New position of the triangle is drawn in Green colour.
From graph we can clearly see that each of the original coordinate moves two unit left then 2 units upward to get new coordinate.
Hence choice "A) It moved left two units and up two units." is the final answer.
