9.2 An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed with a sta

ndard deviation of 40 hours. If a sample of 30 bulbs has an average life of 780 hours, find a 96% confidence interval for the population mean of all bulbs produced by this firm.

Answer:

765,795 = 96%

Step-by-step explanation:

confidence interval = 0.04  

The Za/2 theorem = 1/2 = 0.04/2 = 0.02= /x = 720z

If ; 0.02 = 2.05  then the interval is 780-2.05 x 40/√30 x 780+2.05 x 30/√30 = 765,795 = 96%

We see 40/ √30 which is found in equation of finding the sample mean at point /x = 720z

σ 40/ n√30 = 7.3029674334 and is simply a fraction of /x 720z

By normal distribution we find

The 96% confidence interval for the population mean of all bulbs = 765,795

As 765, x 1.04 = 795 = 765, 795

To find Sampling mean.

The Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean. If repeated random samples of a given size n are taken from a population of values for a quantitative variable, where the population mean is μ (mu) and the population standard deviation is σ (sigma) then the mean of all sample means (x-bars) is population mean μ (mu).

Confidence Level z*-value

80% 1.28

90% 1.645 (by convention)

95% 1.96

96% 2.05

98% 2.33

99% 2.58

A brand of crackers is sold in a box shaped like a rectangular prism. The box has a length of 13 cm, a width of 8 cm, and a heig
gregori [183]

Answer:

LxWxH

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume can be calculated by using the formula: (length) x (width) x (height)

In this particular question, you are given the length as 13cm, the width as 8cm, and the height of 22cm.

To obtain the volume, you should plug these numbers into the formula (length) x (width) x (height)

When plugged in, the equation should look like this: (13cm) x (8cm) x (22cm).

When 13 x 8 x 22 =2288cm

Since you are calculating the volume, the answer will be given in centimeters cubed, so your final answer will be 2,288cm^3

Hope this explanation helps :)

Deion divided 1/2 of a liter of plant fertilizer evenly among some smaller bottles. He put 1/8 of a liter into each bottle. How
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

4 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Fertilizer = \frac{1}{2}L

Bottles = \frac{1}{8}L

Required

Determine the number of bottles

Represent the number of bottles with N

<em>This implies that N bottles of </em>\frac{1}{8}L<em> fit into </em>\frac{1}{2}L<em> of fertilizer. The relationship between them is:</em>

<em></em>Fertilizer =  Bottles * N

\frac{1}{2}L = \frac{1}{8}L* N

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}* N

Multiply through by 8

8 * \frac{1}{2} = 8 * \frac{1}{8}* N

4 = 1* N

4 = N

N = 4

<em>Hence, there are  N = 4</em>

Determine the inverse of f(x)=3x+4 algebraically
Fed [463]

Answer:

1/3x +4

is the inverse of f(x) = 3x + 4.

Check:

The purpose of the inverse property of multiplication is to get a product of one. So the inverse multiplied with the original number (or equation) should give us the product of one.

1 / (3x + 4) * 3x + 4 = 3x+4 / 3x+ 4 = 1

Can you ever use a calculator to determine if a number is rational or irrational?
timofeeve [1]
A rational number is simply a term that can be expressed as a fraction. Otherwise, that is an irrational number. So, you can use a calculator to verify if the number is rational or not.

The key characteristic of an irrational number is when it contains a long line of decimal places. For example, the term π and the Euler's number e are irrational numbers. The exact values of π and e are 3.14159 and <span>2.71828182846, respectively. In reality, those decimal places go on a long way. Particularly, </span>π<span> has a total of 2.7 trillion digits. Numbers inside radicals or roots can also be irrational numbers. For example </span>√3 is irrational because it is equal to 1.732050808. However, not all radicals are irrational. For example √15.3664 is equal to 98/25 or 3.92. That is a rational number. So, therefore, use the calculator to know the exact value of the term to properly distinguish rational from irrational.
