The Wisconsin Dairy Association is interested in estimating the mean weekly consumption of milk for adults over the age of 18 in

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$ME = 1.653 *\frac{7.9}{\sqrt{300}}= \pm 0.75$

±0.75 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: The Wisconsin Dairy Association is interested in estimating the mean weekly consumption of milk for adults over the age of 18 in that state. To do this, they have selected a random sample of 300 people from the designated population. The following results were recorded: xbar=34.5 ounces, s=7.9 ounces Given this information, if the leaders wish to estimate the mean milk consumption with 90 percent confidence, what is the approximate margin of error in the estimate?

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".

$\bar X=34.5$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=7.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=300 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=300-1=299$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,199)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.653$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = 1.653 *\frac{7.9}{\sqrt{300}}= \pm 0.75$

Can someone plz help me with this problem and plz show work.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 5

the slope (m) of this line is 2 (which can be written as 2/1)

The slope of a perpendicular line is -1/m (the reciprocal of the slope with the opposite sign)

so m = 2/1 => -1/m = - 1/2 = the slope of a line perpendicular to y = 2x + 5

One x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (4,0). Find the other x-intercept for the parabola defined by this equation y=x^2

yanalaym [24]

Probably the easiest way to do this is to use synthetic division. We already know one of the zeros of the quadratic so we can use that number to find the other zero. If the point is (4, 0), then when y = 0, x = 4. Thus, 4 is a zero. Put 4 outside the "box" and put the coefficients from the quadratic inside, like this: 4 (1 -1 -12). Draw a line and bring down the first one under it. Multiply that 1 by the 4 to get 4. Put that 4 up under the -1 and add to get 3. Multiply 3 by 4 to get 12. Put that 12 up under the -12 and add to get 0. The numbers left under the line are the coefficients for the next polynomial, called the depressed polynomial, and this polyomial is one degree less than the one we started with. Those coefficients are 1 and 3. Therefore, the polynomial is x + 3 = 0. That means that the other zero, or x-intercept, is x = -3.
