A chemist examines 15 geological samples for potassium chloride concentration. The mean potassium chloride concentration for the

sample data is 0.376 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.0012. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean potassium chloride concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal.
Required:
Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (0.375,0.377)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 0.376 cc/cubic meter

Sample size, n = 15

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.0012

Degree of freedom =

=n-1\\=15-1\\=14

95% Confidence interval:  

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 14 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.145  

0.376 \pm 2.145(\dfrac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}} )\\\\ = 0.376 \pm 0.0006\\\\ = (0.3754,0.3766)\approx (0.375,0.377)  

(0.375,0.377) is the required 95% confidence interval for the population mean potassium chloride concentration.

Can someone please answer this please!
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

T = ±22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

0=−16t2+7744

Step 1: Add 16t^2 to both sides.

0+16t2=−16t2+7744+16t2

16t2=7744

Step 2: Divide both sides by 16.

16t2

16

=

7744

16

t2=484

Step 3: Take square root.

t=±√484

t=22 or t=−22

Does the point (0, 0) satisfy the equation y = 9x?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

yes it does

Step-by-step explanation:

because the equation y=9x does not have a y-intercept (all slopes come in the form y=mx+b -- it can be written differently though) and since there is no 'b' that means the y-intercept is 0. So whenever there is no y-intercept, the slope starts at 0.

Make a subject of r = square root of a / 3
hodyreva [135]
Multiply both sides by 3 to get:

3r = sqrt(A)

Square both sides:

9r^2 = A
