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.

Points M and N are both on ZB with M between Z and N. ZM = 10
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Your answer is 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 20 units between Z and B.

We add 2 more points, and one of them is at the the halfway point of the entire line.(M)

One of them is only 2 units away from B.(N)

That means our line is halved, so from 20/20 possible places a point could go and land in the right area is now 10/20.

Minus 2 from that; to take into count of the N to B, and you have 8/20

8/20 is just 40%

You plan to conduct a survey to find what proportion of the workforce has two or more jobs. You decide on the 95% confidence lev
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

865

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that in 95% confidence level the value of z has a value of 1.96. This can be confirmed in the attached image of the normal distribution.

Now we have the following formula:

n = [z / E] ^ 2 * (p * q)

where n is the sample size, which is what we want to calculate, "E" is the error that is 2% or 0.02. "p" is the probability they give us, 5 out of 50, is the same as 1 out of 10, that is 0.1. "q" is the complement of p, that is, 1 - 0.1 = 0.9, that is, the value of q is 0.9.

Replacing these values we are left with:

n = [1.96 / 0.02] ^ 2 * [(0.1) * (0.9)]

n = 864.36

865 by rounding to the largest number.
