Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a random sample of 300 boards the number of boards that fall outside the specification is 12.

Compute the sample proportion of boards that fall outside the specification in this sample as follows:

\hat p =\frac{12}{300}=0.04

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion <em>p</em> is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is,

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.04\pm1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{300}}\\=0.04\pm0.022\\=(0.018, 0.062)\\\approx(1.8\%, 6.2\%)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

On a certain function machine, an input of 3 has an output of -6. An input of -2 has an output of 4. An input of 0 has an output
horrorfan [7]
Input of 3.....output of -6.......(3 * -2 = -6)
input of -2....output of 4........(-2 * -2 = 4)
input of 0....output of 0.........(0 * -2 = 0)

function rule : multiply the input by -2

Answer:

1. 5700mg

2. 1000cm

3. 0.0453m

4. 37.5 kg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1gram (g) =1000milligrams(mg)

5.70×1000=5700mg

2. 1 m= 100cm

10×100=1000cm

3. 1000mm=1m

45.3/1000=0.0453m

4. 1000g=1kg

37.5/1000=0.0375

1000ml=1L

1ml= 1/1000= 0.001L

0.0375/0.001= 37.5 kg/L
