Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (2.804;3.196)    

Step-by-step explanation:

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=3.0 represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=1 represent the population standard deviation

n=100 represent the sample size  

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

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

3.0-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=2.804    

3.0+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}=3.196

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (2.804;3.196)

Find the constant of proportionality (k). Using the value for k, enter an equation in the form of y = kx.
kow [346]

Answer:

k = 4, y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we get the ratio of :

x : y = 1 : 4

Two variables are proportional to each other if their ration is constant. The constant value is denoted by 'k' and is called as constant of proportionality.

In the question, the two variables are :

x = glasses of lemonade

y = lemons used

From the question, the ratio of y is to x is given by :

y : x is   24 : 6 = 4 : 1     or   24/6 = 4

            32 : 8 = 4 : 1     or   32/8 = 4

            28 : 7 = 4 : 1     or   28/7 = 4

             8 : 2 = 4 : 1      or   8/2 = 4

            16 : 4 = 4 : 1     or   16/4 = 4

So here the constant is 4 . Therefore, the constant of proportionality, k is 4.

So we can write the equation as :

y = kx

or y = 4x
