A production process fills containers by weight. Weights of containers are approximately normally distributed. Historically, the

standard deviation of weights is 5.5 ounces. (This standard deviation is therefore known.) A quality control expert selects n containers at random. How large a sample would be required in order for the 99% confidence interval for to have a length of 2 ounces?
a. n  15
b. n  16
c. n  201
d. n  226

Answer:

option (c) n = 201

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard deviation, s = 5.5 ounce

Confidence level = 99%

Length of confidence interval = 2 ounces

Therefore,

margin of error, E = (Length of confidence interval ) ÷ 2

= 2 ÷ 2

= 1 ounce

Now,

E = \frac{zs}{\sqrt n}

here,

z = 2.58 for 99% confidence interval

n = sample size

thus,

1 = \frac{2.58\times5.5}{\sqrt n}

or

n = (2.58 × 5.5)²

or

n = 201.3561 ≈ 201

Hence,

option (c) n = 201

Murrr4er [49]
The term (2 + 8) is described as the total amount of pieces of fabric. It makes it easier to put this term this way so you wouldn't have to do (8 x 5) + (2 x 5) and do the distributive property.

The graph of y = StartAbsoluteValue x EndAbsoluteValue is transformed as shown in the graph below. Which equation represents the
iogann1982 [59]

Using translation concepts, it is found that the equation of the transformed function is:

y = |x + 3| - 2.

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

The absolute value function is given by y = |x|, and has vertex at (0,0). After the transformations, the function has vertex (-3, -2), which means that:

  • It was shifted 3 units to the left, hence x -> x + 3.
  • It was shifted 2 units down, hence y -> y - 2.

Thus, the equation of the function is now given by:

y = |x + 3| - 2.
