Evaluate −9 − (−4). 5 −5 13 −13

Mathematics

padilas [110]3 years ago

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate  -9-(-4).

This is the same as -9+4.

We can again rewrite this as 4-9

Since we are subtracting a larger number from a smaller number, the result will be negative.

Therefore our expression evaluates to -5

The second option is correct.

-5, because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, which will bring -9 up to -5

Let its width be w and length= w+6
2(w+6+w)=52
4w+12=52
4w=40
w=10

Part I - To help consumers assess the risks they are taking, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes the amount of nico
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

(I) 99% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is [24.169 mg , 30.431 mg].

(II) No, since the value 28.4 does not fall in the 98% confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a new cigarette has recently been marketed.

The FDA tests on this cigarette gave a mean nicotine content of 27.3 milligrams and standard deviation of 2.8 milligrams for a sample of 9 cigarettes.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                                  P.Q. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean nicotine content = 27.3 milligrams

            s = sample standard deviation = 2.8 milligrams

            n = sample of cigarettes = 9

            \mu = true mean nicotine content

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

<u>Part I</u> : So, 99% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-3.355 < t_8 < 3.355) = 0.99  {As the critical value of t at 8 degree

                                      of freedom are -3.355 & 3.355 with P = 0.5%}  

P(-3.355 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 3.355) = 0.99

P( -3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

P( \bar X-3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

<u />

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+3.355 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                          = [ 27.3-3.355 \times {\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9} } } , 27.3+3.355 \times {\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9} } } ]

                                          = [27.3 \pm 3.131]

                                          = [24.169 mg , 30.431 mg]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is [24.169 mg , 30.431 mg].

<u>Part II</u> : We are given that the FDA tests on this cigarette gave a mean nicotine content of 24.9 milligrams and standard deviation of 2.6 milligrams for a sample of n = 9 cigarettes.

The FDA claims that the mean nicotine content exceeds 28.4 milligrams for this brand of cigarette, and their stated reliability is 98%.

The Pivotal quantity for 98% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                                  P.Q. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean nicotine content = 24.9 milligrams

            s = sample standard deviation = 2.6 milligrams

            n = sample of cigarettes = 9

            \mu = true mean nicotine content

<em>Here for constructing 98% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 98% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.896 < t_8 < 2.896) = 0.98  {As the critical value of t at 8 degree

                                       of freedom are -2.896 & 2.896 with P = 1%}  

P(-2.896 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.896) = 0.98

P( -2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.98

P( \bar X-2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.98

<u />

<u>98% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+2.896 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                          = [ 24.9-2.896 \times {\frac{2.6}{\sqrt{9} } } , 24.9+2.896 \times {\frac{2.6}{\sqrt{9} } } ]

                                          = [22.4 mg , 27.4 mg]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is [22.4 mg , 27.4 mg].

No, we don't agree on the claim of FDA that the mean nicotine content exceeds 28.4 milligrams for this brand of cigarette because as we can see in the above confidence interval that the value 28.4 does not fall in the 98% confidence interval.

What is the maximum amount of baggage that may be loaded aboard the airplane for the cg to remain within the moment envelope? we
Korvikt [17]
<span>You are to find the maximum amount of baggage that may be loaded aboard the airplane for the cg (center of gravity) to remain within the moment envelope.

In order to solve this, there is a graph that shows the load weight and the load moment of pilot and front passenger, fuel, rear passenger and passenger including the baggage. Using the given data such as pilot and front passenger 250, the load moment is 9 lbs/in, for the rear passenger at 400lbs, the load moment is 28.5 lbs/in, the fuel at 30 gal has a load moment of 2 lbs/in and oil at 8 quarters is 15 lbs. The total weight is 1,350 + 250 + 400 + 15 is 2015 lbs.</span>
