ASK YOUR TEACHER An article reported that for a sample of 42 kitchens with gas cooking appliances monitored during a one-week pe

riod, the sample mean CO2 level (ppm) was 654.16, and the sample standard deviation was 165.23. (a) Calculate and interpret a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for true average CO2 level in the population of all homes from which the sample was selected. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Answer:

654.16-2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=602.66    

654.16+2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=705.66    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (602.66;705.66)

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=654.16 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=165.23 represent the sample standard deviation

n=42 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=42-1=41

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: "=-T.INV(0.025,41)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.02

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

654.16-2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=602.66    

654.16+2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=705.66    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (602.66;705.66)

Solve for c.<br><br> 5c+16.5=13.5+10c
Kruka [31]

Answer:

c = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5c+16.5=13.5+10c

Subtract 5c from each side

5c-5c+16.5=13.5+10c-5c

16.5 = 13.5 +5c

Subtract 13.5 from each side

16.5 -13.5 =13.5-13.5 +5c

3 = 5c

Divide by 5

3/5 = 5c/5

3/5 =c

True or false the measures of an exterior angle and the adjacent interior angle add up to 360 because they form a linear pair
enot [183]

THe given statement is " the measures of an exterior angle and the adjacent interior angle add up to 360 because they form a linear pair  " .

And in a linear pair, the sum of the measures of exterior angle and adjacent interior angle is 180.

But in the statement, it is given that the sum is 360 degree.

So the given statement is false .
