In a chemical process, the amount of a certain type of impurity in the output is difficult to control and is thus a random varia

ble. It is known that the standard deviation of the impurity is 0.0015 following an approximately normal distribution. If a random sample of 75 outputs has an average impurity of 0.310, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of the impurity.

Answer:

+/- 0.00033

Explanation:

For a 95 % confidence interval the range is given by

+/- Z * s/sqrt(n)

where Z value is 1.916 for a 95% confidence interval

Therefore the interval is

s is the standard deviation in this case 0.0015

n is 75 the number of outposts

calculating,

+/- 1.916 * 0.0015/sqrt(75) = +/- 0.00033

Answer:

\\ (Lower\;value =0.3097 ; Upper\;value = 0.3103).

We can also represent it as \\ P(0.3097 \leq \mu \leq 0.3103) = 0.95.

Explanation:

This is a case of finding <em>two values</em> that define an <em>interval</em> in which is included the <em>population mean for the impurity</em> in the chemical process with a probability of 95%.

We have full information to this respect to solve the question:

  1. The <em>population standard deviation</em>, which is \\ \sigma = 0.0015.
  2. The <em>sample mean</em>, which is \\ \bar{x} = 0.310.
  3. The <em>sample size</em> \\ n = 75.

That is, we can find the 95% confidence interval for a <em>given population standard deviation</em>.

The formula for finding these <em>two values, </em>in these conditions,<em> </em>is as follows:

\\ Lower\;value = \bar{x} - 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

\\ Upper\;value = \bar{x} + 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

We have already confirmed that we have all these values: the population standard deviation, the sample mean and the sample size.

The number 1.96 corresponds to a <em>z-score</em> that is<em> 1.96</em> times the standard deviation from the mean, and represents the <em>confidence coefficient</em> and depends on the <em>confidence level</em>, which is in this case of 5% (or 0.05). A confidence level of 5% determines this 95 % confidence interval.

Notice that we are going to use a mean obtained from a sample of 75 elements \\ \bar{x} = 0.310, which represents a <em>sample mean</em>.

As a result, in order to find the two values that define the <em>95% confidence interval, </em>we can proceed as follows:

Lower value of the 95% confidence interval

\\ Lower\;value = \bar{x} - 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

\\ Lower\;value = 0.310 - 1.96\frac{0.0015}{\sqrt{75}}.

\\ Lower\;value =0.3097.

Upper value of the 95% confidence interval

\\ Upper\;value = \bar{x} + 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

\\ Upper\;value = 0.310 + 1.96\frac{0.0015}{\sqrt{75}}.

\\ Upper\;value = 0.3103.

Thus, the 95% confidence interval, or the interval for which there is a probability of 95% to find the population mean for this certain type of impurity:

\\ Lower\;value =0.3097.

\\ Upper\;value = 0.3103.

That is:

\\ P(0.3097 \leq \mu \leq 0.3103) = 0.95.

1. identify whether following have ionic or covalent bonding. Give your reasons: Oxygen molecule, water, calcium oxide, hydrogen
Romashka [77]
First you need to know the different between an ionic and covalent bond. An ionic bond is the pairing of a metal and non-metal element. A covalent bond is the pairing of 2 nonmetals.

Metals are the elements at the left of the periodic table while non-metals are the elements at the right of the periodic table.

You should also know the diatomic (di means 2) molecules also known as the fab 7. These molecules will always form covalent bonds. These molecules are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. With the subscripts, these molecules would be written as H ₂, N ₂, O ₂, F ₂, Cl ₂, Br ₂, and I ₂.

Scientists' belief that an atom is a solid sphere, is good enough to explain; PLZ I HAVE LESS TIME!!!!
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its quite vague, instead you could say an atom is the smallest building block which further consists of subatomic particles like protons, neutrons and electrons :)

Hope thi helps :) and I'd appreciate if you'd mark brainliest because ive been stuck on the same rank for quite a long time :(
