Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval for the mean noise level = [122.44, 151.96]

b) Sample standard deviation, s = 17.3dB

Explanation:

Noise levels at 5 airports = 147,123,119,161,136

Mean noise level

        \bar{x} =\frac{ 147+123+119+161+136}{5}=137.2dB

Variance of noise level

        \sigma^2 =\frac{ (137.2-147)^2+(137.2-123)^2+(137.2-119)^2+(137.2-161)^2+(137.2-136)^2}{5}\\\\\sigma^2=164.16

Standard deviation,

       \sigma =\sqrt{164.16}=12.81dB

a) Confidence interval  is given by

       \bar{x}-Z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\leq \mu\leq \bar{x}+Z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

For 99% confidence interval Z = 2.576,

Number of noises, n = 5

Substituting

    137.2-2.576\times \frac{12.81}{\sqrt{5}}\leq \mu\leq 137.2+2.576\times \frac{12.81}{\sqrt{5}}\\\\122.44\leq \mu\leq 151.96

The 99% confidence interval for the mean noise level = [122.44, 151.96]

b) Sample standard deviation

        s=\sqrt{\frac{ (137.2-147)^2+(137.2-123)^2+(137.2-119)^2+(137.2-161)^2+(137.2-136)^2}{5-1}}\\\\s=17.3dB

   Sample standard deviation, s = 17.3dB

If the mass of an object increases, how is its acceleration affected, assuming the net force acting on the object remains the sa
vovikov84 [41]
Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
  
          F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.

CaHeK987 [17]

The density of sample is 5 g/cm3

Given:

volume of sample = 20 cm3

mass of sample = 100 grams

To Find:

density of sample

Solution: Density is the measure of how much “stuff” is in a given amount of space. For example, a block of the heavier element lead (Pb) will be denser than the softer, lighter element gold (Au). A block of Styrofoam is less dense than a brick. It is defined as mass per unit volume

density = mass/volume

d = 100/20

d = 5 g/cm3

So, density of sample is 5 g/cm3

Iteru [2.4K]
The incorrect statement about electromagnetic waves is C. induction of electric fields by changing magnetic fields only occurs if a conducting material is present.
Electromagnetic waves do not rely on any medium for propagation, which means that the generation of fields is irrespective of the presence of a conducting material.
