Answer:

There is a 95% confidence that the sample has a mean between 158.92 pounds and 171.48 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that mean (μ) = 165.2 pounds, standard deviation (σ) = 12.4 pounds, sample size (n) = 15 crates. Confidence (C) = 95% = 0.95

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

The z score of α/2 corresponds to the z score of 0.475 (0.5 - 0.025) which is 1.96. z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }=1.96

The margin of error (E) is given by:

E=z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =1.96*\frac{12.4}{\sqrt{15} }= 6.28

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 165.2 ± 6.28 = (158.92, 171.48)

The confidence interval is between 158.92 pounds and 171.48 pounds. There is a 95% confidence that the sample has a mean between 158.92 pounds and 171.48 pounds

Which graph shows the solution set of x^2+9x-22/x+4<_0
motikmotik

Answer:

The Tasty Beans Coffee House being planned for the corner of SE 12th and Main will ruin a perfectly nice neighborhood. Besides the fact that Tasty Beans already has coffee shops all over the city, it will pull business away from local coffee houses that have been here for decades. In addition, there is already a parking problem on that street, and the new business will just add to the congestion. They're planning a drive-up window, too, and that will mean a steady stream of traffic in a very high-volume area. Ask anyone walking down the street, and they'll tell you this is a bad idea. I speak for my whole neighborhood when I say, "Go away, Tasty Beans!"
