Complete question
A chocolate chip cookie manufacturing company recorded the number of chocolate chips in a sample of 50 cookies. The mean is 23.33 and the standard deviation is 2.6. Construct a 80% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the numbers of chocolate chips in all such cookies.
Solution
Given
n=50
x=23.33
s=2.6
Alpha = 1-0.80 = 0.20
X^2(a/2,n-1) = X^2(0.10, 49) = 63.17
sqrt(63.17) = 7.948
X^2(1 - a/2,n-1) = X^2(0.90, 49) = 37.69
sqrt(37.69) = 6.139
s*sqrt(n-1) = 18.2
confidence interval:
(18.2/7.948) < S < (18.2/6.139)
2.290 < S < 2.965
Answer: total number of teaspoons of spices in the dish =3.25 teaspoons
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Listing the spices and their quantities , we have
Salt = 1/2 teaspoon
Orégano =1 1/4 teaspoon =5/4 teaspoons
Basil = 3/4 teaspoon
Pepper= in half as much pepper as salt -- This means that the quantity of pepper should be 50% more in quantity than salt
Therefore quantity of pepper = 50% x 1/2 = 0.5 x 0.5= 0.25
0.25 + 1/2 = 0.25 + 0.5 = 0.75 = 3/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Step 2
Adding the amount of spices we have
1/2 + 5/4+ 3/4+ 3/4 = 2+ 5+3+ 3/4 = 13/4 = 3 1/4 teaspoons of spices = 3.25 teaspoons of spices .
Answer:
The numbers are 14 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one of the numbers be x. The second number we are told is 3 less than twice x. The second number will thus be;
2x - 3
The sum of the numbers is thus;
x + (2x - 3) = 3x - 3
But the sum of the numbers is said to be 39, therefore;
3x - 3 = 39
3x = 42
x = 14
The second number is thus;
2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25
Answer:
X=15
Step-by-step explanation:
A +B + C = 180
2x +4x+ 6x = 180
12x =180
X= 15
