Answer:
90% confidence interval for the true mean weight of orders is between a lower limit of 103.8645 grams and an upper limit of 116.1355 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval for true mean weight is given as sample mean +/- margin of error (E)
sample mean = 110 g
sample sd = 14 g
n = 16
degree of freedom = n - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15
confidence level = 90% = 0.9
significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 = 10%
critical value (t) corresponding to 15 degrees of freedom and 10% significance level is 1.753
E = t × sample sd/√n = 1.753×14/√16 = 6.1355 g
Lower limit of sample mean = sample mean - E = 110 - 6.1355 = 103.8645 g
Upper limit of sample mean = sample mean + E = 110 + 6.1355 = 116.1355 g
90% confidence interval is (103.8645, 116.1355)
I think this a linear function. The graph has a constant flow of going up. In other words, it is linear.
He earned $325 because 900 divided by 4% = $225! :)
<u>Let's solve this problem step-by-step</u>
<u>Let's set</u>:
2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1
x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2
(equation 2) * 2
2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3
(equation 3) - (equation 1)
2y = 4
y = 2 -- equation 4
Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)
x + 4(2) = 20
x = 20 - 8
x = 12
<u>Thus x = 12 and y = 2</u>
<u>Let's check, by substituting these values</u>
<u>Answer: x = 12 and y = 2</u>
Hope that helps!
