An ancient Chinese candle clock tells the amount of time that has passed by the amount of wax that has been melted off the candl

e. Each candle is divided into 121212 sections, marked 111 inch (\text{in})(in)(, start text, i, n, end text, )apart. It takes 444 hours (\text{hrs})(hrs)(, start text, h, r, s, end text, )for each candle to completely melt, after which a new candle is lit.

Answer:

Time = 560\ mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Candles = 2 --- candles melted

Divisions = 12

Time = 4\ hrs --- time to melt

Required

The time since the first was lit

If 1 candle melts in 4 hours, 2 candles will melt in 8 hours.

i.e.

x = Candles * Time

x = 2 * 4hrs

x = 8hrs

For the 3rd candle that has melted, 4 inches

First, calculate the fraction that melt

Fraction = \frac{Melt}{Division}

Fraction = \frac{4}{12}

Fraction = \frac{1}{3}

The time to melt is:

y = Fraction * Time

y= 4 * \frac{1}{3}

y= \frac{4}{3}hrs

So, the required time is:

Time = x + y

Time = 8hrs + \frac{4}{3}hrs

Convert to minutes

Time = 8*60mins + \frac{4}{3}*60mins

Time = 480mins + 80mins

Time = 560\ mins

A news report states that the 99% confidence interval for the mean number of daily calories consumed by participants in a medica
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The sample mean is of 1925 calories.

The margin of error is of 75 calories.

The sample standard deviation is of 109.7992 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample mean:

The sample mean is the mean value of the two bounds of the confidence interval. So

M = \frac{1850 + 2000}{2} = 1925

The sample mean is of 1925 calories.

The margin of error

Difference between the bounds and the sample mean. So

2000 - 1925 = 1925 - 1850 = 75 calories.

The margin of error is of 75 calories.

Sample standard deviation:

Here, I am going to expand on the t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.898

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

Since M = 75, T = 2.898, n = 18

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

75 = 2.898\frac{s}{\sqrt{18}}

s = \frac{75\sqrt{18}}{2.898}

s = 109.7992

The sample standard deviation is of 109.7992 calories.
