Use technology and the given confidence level and sample data to find the confidence interval for the population mean muμ. Assum
Ronch [10]

Answer:

a.  μ_{95%} = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Explanation:

a. The population mean can be determined using a confidence interval which is made up of a point estimate from a given sample and the calculation error margin. Thus:

μ_{95%} = x_±(t*s)/sqrt(n)

where:

μ_{95%} = = is the 95% confidence interval estimate

x_ = mean of the sample = 3

s = standard deviation of the sample = 5.8

n = size of the sample = 41

t = the t statistic for 95% confidence and 40 (n-1) degrees of freedom = 2.021

substituting all the variable, we have:

μ_{95%} = 3 ± (2.021*5.8)/sqrt(41) = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Using the the Central Limit Theorem which states that regardless of the distribution shape of the underlying population, a sampling distribution of size which is ≥ 30 is normally distributed.

4 (JAMB) The diagram below shows a light see-saw, which is balanced horizontally by the weights W₁, W2, W3, W4 in the positions
damaskus [11]

The equation that represents the principle of the lever balance is:

  • W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4; option A.

<h3>What is the principle of moments?</h3>

The principle of moments states when a body is in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moment about a point equals the sum of anticlockwise moment about that point.

A see-saw represents a balanced system of moments.

The sum of clockwise moment = The sum of anticlockwise moments.

Assuming W1 and W2 are clockwise moments and W3 and W4 are anticlockwise moments.

The equation will b:  W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4

In conclusion, a balanced see-saw illustrates the principle of the lever balance.

Fifteen grams of substance X at 95 degrees Celsius is mixed with 45 grams of substance Z at 85 degrees Celsius in a container wh
Viefleur [7K]
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:

H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.

So the law of conservation of heat tells that:

Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X

Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

Energy is the ability to do work. True or false
Blababa [14]
Work can be defined as the energy transferred from a body to its sorroundings, the energy spent to move a body, or the energy you need to alter a charged particle, so no energy, no work; thus, the statement is true.
