Answer:
The 90% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is between 20.3 milligrams and 30.3 milligrams.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.
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 = 9 - 1 = 8
90% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 8 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of
. So we have T = 1.8595
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 1.8595*2.7 = 5
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 25.3 - 5 = 20.3 milligrams
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 25.3 + 5 = 30.3 milligrams.
The 90% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is between 20.3 milligrams and 30.3 milligrams.
Answer:
a) 1/64
b) 1/4096
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can tell from the example, the exponent of 1/2 is the number of heads in a row.
a) p(6 heads in a row) = (1/2)^6 = 1/(2^6) = 1/64
b) p(12 heads in a row) = (1/2)^12 = 1/(2^12) = 1/4096
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The probability of a head is 1/2 because we generally are concerned with a "fair coin." That is defined as a coin in which each of the 2 possible outcomes has the same probability, 1/2. Similarly, a "fair number cube" has 6 faces, and the probability of each is defined to be the same as any other, 1/6. Loaded dice and unfair coins do sometimes show up in probability problems.
Hi there!
8 would be the nearest ten of 7.995..
<em><u>1.Multiply 82 with 0.01:</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>·</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>2.Multiply the terms:</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>·</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>3.Round the term:</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u /></em>
Therefore, 82% of 9.75 in nearest tenth is 8.
