You measure 25 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 31 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 12.8

ounces. Based on this, what is the maximal margin of error associated with a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight. Give your answer as a decimal, to two places

Answer:

Margin of error = 4.21 ounces  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given That, You measure 25 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 31 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 12.8 ounces

Therefore, Sample mean = 31 ounces  ,  Sample size(n) = 25 , Alpha(α) = 0.10 & Population standard deviation(σ) = 12.8 ounces

  • Thus, Margin of error  = Z_{critical} × σ / √n  (Z_{critical} at α=.010 is 1.645)

Putting The Values, We get

1.645 × (12.8 / √25 ) ⇒ 4.2112 ≈ 4.21

Thus, the maximum margin of error associated with a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight is 4.21 ounces

Answer:

p-value: 1.000

There is enough evidence at the 1% level of significance to suggest that the proportions are not equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will be conducting a difference of 2 proportions hypothesis test

The hypothesis for this test is:

H_0:  p1 - p2=0

H_a:  p1 - p2  ≠0

(p1 ) = 252/300 = 0.84

(p2) = 195/300 = 0.65

This is a 2 tailed test with a significance level of 1%.  So our critical values are:  z > 2.575  and z < -2.575

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the correct answer because the other 3 points are not correct when you put the numbers into the equation.

y = 16 + 0.5x

20 = 16 + 0.5(8)

20 = 20

Find (g • f) ^(3) PLEASE HELLPP
spayn [35]
The first thing we are going to do to find (g°f)(3), is find (g°f)(x). To do that, we are going to evaluate g(x) at f(x):
(g°f)(x)=g(f(x))=g(3x-2)=(3x-2)^2=9x^2-12x+4

Now, we can evaluate (g°f) at 3:
g(f(3))=9(3)^2-12(3)+4
g(f(3))=9(9)-36+4
g(f(3))=81-32
g(f(3))=49

We can conclude that the correct answer is c. 49
