An unconfined compression test was performed to determine the average strength of concrete cylinders (in psi). It is believed th

at the strength is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 256 psi. A sample of 70 concrete cylinders was taken, and it was found that the average strength was 3000 psi. Find a 91% confidence interval for the true average strength of the concrete.
Be sure to:

• State the value for α.
• State whether you should use z or t and find the appropriate value. Round z-values to 2 decimals. Round t-values to 3 decimals.
• Find the confidence interval (to 2 decimals). State the parameter your confidence interval is for.
• Write a verbal interpretation of your confidence interval.

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

The confidence level is, 91%.

Compute the value of α as follows:

\text{Confidence level}\% =(100-\alpha \%)\\\\91% = 100-\alpha \%\\\\\alpha \%=100-91\%\\\\\alpha \%=9\%\\\\\alpha =0.09

(2)

As the population standard deviation is provided, i.e. <em>σ</em> = 256 psi, the <em>z</em> value would be appropriate.

The <em>z</em> value for α = 0.09 is,

<em>z</em> = 1.69

(3)

Compute the 91% confidence interval as follows:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

     =3000\pm 1.69\cdot\frac{256}{\sqrt{70}}\\\\=3000\pm 51.71\\\\=(2942.29, 3057.71)

(4)

The 91% confidence interval for population mean implies that there is a 0.91 probability that the true value of the mean is included in the interval, (2942.29, 3057.71) psi.

(x – 2)^2 + 20 = 0
seraphim [82]

Answer:

x = 2  ± 2 sqrt(5)i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x – 2)^2 + 20 = 0

Subtract 20 from each side

(x – 2)^2 + 20 -20=0 -20

(x – 2)^2 =- 20

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x – 2)^2) =±sqrt(- 20)

x-2  = ±sqrt(- 20)

We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x-2  = ±sqrt(- 1) sqrt(20)

We know the sqrt (-1) = i

x-2  = ±i sqrt(4*5)

x-2 = ±i sqrt(4) sqrt(5)

Add 2 to each side

x-2+2 = 2 ±i sqrt(4) sqrt(5)

x = 2 ±i 2 sqrt(5)

x = 2  ± 2 sqrt(5)i

How to evaluate -4+3/4 plzzzz!
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

-13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Look for the LCM of both which is 4. 4÷1 ×-4 which is -16

then 4 divided by 4 which is 1 then × 3 which is 3.

now (-16+3)/4 to have -13/4
