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.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

D) Survey 100 randomly selected students from the school

Step-by-step explanation:

This gives an equal chance to everybody, so it's not biased and it is of everybody that goes to his school. A is only the people on the football team so its not students in his school. Walking to school has nothing to do with the survey topic and so thats also definitely not it. C again doesn't give a fair chance to everybody, so it would be possible to get an accurate, unbiased answer. D is definitely your answer!

I hope that helps!!

Have an awesome day! :)

How many people own a SUV?<br> A. 4<br> B. 42<br> C. 420<br> D. 4,200
MaRussiya [10]
For this, no math is even needed! The question says 1,000 people were interviewed. 42% percent of that 1,000 owns an SUV. If it's a percent, it is 42/100, right? Now we have to make that 42/100 out of 1000. We add a zero to the 100 on the bottom (42/1000). We do the same thing on the top. Add a zero! 420. 

SECOND POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Solve this with logic! 42% is nearly 50%. Half of 1,000 is 500. What is closest to 500? 420! This solution is even easier.

Hope this helps you!

Anika [276]

Answer: 173.26 ft = 173 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

h tree: 76 ft

h man: 6 ft

As we can see on the sketch, they form a right triangle, so:

tan 22 = 76/y ⇒ 0.404 = 76/y ⇒ y = 76*0.404 ⇒ y = 188.11 ft

tan 22 = 6/x ⇒ 0.404 = 6/x ⇒ x = 6*0.404 ⇒ x = 14.85 ft

distance between the man and the tree = y - x = 188.11 - 14.85 = 173.26 ft
