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.

Sophia used the Order of Operations to simplify 4(5 - 2) to 4x3.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

  • Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Order of operations, use the operation within the parenthesis:</u>

  • 1) 5 - 2 = 3
  • 2) 4*3 = 12

<u>Distributive property, a(b + c) = ab + ac:</u>

  • 1) 4*5 - 4*2 = 20 - 8
  • 2) 20 - 8 = 12

Both ways are correct and lead to same result

A middle school basketball team won 36% of the games it played last season. the team won exactly 9 games last season. what is th
aliya0001 [1]

9 games equals 36 percent of x number of total games.

9=(36/100)x

Multiply both sides by (100/36) to isolate x.

9*(100/36)=x

x=25 total games
