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.

True or false. this set of three numbers are measurements of a right triangle 26, 24, 10
Firdavs [7]

True

using the converse of Pythagoras' identity

Given 3 sides of a triangle, if the longest side squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides then triangle is right.

longest side squared = 26² = 676

sum of other 2 sides squared = 24² + 10² = 576 + 100 = 676

Hence triangle is right

Write an equation to represent the following description "fourteen less than 8 times a number is -11
Serggg [28]

Answer:

(8 * x) -14 = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

* = multiply sign (i didnt want to put "x" as the multiply sign since "x" is already being used) ( mightve confused you with 2 "x"s in the parenthesis.

x = the number that is missing being multiplied by 8

I put "8" multiplied by "x" in parenthesis since you do parenthesis first in an equation.

A store in Ashland purchased a cat calendar at a cost of $1.30 and marked it up 100%. Later on, Fernando bought the cat calendar
Arada [10]

Answer:

$2.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Purchase price of cat calendar = $1.30

Markup = 100%

Hence, price at which the cat calendar was sold :

1.30 + 100%(1.35)

$1.30 + $1.30 = $2.60

Sales tax = 15%

Amount paid as sales. tax _

15% * 2.60 = $0.39

Total amount paid :

$2.60 + 0.39 = $2.99
