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.

Given the graphs of f(x) = x – 4 and g(x) = –2x – 7, what is the solution to the equation f(x) = g(x)?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

C) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the following functions:

f(x)=x-4

and

g(x)=-2x-7

to find the solution of  f(x) = g(x)

what you need to do is to match the two functions:

f(x) = g(x)\\x-4=-2x-7

and now we solve this equation for x.

we move the -2x to the left as a +2x, and the -4 on to the right as a +4

x+2x=-7+4:

and we add the quantities on both sides:

3x=-3

dividing by 3:

x=-3/3\\\\x=-1

the solution to the equation is

C) -1

Answer:

y=x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the output (y), you have to add 8 to the input (x).

18 + 8 = 26

35 + 8 = 43

86 + 8 = 94

therefore, x+8=y
