You are the product manager for Joe Totter Supermarket. You are interested in validating the contents of the one-pound bags of K

een potato chips. You select a random sample of 9 bags and empty the contents of each bag, one at a time, onto a scale and record the weights in pounds. Below are the recorded sample weights:
1.11.21.00.91.11.31.21.1

Assuming the weights of potato chips are normally distributed, estimate the mean weight of a bag of Keen potato chips using a 95% confidence interval.

Answer:

Hence, the mean of the potato chips lie between the interval (1.006, 1.194)

Given :

data is :

  1.1,1.2,1.0,0.9,1.1,1.3,1.2,1.1,1.0

Confidence level is 95\%.

To find :

Confidence interval.

Explanation :

Mean \bar{x} =\frac{\sum x}{n}

  \Rightarrow \bar{x}=\frac{1.1+1.2+1.0+0.9+1.1+1.3+1.2+1.1+1.0}{9}

  \Rightarrow \bar{x}=\frac{9.9}{9}

 \Rightarrow \bar{x}=1.1

Standard deviation \sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}

   \Rightarrow \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}=0.122

here, \alpha=1-\;\text{confidence level}

     \Rightarrow \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=Z_{0.05}=2.306 by the Z- table

95\% confidence interval is :

    \bar{x}\pm Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\Rightarrow 1.1\pm 2.306\times \frac{0.122}{\sqrt{9}}

\Rightarrow 1.1\pm 2.306\times \frac{0.122}{3}

\Rightarrow 1.1\pm 0.094

\Rightarrow (1.006, 1.194)

Therefore, the mean of the potato chips lie between the interval (1.006, 1.194)

Given f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x - 9, what is f(x) + g(x)?
Orlov [11]
Solution:

f(x) = 2x + 3
g(x) = x - 9

f(x) + g(x)
= (2x + 3) + (x - 9)
= 2x + x + 3 - 9
= 3x - 6
