In the children’s game Don’t Break the Ice, small plastic ice cubes are squeezed into a square frame. Each child takes a turn ta

pping out a cube of "ice" with a plastic hammer, hoping that the remaining cubes don’t collapse. For the game to work the cubes must be big enough so that they hold each other in place but not so big that they are too difficult to tap out. In an SRS of 43 "ice cubes" the average width was 29.5 millimeters with a standard deviation of 0.12mm. Construct a 95% confidence level for the true mean width. Group of answer choices

Answer:

(29.46 mm, 29.54 mm).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 43 - 1 = 42

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 42 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.018

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.018\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{43}} = 0.04

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 29.5 mm - 0.04mm = 29.46 mm

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 29.5 mm + 0.04mm = 29.54 mm

The 95% confidence level for the true mean width is: (29.46 mm, 29.54 mm).

the elevator of new orleans, louisiana is on average 8 ft below sea level. the elevation of EL Centro, california is 39ft below
Svetllana [295]
The difference in elevation equals subtraction. In other words 39ft subtracted by 8ft equals 31ft. So New Orleans, Louisiana is 31ft ABOVE sea level compared to EL Centro, California.

To raise money, the Boy Scouts bought 190 kg of taffy for $723.90. They sold the tafty in 400 g bags
babunello [35]

They made profit of \$834.10 by selling 190 kg of taffy in 400 g bags at rate of \$3.28 each.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

To raise money, the Boy Scouts bought 190 kg of taffy for \$723.90.

They sold the tafty in 400 g bags for \$3.28\text{ each }

Need to calculate the profit the made.

Cost price of 190 kg of taffy = \$723.90

As 1 kg = 1000 gram,

So 190 kg of taffy = 190\times 1000 = 190000\text{ grams of taffy }

So cost price of 190000 gram of taffy = \$723.90

Now let us calculate number of 400 grams bags which can be made from 190000 grams of taffy

Number of 400 grams bags = \frac{190000}{400}=475 \text { bags }

Amount generated from 1 bag of 400 gram taffy = 3.28

So amount generated from 475 bags of taffy = 475\times3.28 = \$1558

Selling price of 190000 grams of taffy = amount generated from 475 bags of taffy = \$1558

\text{ Profit }= \text{ selling price }-\text{ cost price }= 1558-723.90 = \$834.10

Hence they made profit of \$834.10 by selling 190 kg of taffy in 400 g bags at rate of \$3.28
