In a random sample of 7 residents of the state of Maine, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 1.4 pounds with a standa

rd deviation of 0.23 pounds.
a. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine. Assume the population is approximately normal.
b. Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine is between 1.19 and 1.61 pounds.

b) T_c = 2.4469

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used 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 = 7 - 1 = 6

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.4469, and the answer to question b is T_c = 2.4469

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.4469\frac{0.23}{\sqrt{7}} = 0.21

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 1.4 - 0.21 = 1.19 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.4 + 0.21 = 1.61 pounds.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine is between 1.19 and 1.61 pounds.

Which best describes the complement of spinning any number less than 3?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

  • <u>The complement of spinning any number less than 3, is spinning a number equal to or greater than 3.</u>

Explanation:

The complement of a subset is the subset of elements that are not in the given subset.

You must know which numbers the spinner has.

Assuming the spinner has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, the complement of spinning any number less than 3, is spinning a number that is not less than 3.

Then, that is spinning a number that is equal to or greater than 3.

The numbers that are equal to  or greater than four, for a spinner that has the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are 3 and 4.

Thus, the complement of spinning any number less than 3 is spinning a three or a four.

Work out the size angles x,y and z​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

x = y = 14

z = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see from the markings, x = y

So we have an isosceles triangle in ABD

the sum of angles in a triangle is 180

52 + x + y = 180

x + y = 180-52

x + y = 28

so since x = y

x = y = 14

To get z, we have that;

52 + z + 14 + 44 = 180

z + 110 = 180

z = 180-110

z = 70
