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.

2(5x+4) =10x+6 <br> is this equation always, sometimes or never true?<br> Asap please
frosja888 [35]
The equation is never true because you have to multiply 2 with all numbers in the parentheses. Therefore

2(5x +4) = 10x + 8.

Because 2 x 4 is not 6 but 8

What is the volume of the following rectangular prism?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

I dont really know how to multiply fractions but i do know the step.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 23/4 units square's formula is L × B. and the H is 4/3 units.All you needed to do to find the recrangular prism was to multiply 23/4 and 4/3 to get it.Then simplify it.Sorry i dont really know whether this helps but its what i know:'D
