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.

Mary buys a reel of thread for sewing. There are 10 m of thread on the real. She uses 210 cm. How much is left on the reel in ce
babunello [35]

Answer:

the length of the thread remaining is 790 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

original length of the thread, L₀ = 10 m = 1000 cm

the length of the thread used, L₁ = 210 cm

The length of the thread remaining is calculated as follows;

ΔL = L₀ - L₁

ΔL = 1000 cm - 210 cm

ΔL = 790 cm

Therefore, the length of the thread remaining is 790 cm
