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.

A large explosion causes wood and metal debris to rise vertically into the air with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. T
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

the height after 2 seconds will be 128 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Initial velocity = 96 feet per second

The function of height of falling debris above the ground is given as:

h(t) = 96t - 16t²

A) To find height after time t = 2 seconds

substituting the value of time in the above function, we get

h(t) = 96 × 2 - 16 × 2²

or

h(t) = 192 - 16 × 4

or

h(t) = 192 - 64

or

h(t) = 128 feet

Hence,

the height after 2 seconds will be 128 feet

Slope = 4<br> Y-intercept = -1
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

y = 4x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the equation y = mx + b

m is the slope, so you just substitute 4 for m, and b is the y-intercept, so you substitute -1 for b

PLSSS HELP MARKING BRAINLIST QUESTION BELOW

Answer:

The third answer. ( John's boat was farther from the deck at the beginning but Roberta's boat traveled more quickly)

Step-by-step explanation:

You already know that in the beginning John's boat begins 20 miles  from the dock. Now you need to find Roberta! When each boat begins from the dock, it means when x=0. So lets insert that! y= 6(0)+15. You get 15. Now you know that its either the 3rd or 4th answer.  The second piece of info you have for John is that it is 45 miles from the dock after 5 hours. Again, in the beginning it started with 20 miles. 45-20= 25 miles TRAVELED in 5 hours.  For Roberta, we need to insert 5 in the equation for x. y=6(5)+15. You get: 45 again! But... Roberta started at 15 miles. So 45-15 is 30 miles. She traveled 30 miles in 5 hours. The only answer that is matching to our problem solving is the third answer. Hope this helps!
