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.

22. f(x) is stretched horizontally by a factor of 2 and reflected across the x-axis. Which choice shows the correct representati
goblinko [34]

Answer:

A. -f(1/2 x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflextion about the x-axis is

f(x) -> -f(x)

and horizontal dilation is

f(x) -> f(-x/b) where b is the factor of dilation.

so the proper answwer is

A. -f(1/2 x)

Suppose ABCD is a rhombus with AB = 12 inches. The midpoints of its sides are joined to form a quadrilateral. What type of quadr
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

A rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus;

The length of the sides of the rhombus = 12 inches

The lengths of the sides of a rhombus are equal

The opposite interior angles of the rhombus are equal

The length of each midpoint from the vertex = 12 in./2  = 6 in.

Therefore, we have;

The line joining the midpoints form a quadrilateral with the length of the opposite sides equal

The sum of the interior angles of the rhombus = 180°

From the diagram created with Microsoft Visio, we have;

4·a + 4·b + 360 = 4 × 180 = 360 + 360

4·a + 4·b = 360

a + b = 90°

We have;

The interior angles of the quadrilateral formed = x

a + b + x = 180° Sum of angles on a straight line

∴ x = 180° - (a + b) = 180° - 90° = 90°

x = 90°

Therefore, the interior angles of the quadrilateral formed = 90°

The quadrilateral formed having equal opposite sides, and all interior angle of 90° each is a rectangle
