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.

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.

The length of a radius of a circle, measured in centimeters, is represented by the expression x + 1.5. The diameter of the circl
Tomtit [17]

The value of x of a circle with radius x + 1.5 and diameter of 9 2 / 5 cm is 7.9 cm

<h3>Radius of a circle</h3>

Radius of a circle is half of the diameter of a circle. The radius extend from the centre of the circle to the circumference.

Mathematically,

radius = 1 / 2 (diameter)

Therefore,

radius = (x + 1.5) cm

diameter = 9 2 / 5 cm = 47 / 5 cm

let's find x with the relationship above.

Therefore,

x + 1.5 = 47 / 5

subtract 1.5 from both sides

x + 1.5 - 1.5 = 9.4 - 1.5

x = 7.9 cm
