Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean paper products recycled per person per day for the population of Dallas is

     0.7454 <  \mu <  1.1546

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n =  20

   The sample mean is  \= x = 0.95 \ pounds

   The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  0.32 \ pounds

Generally given that the sample size is small , n<  30  we will be making use of t distribution table

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

             df = 20 - 1

=>          df = 19

From the question we are told the confidence level is  99% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.01

Generally from the t distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2}  at a degree of freedom of df = 19  is  

   t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, 19 } =  2.86

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E =t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, 19 }  *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>   E = 2.86 *  \frac{0.32}{\sqrt{20} }

=>   E = 0.2046      

Generally 99% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      \= x -E <  \mu <  \=x  +E

=>  0.95  -0.2046 <  \mu <  0.95  + 0.2046

=>  0.7454 <  \mu <  1.1546

A calculator displays a result as 1.3540980 107 kg. the estimated uncertainty in the result is ±2%. how many digits should be i
yan [13]
<span>2 significant digits.
       
Let's see what the range of possible values you can have for 1.3540980 if your uncertainty is +/- 2% 2% of 1.3540980 = 0.02 * 1.3540980 = 0.027082 So the lowest possible value for your result is 1.3540980 - 0.027082 = 1.327016 The largest possible result is 1.3540980 + 0.027082 = 1.38117996 Notice that only the 1st 2 digits of the result match which is reasonable since a 2% error means that your result is only accurate to within 1 part in 50.</span>
