Shards of clay vessels were put together to reconstruct rim diameters of the original ceramic vessels found at the Wind Mountain

archaeological site. A random sample of ceramic vessels gave the following rim diameters (in centimeters):
15.9 - 13.4 - 22.1 - 12.7 - 13.1 - 19.6 - 11.7 - 13.5 - 17.7 - 18.1

(A) With mean and sample deviation verify that x bar is about equal to 15.8 cm and s equal to 3.5 cm.

(B) Compute an 80% confidence interval for the population mean (mhu) of rim diameters for such ceramic vesselsfound at the Wind Mountain archaelogical site.

Answer:

a) In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}} (3)  

The mean calculated for this case is

The sample deviation calculated s=3.46 \approx 3.5

b) 15.8-1.383\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{10}}=14.27    

15.8+1.383\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{10}}=17.33    

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (14.27;17.33)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}} (3)  

The mean calculated for this case is

The sample deviation calculated s=3.46 \approx 3.5

Part b

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9

Since the Confidence is 0.80 or 80%, the value of \alpha=0.2 and \alpha/2 =0.1, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.1,9)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=1.383

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

15.8-1.383\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{10}}=14.27    

15.8+1.383\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{10}}=17.33    

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (14.27;17.33)

Refer to the picture above
vodomira [7]

Answer:

3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the circumference of the circle:

2\pi r = Circumference.

2 * \pi * 6 = 12\pi

Find the ratio of the angle in relation to the entire circle:

30^o is what we have. So:

\frac{30^o}{360^o} = \frac{1}{12}

Use the ratio and multiply the circumference to find the length:

12\pi * \frac{1}{12} = \pi

Round answer to the hundredth:

\pi = 3.14

A prism and two nets are shown below:
nikdorinn [45]
Part a : Net A because when you fold it up it will look like the wanted prism

Part b : AB = 3 in
BC = 5 in
CD = 7.2 in

Part c : area of one triangle = 4*3 = 12 / 2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12 (because there are 2 triangles)
7.2 * 3 = 21.6
7.2 * 4 = 28.8
7.2 * 5 = 36
Add them all up : 12+21.6+28.8+36 = 98.4
So surface area is 98.4 in
