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)

In the adjoining figure, the parallel lines are marked by arrow lines. The value of angle 1 is:
dlinn [17]

Answer:

20°

Step-by-step explanation:

40°, 70° and 90° are the measures of the three angles of the quadrilateral.

Measure of fourth angle of the Quadrilateral

= 360° - (40° + 70° + 90°)

= 360° - 200°

= 160°

Measure of angle 1 will be equal to the measure of the linear pair angle of 160° as they are corresponding angles.

Thus,

m\angle 1 = 180\degree- 160\degree

\implies\huge\purple{\boxed{ m\angle 1 = 20\degree}}

Alternate method:

m\angle 1 = 180\degree- [360\degree-(40\degree+70\degree+90\degree)]

\implies m\angle 1 = 180\degree- [360\degree-200\degree]

\implies m\angle 1 = 180\degree- 160\degree

\implies m\angle 1 = 20\degree
