A consumer advocacy group suspects that a local supermarket's 10 oz. packages of cheddar cheese actually weigh less than 10 oz.

The standard deviation is 0.15 oz. The group took a random sample of 35 such packages and found that the mean weight for the sample was 9.95 oz. Calculate the confidence interval. Don't forget to label. Please go 4 decimal spaces on the error, but 2 on the boundaries.

Answer:  (9.90,\ 10.00)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean:

\overline{x}\pm z^c\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

where , \overline{x} = sample mean , \sigma = population standard deviation, n= sample size, z^c = Critical z-value.

As per given, n= 35,\ \ \ \overline{x} =9.95,\ \ \ \ \sigma=0.15

We will find 95% confidence interval for which z^c=1.96

Required confidence interval:

9.95\pm(1.96)\dfrac{0.15}{\sqrt{35}} \\\\= 9.95\pm (0.049695)\\\\=( 9.95-0.049695,\ 9.95+0.049695)\\\\=(9.900305,\ 9.999695)\approx(9.90,\ 10.00)

Required confidence interval : (9.90,\ 10.00)

What is the solution to this equation x -9=5​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x- 9 = 5

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 9 to both sides of the equation:

x - 9 (+9) = 5 (+9)

x = 5 + 9

x = 14

x = 14 is your answer.

After diving 86 feet below the surface, a diver ascends at 4 feet per minute. After 12 minutes pass, where is the diver located
Gemiola [76]
One possible way:
-86+(4*12)=-38
-86 is the number where the diver is. 86 feet below the surface.
4*12 is the total number of feet he has ascended in 12 minutes.
Because he is ascending, so you add 4*12 (or 48) to -86.
The answer is -38, meaning he's 38 feet below the surface.

The diver is now 38 feet below the surface.

Hope this helps.

A sidewalk forms the diagonal of a square park. The sidewalk is 30 meters long. To the nearest tenth of a meter, how long are th
PtichkaEL [24]
<span> <span>We can use the Pythagorean Theorem (A² + B² = C²) to solve for the lengths of the sides. We know that the diagonal, C, is 30 meters long, so C² = 900 meters. We know that since the park is square, A² + B² = 2A² = 2B²

900 = 2A²

A^2 = 450

Taking the square root of 450, we find that the lengths of A and B are roughly 21.2 meters.</span> </span>

Mr. Dawson owns multiple fish breeding farms. The number of fish breeding farms is represented by the function f(x) = 5. The app
Ilya [14]
For this case what we must do is define h (x), which is given by:
 h (x) = f (x) * g (x)
 Where,
 f (x) = 5 (The number of fish breeding farms)
 g (x) = 80 (1.04) ^ x (The approximate number of fish per breeding farm)
 Substituting we have:
 h (x) = (5) * (80 (1.04) ^ x)
 Rewriting we have:
 h (x) = 400 (1.04) ^ x
 Answer:
 
the approximate population of the fish across all Mr. Dawson's farms after x months is:
 
h (x) = 400 (1.04) ^ x
