The mayor is interested in finding a 98% confidence interval for the mean number of pounds of trash per person per week that is

generated in the city. The study included 129 residents whose mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week was 34.2 pounds and the standard deviation was 8.2 pounds.
a. The sampling distribution follows a ______ distribution.
b. With 95% confidence the population mean number of pounds per person per week is between_____ and_____ pounds.
c. If many groups of 120 randomly selected people in the city are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About_____ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week and about________ percent will not contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week.

Solution :

Given :

Sample mean, $\overline X = 34.2$

Sample size, n = 129

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.2

a. Since the population standard deviation is unknown, therefore, we use the t-distribution.

b. Now for 95% confidence level,

   α = 0.05, α/2 = 0.025

  From the t tables, T.INV.2T(α, degree of freedom), we find the t value as

  t =T.INV.2T(0.05, 128) = 2.34

  Taking the positive value of t, we get  

  Confidence interval is ,

  $\overline X \pm t \times \frac{s}{\sqrt n}$

 $34.2 \pm 2.34 \times \frac{8.2}{\sqrt {129}}$

 (32.52, 35.8)

 95% confidence interval is  (32.52, 35.8)

So with $95 \%$ confidence of the population of the mean number of the pounds per person per week is between 32.52 pounds and 35.8 pounds.

c. About $95 \%$ of confidence intervals which contains the true population of mean number of the pounds of the trash that is generated per person per week and about $5 \%$ that doe not contain the true population of mean number of the pounds of trashes generated by per person per week.

Given: mAngleEDF = 120°; mAngleADB = (3x)°; mAngleBDC = (2x)° Prove: x = 24 3 lines are shown. A line with points E, D, C inters
N76 [4]

Answer:

" Vertical angles are congruent " ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Look to the attached figure </em>

- There are three lines intersected at point D

- We need to find the missing in step 3

∵ Line FA intersects line EC at point D

- The angles formed when two lines cross each other are called

 vertical angles

- Vertical angles are congruent (vertical angles theorem)

∴ ∠ADC and ∠FDE are vertical angles

∵ Vertical angles are congruent

∴ ∠EDF ≅ ∠ADC

∴ m∠EDF ≅ m∠ADC

∵ m∠EDF = 120° ⇒ given

∵ m∠ADC = m∠ADB + m∠BDC

∴ m∠ADB + m∠BDC = 120°

∵ m∠ADB = (3x)° ⇒ given

∵ m∠BDC = (2x)° ⇒ given

∴ 3x + 2x = 120 ⇒ add like terms

∴ 5x = 120 ⇒ divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 24

Column (1)                                                     Column (2)

m∠EDF = 120°                                               given

m∠ADB = 3 x                                                 given

m∠BDC = 2 x                                                 given

∠EDF and ∠ADC are vertical angles           defin. of vert. ∠s

∠EDF is congruent to ∠ADC                        vertical angles are      

                                                                        congruent  

m∠ADC = m∠ADB + m∠BDC                        angle add. post.

m∠EDF = m∠ADC                                          defin. of cong.

m∠EDF = m∠ADB + m∠BDC                         substitution

120° = 3 x + 2 x                                               substitution

120 = 5 x                                                         addition

x = 24                                                              division  

∴ The missing reason is " vertical angles are congruent "

- From the explanation above ∠ADC and ∠FDE are vertical

 angles then they are congruent according to vertical angle

PLEASE HELP ME!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!
Zolol [24]

(9/18)(9/18) = 81/324. The probability that Amy takes out pink chips in both draws is 81/324.

In this example we will use the probability property P(A∩B), which means given two independent events A and B, their joint probability P(A∩B) can be expressed as the product of the individual probabilities P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B).

The total number of chips of different colors in Amy's bag is:

8 blue chips + 9 pink chips + 1 white chip = 18 color chips

Amy takes out a chip from the bag randomly without looking, she replaces the chip and then takes out another chip from the bag.

So, the probability that Amy takes out a pink chip in the first draw is:

P(A) = 9/18 The probability of takes out a pink chip is 9/18 because there are 9 pink chips in the total of 18 color chips.

Then, Amy replaces the chip an takes out another which means there are again 18 color chips divide into 8 blue chips, 9 pink chips, and 1 white chip. So, the probability of takes out a pink chip in the second draw is:

P(B) = 9/18  The probability of takes out a pink chip is 9/18 because there are 9 pink chips in the total of 18 color chips.

What is the probability that Amy takes out a pink chip in both draws?

P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B)

P(A∩B) = (9/18)(9/18) = 81/324
