An ecological group suspects tuna are consuming dangerous levels of copper in a region of the world. Dangerous levels of copper

are classified when they reach beyond 5.7 parts per
million. A random sample of 21 tunas in the region were tested and the data is shown in the stemplot.

Key: 20 = 2.0 parts per million
Part A: What proportion of the tuna in the sample have dangerous levels of copper in their systems? (4 points)
Part B: Construct and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the mean copper levels of the tuna if the sample of 21 tuna has a mean copper level of 4.77 parts per million and standard
deviation of 11 16 parts per million. (6 points)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) From the stem-leaf plot, we see that out of 21 tunas, 5 have dangerous levels of copper since the levels go beyond 5.7 parts per million. The required proportion is 5/21=0.2381

B) Given the sample mean is {x}=4.77, sample standard deviation s=1.16 and the sample size is n=21.

Since the population standard deviation is not known, we use t-distribution.

So the 98% CI for mean is

4.77 ± t{1-0.02 /2,20} x 1.16/sqrt(21) = (4.13, 5.41)}

We are sure with 98% confidence the true copper level (in parts per million) lies in the interval (4.13, 5.41)

Nutka1998 [239]
\frac{17}{18}-\frac{8}{9}=x
You must find a common denominator(bottom)
\frac{8}{9}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{16}{18}
\frac{17}{18}-\frac{16}{18}=\frac{1}{18}
Your answer is x=\frac{1}{18}

You have just arrived at summer camp. And your cabin, the counselor has each camper perform the super secret handshake with ever
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Just try to follow my description. When two persons are in the cabin, there is only 1 handshake. When a third person comes, he will have to handshake the two people who came before him. So, there will be 2 handshakes. When a fourth person comes, he would make 3 handshakes with the 3 people who came before him. When the fifth person comes, he would make 4 handshakes with the 4 people who came before him. So, you see there is a pattern. The number of handshakes is 1 less than the total number of people inside the cabin. So, if there are 14 people in the cabin, the last person to come in would have to make 13 handshakes with the 13 people who came in first. Obtaining the sum of all the handshakes starting from the 2 handshakes initially to the 13 handshakes, the sum would be

Total handshakes = 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13
Total handshakes = 90

Therefore, there will be a total of 90 handshakes made within the cabin of 14 people.
