Answer:
a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine is between 1.19 and 1.61 pounds.
b)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 7 - 1 = 6
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of . So we have T = 2.4469, and the answer to question b is
The margin of error is:
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.4 - 0.21 = 1.19 pounds.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.4 + 0.21 = 1.61 pounds.
The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine is between 1.19 and 1.61 pounds.
Answer:
a) f(x) = 4 - x²
The linear approximation of the function at a=1 is
L(x) = 5 - 2x at a = 1
b) The graph of the function and the linear approximation at that point is attached to this solution.
The curve represent the real function,
f(x) = 4 - x²
The straight line represents the linear approximation of the function at a=1.
L(x) = 5 - 2x
The curve and the function evidently cross paths at x=1 and understandably so.
c) Using the linear approximation obtained at a = 1.
f(1.1) = 2.8
Using the actual function, the actual value of f(1.1) = 2.79
d) Percent error = 0.358%
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4 - x²
a) The linear approximation of the function at the given point is given as
L(x) = f(a) + f'(a) [x - a]
f(x) = 4 - x²
a = 1
f(a) = 4 - 1² = 3
f'(x) = -2x
f'(a) = -2(1) = -2
L(x) = f(a) + f'(a) [x - a]
L(x) = 3 + (-2)(x - 1)
L(x) = 3 -2x + 2
L(x) = 5 - 2x
L(x) = -2x + 5
f(x) = 4 - x²
L(x) = 5 - 2x at a = 1
b) The graph of the function and the linear approximation at that point is attached to this solution.
The curve represent the real function,
f(x) = 4 - x²
The straight line represents the linear approximation of the function at a=1.
L(x) = 5 - 2x
The curve and the function evidently cross paths at x=1 and understandably so.
c) Use the linear approx. to estimate the given fxn value.
f(1.1)
L(x) = 5 - 2x
L(1.1) = 5 - 2(1.1) = 2.8
Using the function, the actual value of f(1.1) = 4 - 1.1² = 2.79
d) Compute the percent error in your approximation, 100*Iapprox-exactI/IexactI, where the exact value is given by a calculator
Percent error
= 100% × (|approx - exact|)/exact
Approximated value = 2.8
Exact value = 2.79
Percent error = 100% × (2.8-2.79)/2.79
Percent error = 0.358%
Hope this Helps!!!
