Suppose you work in the quality assurance department of a chemical processing plant and it is your responsibility to ascertain w

hether the viscosity of a certain chemical remains within a prescribed limit. To that end you measure fluid samples using a viscometer. a. The viscosities of a sample of 10 fluids processed during the day shift were measured to have the following results (Pa.s): 71, 45, 54, 75, 50, 49, 63, 55, 48, 50. Determine the range within which the true mean of the fluid samples from the day shift will be with a 95% confidence.

Answer:

48.668 ≤ μ ≤ 63.332

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Sample (X) : 71, 45, 54, 75, 50, 49, 63, 55, 48, 50

Number of samples (n) = 10

α = 95% = 0.05

Determine the range within which the true mean of the fluid samples from the day shift will be with a 95% confidence

True mean = μ

Confidence interval :

m ± t(α/2 ; df) * s/√n

m - t(α/2 ; df) * s/√n ≤ μ ≤ m + t(α/2 ; df) * s/√n

m = sample mean ; s = sample standard deviation ; df = degree of freedom =(n - 1) = (10 - 1) = 9

Calculating the sample mean and standard deviation using calculator to save computation time :

71, 45, 54, 75, 50, 49, 63, 55, 48, 50

m = 56 ; s = 10.25

m - t(0.05/2 ; 9) * s/√n ≤ μ ≤ m + t(0.05/2 ; df) * s/√n

From t table : t(0.05/2 ; 9) = t(0.025, 9) = 2.262

56-2.262 * (10.25/√10) ≤ μ ≤ 56+2.262 * (10.25/√10)

48.668 ≤ μ ≤ 63.332

A growth medium is inoculated with 1,000 bacteria, which grow at a rate of 15% each day. What is the population of the culture 6

Leto [7]

<h2>Number of bacteria after 6 days is 2313</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Population after n days is given by

$P_n=P_0(1+r)^n$

Initial population, P₀ = 1000

Increase rate, r = 15 % = 0.15

Number of days, n = 6

Substituting

$P_n=P_0(1+r)^n\\\\P_6=1000(1+0.15)^6\\\\P_6=1000(1.15)^6\\\\P_6=1000\times 2.313\\\\P_6=2313$

Number of bacteria after 6 days = 2313

Exercise 1.A committee of five people is chosen randomly from four men and six women. Find the probability that:a) Exactly four

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer with explanation:

Given : Number of men = 4

Number of women = 6

Total people = $6+4=10$

Total number of ways to make a committee of five people from 10 persons :-

$^{10}C_{4}=\dfrac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}=210$

a) Number of ways to make committee that has exactly four women :

$^6C_4\times ^4C_1=\dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}\times4=60$

The probability that committee has exactly four women :

$\dfrac{60}{210}=\dfrac{2}{7}$

b) Number of ways to make committee that has at-least four women :

$^6C_4\times ^4C_1+^6C_5=\dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}\times4+6=66$

The probability that committee at-least four women :

$\dfrac{66}{210}=\dfrac{22}{70}$

c) Number of ways that committee has more than 4 women :-

$^6C_5\times^4C_0=6$

The probability that committee has more than 4 women :-

$\dfrac{6}{210}$

Now, the probability that committee has at most four women :-

$1-\dfrac{6}{210}=\dfrac{204}{210}=\dfrac{102}{105}$

An acting award is a square pyramid with a base that measures 6 inches on each side. The slant height is 8 inches. What is the s

kupik [55]

Answer:

The surface area of the award is $132\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the square pyramid is equal to the area of the square base plus the area of its four lateral triangular faces

so

$SA=6^{2}+4[\frac{1}{2}(6)(8)]=132\ in^{2}$
