A lab is testing the amount of a certain active chemical compound in a particular drug that has been recently developed. The man

ufacturer claims that the average amount of the chemical is 95 mg. It is known that the standard deviation in the amount of the chemical is 5 mg. A random sample of 25 batches of the new drug is tested and found to have a sample mean concentration of 89.9 mg of the active chemical.
Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of the active chemical in the drug. Give your answers to 2 decimal places. (suppose to be number less than and equal to mean less than and equal to another number)

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is "87.94, 91.86".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Sample batches,

n = 25

Sample mean concentration,

\bar{x} = 89.9 mg

Amount of chemical,

σ = 5

α = 0.05

The critical value from Z table will be:

=  Z(\frac{\alpha}{2} )

=  Z(\frac{0.05}{2} )

=  1.96

Now,

The confidence interval will be:

=  \bar{x}  \pm Z(\frac{\alpha}{2} )\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

On substituting the values, we get

=  89.9 \pm Z(\frac{0.05}{2})\times \frac{5}{\sqrt{25}}

=  89.9 \pm Z(\frac{0.05}{2})\times \frac{5}{5}

=  89.9 \pm1.96\times 1

Lower limit will be:

=  89.9 -1.96\times 1

=  87.94

Upper limit will be:

=  89.9 +1.96\times 1

=  91.86

Dori and Malory are tracking their steps taken as a health goal. Dori leaves her house at 12:00 p.m. and walks at 50 steps per m
docker41 [41]

Hi There!


Dori leaves her house at 12pm.

50 steps per minute until 12:20pm.

Dori has a 20 minute advantage over Malory, find the amount of steps she is ahead by,

12 - 12:20pm. steps = 20 minutes = 20 x 50 = 1000 steps


Malory leaves her house at 12:20pm.

Walks 90 steps per minute.

12:20 -  12:30 pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900


Dori 12:20 - 12:30pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 50 = 500

500 + 1000 = 1500


Mallory 12:30 - 12:40 = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900

900 + 900 = 1800


Dori 12:30 - 12:45pm. = 15 minutes = 15 x 50 = 500

1750 + 500 = 2250


Mallory 12:40 - 12:45pm. = 5 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900

450 + 1800 = 2250


Answer: they have the same number steps at 12:45 p.m.


Hope This Helps :)

The perimeter of a isclose triangle is 24in and the length of the side is 4 in find the 2 other sides
Scrat [10]

Answer:

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Isosceles Triangle

Perimeter=24\ in

Side = 4\ in

Required

Find the length of the other two sides

Represent the other sides with x.

Since it is an isosceles triangle, 2 sides are equal.

So, we have:

x + x + 4 = 24

2x + 4 = 24

Collect Like Terms

2x = 24-4

2x = 20

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{20}{2}

x = \frac{20}{2}

x = 10

<em>The other sides are 10in each</em>
