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

Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. 1 - 5 ———————- 1 1 — + —- 12 8
koban [17]

Answer:

9/14

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not clear enough. Here is a similar question as shown in the attachment

Given the expression

-3/2 ÷ -7/3

= -3/2 ×-3/7

= (-3*-3)/(2*7)

= 9/14

Hence the equivalent result expressed as a fraction is 9/14

Can someone please awnser this for me i need to get a b in this class!!!!
Snezhnost [94]

The answer would be 30%

Explanation~

Well, you would have to add 27 and 23 first since, it says, “What percentage of the twelfth grade students have more than one college in mind” then, you’d have to figure out the percentage from there. And the percentage would be, 29.4117647059% of 170, round that to the nearest percent and it’s 30 I’m pretty sure.

HELP ITS MY LAST QUESTION WITH STEP BY STEP
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

71

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) First, add Andy's score and Janet's score in order to know how much they got in total:

  • Janet's score: 119 + 96 + 145 = 360
  • Andy's score: 127 + 74 + 88 = 289

2) In order to find how much more Janet scored, jus subtract Andy's score from Janet's score:

  • 360 - 289 = 71

Therefore, the answer is 71.

Hope this helps! :)
