In a sample of eight whitefish caught in Yellowknife Bay, the mean arsenic concentration in the liver was 0.32 mg/kg, with a sta

ndard deviation of 0.06 mg/kg. Find a 95% confidence interval for the concentration in whitefish found in Yellowknife Bay. (Round the final answers to four decimal places.)

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the concentration in whitefish found in Yellowknife Bay is (0.2698 mg/kg, 0.3702 mg/kg).

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 = 8 - 1 = 7

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 7 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.3246

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.3646\frac{0.06}{\sqrt{8}} = 0.0502

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 0.32 - 0.0502 = 0.2698 mg/kg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.32 + 0.0502 = 0.3702 mg/kg

The 95% confidence interval for the concentration in whitefish found in Yellowknife Bay is (0.2698 mg/kg, 0.3702 mg/kg).

Hey guys happy Tuesday ! I need some home work help ASAP work and answer pls love y’all ❤️

1. Multiply 5 by 2 since the piece is twice as long. That is 10. 
Multiply 4 by 3 since the piece is 3 times as long. That is 12. 
Her piece is 10 x 12. 
2 sides of 10 & 2 sides of 12.
Multiply 10 & 12 by 2 to get 20 and 24. Add them together to get 44 inches, which is the perimeter. 

2. Multiply 4 x 2 since length is twice width. That is 8. 
Multiply 8 x 4 to get the area of the red paper. That is 32. 
Multiply 3 x 7 to get the area of the blue paper. That is 21.
Subtract 21 from 32 to get the amount of red paper that wasn't covered up.
11 square cm were not covered up. 

Hope this helps!

Does anyone know how to do geometry
Katena32 [7]
So all the angles on one side should equal 180.
50+55= 105
180-105=75
12x+3=75
12x=72
12*6=72
x=6
