Answer:

Number of ml of 40% sugar = x = 1000mL

Number of ml of 85% sugar used = y = 800mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the

Number of ml of 40% sugar = x

Number of ml of 85% sugar used = y

From the above question, our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 1800mL ....... Equation 1

x = 1800 - y

40% × x + 85% × y = 60% × 1800mL

0.4x + 0.85y = 1080.... Equation 2

We substitute 1800 - y for x in Equation 2

0.4(1800 - y) + 0.85y = 1080

720 - 0.4y + 0.85y = 1080

- 0.4y + 0.85y = 1080 - 720

0.45y = 360

y = 360/0.45

y = 800mL

Solving for x

x = 1800 - y

x = 1800 - 800

x = 1000mL

Therefore,

Number of ml of 40% sugar = x = 1000mL

Number of ml of 85% sugar used = y = 800mL

Intellectual development (Perry) scores were determined for 21 students in a first-year, project-based design course. (Recall th
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 21.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 21-1 = 20.

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level \alpha and divide by 2. So:

\frac{1-0.99}{2} = \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.005

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 20 and 0.005 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have T = 2.528

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

s = \frac{0.40}{\sqrt{21}} = 0.0873

Now, we multiply T and s

M = 2.528*0.0873 = 0.2207

Then

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So:

L = 3.27 - 0.2207 = 3.0493

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So:

LCL = 3.27 + 0.2207 = 3.4907

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

Interpretation:

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.
