A laboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation of Ï = 0.001 gram in repeated weighings. Scale readings in repeated wei

ghings are Normally distributed, with mean equal to the true weight of the specimen. A particular specimen is weighed 8 times on this scale. The average weight is x Â¯ = 4.1602 grams. A 99% confidence interval for the true weight of the specimen is:_______

Answer:

the confidence interval for the true weight of the specimen is;

4.1593 ≤ μ ≤ 4.1611

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Standard deviation; σ = 0.001

Sample size; n = 8

Average weight; x¯ = 4.1602

We are given a 99% confidence interval and the z-value at this interval is 2.576

Formula for confidence interval is;

CI = x¯ ± (zσ/√n)

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

CI = 4.1602 ± (2.576 × 0.001/√8)

CI = 4.1602 ± 0.000911

CI = (4.1602 - 0.000911), (4.1602 + 0.000911)

CI ≈ (4.1593, 4.1611)

Thus, the confidence interval for the true weight will be expressed as;

4.1593 ≤ μ ≤ 4.1611

Where μ represents the true weight

The volume of a cone is 16 pi cubic inches. Its height is 12 inches. What is the radius of the cone? 2 in. 4 in. 12 in. 16 in.

mart [117]

The radius of cone is 2 inches

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The volume of cone is given by formula:</u></em>

$V = \frac{\pi r^2h}{3}$

Where,

"V" is the volume of cone

"r" and "h" are the radius and height of cone respectively

Given that, volume of a cone is 16 pi cubic inches

Its height is 12 inches

Therefore, we get,

V = $16 \pi$ cubic inches

h = 12 inches

r = ?

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>

$16 \pi = \frac{ \pi \times r^2 \times 12}{3}\\\\16 = 4r^2\\\\r^2 = 4\\\\r = \pm 2$

Since, radius cannot be negative, ignore r = -2

Thus radius of cone is 2 inches

Logarithm 2. The alkalinity of a fluid (pH) can be modeled in terms of its hydrogen ion concentration (H^+,measured in moles/lit

makkiz [27]

ok. We are given the following equation:

$ph=-\log (H)$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} P=\text{ alkalinity} \\ H=\text{ hydrogen ion concentration} \end{gathered}$

Since we are asked to determine "H" we will solve for "H" in the equation. To do that we will first multiply both sides by -1:

$-ph=\log (H)$

Now, we will use the following property of logarithms:

$\log _aB=c\rightarrow B=a^c$

Applying the property and having into account that:

$\log (H)=\log _{10}(H)$

We get:

$10^{-pH}=H$

Now we substitute the given value of "pH = 4.5":

$10^{-4.5}=H$

Solving the operation:

$0.000032=H$

Therefore, the hydrogen ion concentration of the fluid is 0.000032

Help? Sorry ik how “Simple” this is to others but I never understood.

Since there are 100 squares and 6 aren’t colored in, the answer should be .94. It’s kind of like counting a dollar since 100 pennies = a dollar.
