The inspection division of the Lee County Weights and Measures Department is interested in estimating the actual amount of soft

drink that is placed in 2-liter bottles at the local bottling plant of a large nationally known soft-drink company. A random sample of 64 bottles obtained from this bottling plant indicated a sample average and standard deviation of 2.99 and .06 liters repectively. Set up a 98% confidence interval estimate of the true average amount of soft drink in each bottle.

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval estimate of the true average amount of soft drink in each bottle is between 2.97 liters and 3.01 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution 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 = 64 - 1 = 63

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 63 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99. So we have T = 2.387

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.387\frac{0.06}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.02

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 2.99 - 0.02 = 2.97 liters

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.99 + 0.02 = 3.01 liters

The 98% confidence interval estimate of the true average amount of soft drink in each bottle is between 2.97 liters and 3.01 liters.

Hans invests $550 at a rate of x% per year compound interest. At the end of 10 years, the value of the investment is $638.30, co
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

1.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

x per cent is written as 0.01x as a decimal fraction.

638.30 = 550(1 + 0.01x)^10

(1 + 0.01x)^10 = 638.30/550

Taking logarithms:

10 ln (1 + 0.01x) = ln ( 638.30/550)

ln (1 + 0.01x) =  ln ( 638.30/550)/ 10

ln(1 + 0.01x) = 0.014889

Converting the logs:-

1 + 0.01x = e^0.014889 = 1.015

0.01x = 1 - 1.015

0.01x = 0.015

x = 0.015/ 0.01

= 1.5.

Runchuan filled his 6-cup jar with honey. How many times could he fill his 2-fluid-ounce honey bear
nlexa [21]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 48 fluid-ounce in a cup, we can do 6 x 48

6 x 48 = 288

Now we know how much fluid ounces are in the 6 cups we can divide by the honey bear ( 2 fluid ounce ).

288/2 = 144

Colin maxed out his credit card at $4,000
FinnZ [79.3K]
So Colin is required to pay $300 for 15 total months in order to get his credit card balance down to $0.

In order to find this total, we need to take the amount he is going to pay per month ($300) and multiply is by the total number of months that he is going to be paying that amount (15):

$300 * 15 months = $4,500

The total amount of money that he is going to pay after his card balance reaches $0 is $4,500.

However, Colin only maxed out his credit card to $4,000 - the rest of the money is due to interest. So to find this amount, we take the total amount that he paid ($4,500) and subtract it from the total amount he initially maxed out his card with ($4,000):

$4,500 - $4,000 = $500

The amount of interest that Colin has paid when his credit card balance is $0 is $500.
