Based on information from Consumer Reports, a random sample of 35 thirty-gram cookies had a sample mean of 146 calories. The sta

ndard deviation is know to be σ = 12. Find a 90% confidence interval for mean calories in a 30-gram serving of all chocolate chip cookies. Round the numbers in your interval to the nearest whole number.

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90% confidence interval for mean calories in a 30-gram serving of all chocolate chip cookies is (143, 149).

We are given the <em>standard deviation</em> for the population, which is why the <em>z-distribution </em>is used to solve this question.

The information given is:

  • Sample mean of \overline{x} = 146.
  • Population standard deviation of \sigma = 12.
  • Sample size of n = 65.

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The critical value, using a z-distribution calculator, for a <u>95% confidence interval</u> is z = 1.645, hence:

\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 146 - 1.645\frac{12}{\sqrt{35}} = 143

\overline{x} + z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 146 + 1.645\frac{12}{\sqrt{35}} = 149

The 90% confidence interval for mean calories in a 30-gram serving of all chocolate chip cookies is (143, 149).

A = 7+10n help me plz​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

I'll help you out. Question: Are you solving for A or for N?

If you're solving for A: A=10n + 7

If you're solving for N: Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable. n = A/10 - 7/10

Hope this helped!

What are the advantages to using exponential notation?
Butoxors [25]
The major advantage of exponential notation is that it simplifies a number into a more readable form, so we don't have to count all the zeros every time we look at it / calculate it. It helps us to identify big numbers as small decimals which we are more familiar with.

Simplify the rational expression: <br> 4a²-36/24-8a<br><br> (__/2)
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

  • - (a + 3) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • (4a² - 36)/(24 - 8a) =
  • 4( a² - 9) /8(3 - a) =
  • ( a² - 9) /2(3 - a) =
  • (a + 3)(a - 3)/2(3 - a) =
  • - (a + 3) (3 - a)/2(3 - a) =
  • - (a + 3) / 2
