1. The sample mean weight of 100 chimpanzees was measured to be 82.4 pounds, with a standard deviation of 12.6 pounds. Using a 1

% level of significance, what could we claim about the population mean weight for all chimpanzees so that it will fail to be rejected?​

Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, we could claim that the mean weight in pounds is in the interval (79.1, 85.7).

<h3>What is a t-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • t is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • s is the standard deviation for the sample.

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed <em>99% confidence interval</em>, with 100 - 1 = <em>99 df</em>, is t = 2.6259.

The other parameters have values given by:

\overline{x} = 82.4, s = 12.6, n = 100.

We could claim that the mean is any value in the 99% confidence interval, which has bounds given by:

\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 82.4 - 2.6259\frac{12.6}{\sqrt{100}} = 79.1

\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 82.4 + 2.6259\frac{12.6}{\sqrt{100}} = 85.7

A rocket is launched from the top of a 99-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 122 ft/s.
Harman [31]
Remember that c is the initial height. Since we the rocket is in a 99-foot cliff, c=99. Also, we know that the velocity of the rocket is 122 ft/s; therefore v=122
Lets replace the values into the the vertical motion formula to get:
0=-16 t^{2} +122t+99
Notice that the rocket hits the ground at the bottom of the cliff, which means that the final height is 99-foot bellow its original position; therefore, our final height will be h=-99
Lets replace this into our equation to get:
-99=-16 t^{2} +122t+99
-16 t^{2} +122+198=0

Now we can apply the quadratic formula t= \frac{-b+or- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} where a=-16, b=122, and c=198
t= \frac{-122+or- \sqrt{ 122^{2}-(4)(-16)(198) } }{(2)(-16)}
t= \frac{-122+ \sqrt{27556} }{-32} or t= \frac{-122- \sqrt{27556} }{-32}
t= \frac{-122+166}{-32} or t= \frac{-122-166}{-32}
t= \frac{-11}{8} or t=9

Since the time can't be negative, we can conclude that the rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds.
