A quality control expert at a pretzel factory took a random sample of 10 bags from a production run of over 500 bags and measured the amount of pretzels in each bag in the sample. The sample data were roughly symmetric with a mean of 450 and a standard deviation of 15 g. Based on this sample, which of the following is a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of pretzels per bag (in grams) in this production run?
A. 450 ± 4.743
B. 450 ± 7.803
C. 450 ± 8.695
D. 450 ± 15
e. 450 ± 27.495

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 450 ± 8.695

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used 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 = 10 - 1 = 9

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 1.8331

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.8331\frac{15}{\sqrt{10}} = 8.695[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

Confidence interval is sample mean plus/minus margin of error. So

[tex]450 \pm 8.695[/tex]

The correct answer is given by option C.

Are they statistical questions?

A question is said to be statistical if it can be answered through data collection and if there are variances in the collected data.

Using this yardstick, we can say that (1) is a statistical question because the frequency at which the band perform in a week can be determined by gathering data of their past practice.

This can not be said of (2) because (2) has not been done yet, there is no available data to make predictions and lastly, the variance of an unavailable data can not be determined.

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 200,000 to 900 in 18 hours. At this rate of decay,
how many bacteria was there at 10 hours? Round to the nearest whole number,

Answers

Answer:

9,942 bacteria were there at 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for population decay:

The equation for population decay, after t hours, is given by:

[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 200,000 to 900 in 18 hours.

This means that [tex]P(0) = 200000[/tex] and that when [tex]t = 18, P(t) = 900[/tex]. So we use this to find r.

[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]900 = 200000(1-r)^{18}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{18} = \frac{900}{200000}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[18]{(1-r)^{18}} = \sqrt[18]{\frac{900}{200000}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = (\frac{900}{200000})^{\frac{1}{18}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.7407[/tex]

So

[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]P(t) = 200000(0.7407)^t[/tex]

At this rate of decay, how many bacteria was there at 10 hours?

This is P(10). So

[tex]P(10) = 200000(0.7407)^{10} = 9941.5[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

9,942 bacteria were there at 10 hours.

at first an athlete jogs at 4 miles per hr and then jogs at 6 miles per hour, traveling 8 miles in 1.5 hours. how long does the athlete jogs at each speed? the athlete jogged ? hours at a speed of 4 miles per hr and ? hour(s) at a speed of 6 miles per hour? ​

Answers

Answer:

The athlete jogged at 4 miles per hour for 30 minutes, and jogged at 6 miles per hour for 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at first an athlete jogs at 4 miles per hour and then jogs at 6 miles per hour, traveling 8 miles in 1.5 hours, to determine how long does the athlete jogs at each speed the following calculation must be performed:

4 x 1.5 + 6 x 0 = 6

4 x 1 + 6 x 0.5 = 7

4 x 0.75 + 6 x 0.75 = 7.5

4 x 0.5 + 6 x 1 = 8

Therefore, the athlete jogged at 4 miles per hour for 30 minutes, and jogged at 6 miles per hour for 1 hour.

This eliminates choices B and D.

If you look at the numbers in parentheses, you see that the 1/4 and 3/4 will have a sum of 1, so the only fraction in the sum will be 2/3. This eliminates choice A.

The only viable answer choice is C.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]AB= 20.9[/tex]

[tex]A = 33.2^\circ[/tex]

[tex]C = 54.8^\circ[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above triangle

Required

Complete the lengths

To do this, we make use of sine rule.

[tex]\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{14}{\sin A} = \frac{24}{\sin 70}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{14}{\sin A} = 25.54[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]\sin A * 25.54 = 14[/tex]

[tex]\sin A = \frac{14}{25.54}[/tex]

[tex]\sin A = 0.5482[/tex]

Take Arc sine of both sides

[tex]A = sin^{-1}(0.5482)[/tex]

[tex]A = 33.2^\circ[/tex]

To calculate C, we have:

[tex]C = 180 -A-B[/tex] --- angles in a triangle

[tex]C = 180 -55.2-70[/tex]

[tex]C = 54.8^\circ[/tex]

Calculate length AB using the sine rule.

[tex]\frac{AB}{sin C} = \frac{AC}{B}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{AB}{sin 54.8} = \frac{24}{sin 70}[/tex]

Make AB the subject

[tex]AB= sin 54.8*\frac{24}{sin 70}[/tex]

[tex]AB= sin 54.8* 25.54[/tex]

[tex]AB= 20.9[/tex] -- approximated
