In a random sample of 7 residents of the state of Maine, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 1.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.23 pounds.
a. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine. Assume the population is approximately normal.
b. Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine is between 1.19 and 1.61 pounds.

b) [tex]T_c = 2.4469[/tex]

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 = 7 - 1 = 6

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.4469, and the answer to question b is [tex]T_c = 2.4469[/tex]

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.4469\frac{0.23}{\sqrt{7}} = 0.21[/tex]

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 1.4 - 0.21 = 1.19 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.4 + 0.21 = 1.61 pounds.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Maine is between 1.19 and 1.61 pounds.

Angle ADB = 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 60 60 60 triangle, which means all of its angles equal 60 degrees. Therefore angle ADB is 60 degrees.

All triangle add up to 180, you got 2 angles which are 60. So 60+60+x=180 simplify into 120+x=180 and 180-120 is 60, therefore the missing angle is 60 degrees

Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Length of one side of the image triangle}}{\text{Length of one side of the preimage}}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Switch x and y, and solve for y

[tex]f^{-1}(x) =\frac{(x -4)^3}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = 3\sqrt{8x} + 4[/tex]

Required

Complete the steps to determine the inverse function

Solving (a): Complete the blanks

Switch x and y, and solve for y

Solving (b): Determine the inverse function

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt[3]{8x} + 4[/tex]

Replace f(x) with y

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{8x} + 4[/tex]

Switch x and y

[tex]x = \sqrt[3]{8y} + 4[/tex]

Now, we solve for y

Subtract 4 from both sides

[tex]x -4= \sqrt[3]{8y} + 4-4[/tex]

[tex]x -4= \sqrt[3]{8y}[/tex]

Take cube roots of both sides

[tex](x -4)^3= 8y[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8

[tex]\frac{(x -4)^3}{8} = y[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y =\frac{(x -4)^3}{8}[/tex]

Hence, the inverse function is:

[tex]f^{-1}(x) =\frac{(x -4)^3}{8}[/tex]

Answer:

A function of the form f(x)=ab^x is modified so that the b value remains the same but the a value is increased by 2. How do the domain and range of a new function compare to the domain and range of the original function?

Answers

Answer:

The domain and range remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

First, we must determine what increasing a by 2 really does to the exponential function.

In f(x)=ab^x, a represents the initial value (y-intercept) of the function while b represents the common ratio for each consecutive value of f(x).

Increasing a by 2 means moving the y-intercept of the function up by 2. If the original function contained the point (0,x), the new function would contain the point (0,x+2).

The domain remains the same; it is still the set of all real x-values. This is true for any exponential function, regardless of any transformations.

The range remains the same as well; for the original function, it would have been [tex]y\neq 0[/tex]. Because increasing a by 2 does not move the entire function up or down, the range remains the same.

I hope this helps!

obtain the value of X for which (X+1),(X-5),(X-2) is a geometric progression.hence find the sum of the first 12 terms of the progression.​

Answers

If x + 1, x - 5, and x - 2 are in a geometric progression, then there is some constant r for which

x - 5 = r (x + 1)

==>   r = (x - 5) / (x + 1)

and

x - 2 = r (x - 5)

==>   r = (x - 2) / (x - 5)

Then

(x - 5) / (x + 1) = (x - 2) / (x - 5)

Solve for x :

(x - 5)² = (x - 2) (x + 1)

x ² - 10x + 25 = x ² - x - 2

-9x = -27

x = 3

It follows that the ratio between terms is

r = (3 - 5) / (3 + 1) = -2/4 = -1/2

Now, assuming x + 1 = 4 is the first term of the G.P., the n-th term a(n) is given by

a(n) = 4 (-1/2)ⁿ⁻¹

The sum of the first 12 terms - denoted here by S - is then

S = 4 (-1/2)⁰ + 4 (-1/2)¹ + 4 (-1/2)² + … + 4 (-1/2)¹¹

Solve for S :

S = 4 [(-1/2)⁰ + (-1/2)¹ + (-1/2)² + … + (-1/2)¹¹]

(-1/2) S = 4 [(-1/2)¹ + (-1/2)² + (-1/2)³ + … + (-1/2)¹²]

==>   S - (-1/2) S = 4 [(-1/2)⁰ - (-1/2)¹²]

==>   3/2 S = 4 (1 - 1/4096)

==>   S = 8/3 (1 - 1/4096)

==>   S = 1365/512

y = -9

Answers

Answer:

y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular to the y-axis means it is parallel to the x-axis.

so, it is a flat line, which means the slope is 0 (it has the save y value for every x value).

therefore the equation is

y = 0×x + b

of simply

y = b

to get b we look at the point we know about (0, -9).

-9 = b

aha !

so, the line equation is simply

y = -9

There is a close relationship between the air pressure inside a hurricane and its maximum sustained wind speed: y=−1.22x+1250 where x is the air pressure in millibars (kPa) and y is the wind speed in knots (nautical miles per hour).

A. the change in wind speed for every 1 kPa increase in air pressure
B. the wind speed of a hurricane with an air pressure of 1000 kPa
C. the wind speed of a hurricane with an air pressure of 0 kPa
D. the change in wind speed for every hour

Answers

Answer:

A. the change in wind speed for every 1 kPa increase in air pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b;

where y, x are variables, m is the slope (rate of change) of the line and b is the y intercept (value of y when x = 0)

Given the line y=−1.22x+1250 where x is the air pressure in millibars (kPa) and y is the wind speed in knots.

The slope of the line is -1.22. The slope means that there is a decrease in wind speed by 1.22 miles per hour for every increase of 1 kPa in air pressure.

How long will it take the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/2 acres?

Answers

Answer:

1. 15 days

2. 0.17 acre.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determination of the number of days.

From the question given above,

The crew clears ⅓ acre of land in 2 days.

Therefore, the crew will clear 2½ acres in = (2½ × 2) / ⅓

= (5/2 × 2) × 3

= 15 days

Thus, the crew will clear 2½ acres in 15 days

2. Determination of the acre of land.

From the question given above,

The crew clears ⅓ acre of land in 2 days.

Therefore, the crew will clear X acre of land in 1 day i.e

X acre of land = ⅓ ÷ 2

X acre of land = ⅓ × ½

X acre of land = 1/6

X acre of land = 0.17 acre

Thus, the crew will clear 0.17 acre of land in 1 day

Some other places, a comma is used to identify the beginning of the decimal fraction. In that form, this number has a fractional part that has 3 as its thousandths digit. The value of 3 is less than 5, so the number is simply truncated at the hundredths place.

five eights of the people on a hike were children. there are 20 children on the hike. how many people total

Answers

Answer:

There were a total of 32 people on the hike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of people total by p.  Then:

(5/8)p = c = the number of children

Since there are 20 children on the hike, (5/8)p must equal 20:

(5/8)p = 20

Solve for p by multiplying both sides by (8/5):

(8/5)(5/8)p = 20(8/5), or

              p = 32

There were a total of 32 people on the hike.

What is average?

The average is the sum of the numbers divided by total numbers .

Number of juniors [tex]=450[/tex]

Number of Seniors [tex]=600[/tex]

And,

Cartons of milk Juniors drink in [tex]5[/tex] days [tex]=1500[/tex] cartoons

So,

Cartons of milk Juniors drink in [tex]1[/tex] day [tex]=\frac{1500}{5} =300[/tex]

So,

The average Cartons of milk Juniors drink in [tex]1[/tex] day [tex]=\frac{300}{450} =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

And,

According to the question,

The average Cartons of milk Juniors drink in [tex]1[/tex] day [tex]=[/tex] The average Cartons of milk Seniors drink in [tex]1[/tex] day

i.e.

The average Cartons of milk Seniors drink in [tex]1[/tex] day [tex]=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

So,

Number of total cartons of milk the [tex]600[/tex] seniors drink each school day [tex]=\frac{2}{3}*600=400[/tex]
