The following measurements (in picocuries per liter) were recorded by a set of argon gas detectors installed in a research facility:

381.3,394.8,396.1,380
Using these measurements, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean level of argon gas present in the facility. Assume the population is approximately normal.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean level of argon gas present in the facility is (374.4, 401.7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we have to find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.

Sample mean:

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{381.3+394.8+396.1+380}{4} = 388.05[/tex]

Sample standard deviation:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(381.3-388.05)^2+(394.8-388.05)^2+(396.1-388.05)^2+(380-388.05)^2}{3}} = 8.58[/tex]

Confidence interval:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so 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 = 4 - 1 = 3

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 3 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 3.1824

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.1824\frac{8.58}{\sqrt{4}} = 13.65[/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 388.05 - 13.65 = 374.4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 388.05 + 13.65 = 401.7

The 95% confidence interval for the mean level of argon gas present in the facility is (374.4, 401.7).

The largest angle in a triangle is six times the smallest angle. The middle angle is three times the smallest angle. Given that the sum of the angles in a triangle is , find the measure of each angle.

Answers

Answer:

Smallest: 18° Middle: 54° Largest: 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by writing out what we know in a series of equations:

s= smallest angle, m= medium angle, L= largest angle.

Since the largest is 6 times the smallest we have:

L=6s

Since the middle is 3 times the smallest we have:

m=3s

Since the 3 interior angle measures of a triangle always must equal 180°, we have:

s+m+L=180

Then we plug in our L and m into the third equation:

s+3s+6s=180

Combining like terms and solving:

10s=180

s=18

Then we plug in 18 for s into the first 2 equations to get:

L= 6* 18

L= 108

and

m= 3* 18

m= 54

So s= 18, m= 54, and L=108.

To check the answer we can:

Add the three to make sure they equal 180. Make sure the smallest is the smallest, and the largest is the largest.

Answers

Answer:

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Proportion of 0.6

This means that [tex]p = 0.6[/tex]

Sample of 46

This means that [tex]n = 46[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{46}} = 0.0722[/tex]

Probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

p-value of Z when X = 0.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.5 - 0.6}{0.0722}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.38[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.38[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0838

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

If BcA, AnB=(1,4,5)and AuB= (1,2,3,4,5,6) find B?​

pls give an explanation if you don’t have one still pls give an answer

Answers

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

y/x has to be the same number no matter what except at point (0 0) which it must also include for it to be a direct variation.

*y=2x+3 is not a direct variation because you can not write it as y/x=k where k is some constant number. If we were y=2x, then yes since y/x=2.

*You could also take two points and see if they are proportional. That is, you can see if y2/x2 gives the same value as y1/x1 where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points on the line y=2x+3. This must work for every pair of points on the linear relation except at x=0 (where you would or should have y=0 if it is directly proportional).

Let's try it out. If x=1, then y=2(1)+3=5.

5/1=5

If x=2, then y=2(2)+3=7

7/2=3.5

As you can see 5 doesn't equal 3.5.

*For it to be a direct variation, it also must contain the point (0,0) and be a diagonal line when graphed. It can also be written in form y=kx where k is a constant number. This fails two of the the things I mentioned. It doesn't contain point (0,0) because y=2(0)+3=3 not 0. It cannot be written in form y=kx because of the plus 3.

If it were y=2x, then the answer would be yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

(5) The multiplicative inverse of a number n, is the number which when multiplied by n will give a result of 1 which is a multiplicative identity. The multiplicative inverse of a number is actually the reciprocal of that number. For example, the multiplicative inverse of n is 1/n. The multiplicative inverse of 5 is 1/5. The multiplicative inverse of 5/6 is 6/5.

Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of [tex]\frac{-11}{15}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{-15}{11}[/tex]

(6) To solve 7m + 12 = -4m + 78, follow these steps;

i. Collect like terms by putting terms with m on the left hand side and the terms without m on the right hand side as follows;

7m + 4m = 78 - 12

ii. Now solve both sides;

11m = 66

iii. Divide both sides by 11;

[tex]\frac{11m}{11} = \frac{66}{11}[/tex]

m = 6

(7) Let the number be x;

10 more than twice number is 22 implies that

10 + 2x = 22

Now solve the equation;

2x = 22 - 10

2x = 12

x = 6

(8) The interior angles of a given polygon are the angles of its vertices that are within or inside of the polygon.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by;

(n-2) x 180°

where;

n = number of sides of the polygon.

For example;

For a triangle, which has n = 3 sides, the sum of these interior angles is (3 - 2) x 180° = 180°

For a rectangle/square, which has n = 4 sides, the sum of these interior angles is (4 - 2) x 180° = 360°.

For a pentagon, which has n = 5 sides, the sum of these interior angles is (5 - 2) x 180° = 540°

Therefore, depending on the number of sides n, the sum of the interior angles of a given polygon is given by;

(n-2) x 180°

Jack and Diane are jogging back and forth along a one-mile path. They started out at 9:00 A.M. from opposite ends of the path. They passed each other in 10 minutes when Diane has gone 1/3 mile. What time will they first meet at one end of the path? You have to assume they keep jogging at the same speeds.
Explain :

Answers

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

that problem description is imprecise.

I think what is meant here : they each keep jogging at their own same speed.

Diane's speed is 1/3 miles / 10 min.

Jack's speed is 2/3 miles / 10 min.

now, to bring this to regular miles/hour format, we need to find the factor between 10 minutes and an hour (60 minutes) and multiply numerator and denominator (top and bottom of the ratio) by it.

60/10 = 6.

so, we need to multiply both speeds up there by 6/6 to get the miles/hour speeds.

Diane : (1/3 × 6) / hour = 2 miles / hour

Jack : (2/3 × 6) / hour = 4 miles / hour

since Jack is running twice as fast as Diane, she will finish one length in the same time he finishes a round trip (back and forth).

Diane running 1 mile going 2 miles/hour takes her 30 minutes.

Jack running 2 miles (back and forth) going 4 miles/hour will take him also 30 minutes.

so, they will meet at his starting point after 30 minutes.
