A physicist examines 23 sedimentary samples for mercury concentration. The mean mercury concentration for the sample data is 0.036 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.012. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the population mean mercury concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
The 80% confidence interval is [tex]0.0328 < \mu < 0.0392[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 23
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 0.036 \ cc/m^3[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.012[/tex]
From the question we are told the confidence level is 80% , hence the level of significance is
[tex]\alpha = (100 - 80 ) \%[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 0.20[/tex]
Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.282[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = 1.282 * \frac{0.012 }{\sqrt{23} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 0.00321 [/tex]
Generally 80% confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex]0.036 -0.00321 < \mu < 0.036 + 0.00321[/tex]
=> [tex]0.0328 < \mu < 0.0392[/tex]
The inequality x ≥ -3 is satisfied by point (0, -2). True False
please explain!!
Answer:
true
Step-by-step explanation:
x [tex]\geq[/tex] -3, when graphed, is a vertical line which crosses the x-axis at -3
The solution area is then shaded either to the left of that line or to the right
Look at the point (0, -2); the x-coordinate is zero, which is greater than -3
Therefore, if graphing, you would shade the area to the right of the line and every point contained in this area is a solution to x [tex]\geq[/tex] -3

What is the response variable in this scenario?
the age of the car
the 30 cars used in the study
the use of the additive
the gas mileage after the additive is used

What is the area of triangle ABC if a = 10 (degrees), B = 22 (degrees), and C = 70 (degrees) please help me.
A. 454.32 Sq Units
B. 103.37 Sq Units
C. 1.76 Sq Units
D. 17.61 Sq Units
Answer:
D. 17.61 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the ∆ABC, we can apply the formula below:
Area of ∆ABC = ½×a×c×sin(B)
a = 10
c = ??
B = 22°
Let's find c using Sine Rule:
Thus:
[tex] \frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{c}{sin(C)} [/tex]
Where,
a = 10
c = ??
A = 180 - (22 + 70) = 88°
C = 70°
Plug in the values
[tex] \frac{10}{sin(88)} = \frac{c}{sin(70)} [/tex]
Multiply both sides by sin(70)
[tex] \frac{10}{sin(88)} \times sin(70) = \frac{c}{sin(70)} \times sin(70) [/tex]
[tex] \frac{10 \times sin(70)}{sin(88)} = c [/tex]
[tex] 9.4 = c [/tex] (nearest tenth)
✔️Area of ∆ABC = ½×a×c×sin(B)
Plug in the values
Area of ∆ABC = ½ × 10 × 9.4 × sin(22)
Area = 17.61 square units (nearest tenth)

If you have five red balls and five blue balls in a jar what’s the probability of the first ball being red?
Answer:
red balls = 5
blue balls = 5
total balls = 5 blue+5 red
= 10
[tex]p(first \: ball \: being \: red) = \frac{red \: balls}{total \: balls} [/tex]
[tex]p(first \: ball \: being \: red) = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of red balls = 5
Total number of blue balls = 5
Total number of balls in jar = 5 + 5
= 10
Probability of the first ball being red = total number of the red ball/total number of balls in the jar
= [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the probability of the first ball being red = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], 50% or 0.5 (in any way you are instructed to write it in)

A large rectangle is made by joining three identical small rectangles as shown.
The perimeter of one small rectangle is 21cm. The width of one small rectangle is x cm.
Work out the perimeter of the large rectangle. The final line of your answer should be the form, perimeter of large rectangle is ...cm
Answer: 35 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
As shown in the image attached, the A large rectangle is made by joining three identical small rectangles,
The width of one small rectangle is x cm and the length of one small rectangle is 2x cm. Therefore the perimeter of the small rectangle is given as:
2(length + width) = Perimeter
2(2x + x) = 21
2(3x) = 21
6x = 21
x = 21/6 = 3.5 cm
x = 3.5 cm
From the image attached, the width of the large rectangle is 2x (x + x) and the length is 3x (2x + x). Therefore, the perimeter of the large rectangle is:
2(length + width) = Perimeter
2(3x + 2x) = Perimeter
Perimeter = 2(5x)
Perimeter = 10x
Perimeter = 10(3.5)
Perimeter = 35 cm

In a girl's bank, there is a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters which amounts to $9.50. There are four times as many quarters as nickels, and 3 more dimes than nickels. How many coins of each kind are there?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of nickels be x
Let the amount of dimes be y
Let the amount of quarters be z
If the total collection amounts to $9.50, then;
x+y+z = 9.50 ..... 1
If there are four times as many quarters as nickels, then;
z = 4x .... 2
Also if there are 3 more dimes than nickels then;
y = x+3 .... 3
Substitute 2 and 3 into 1;
x + x+3 + 4x = 9.50
6x = 9.50 -5
6x = 4.50
x = 4.50/6
x = $0.75
Since y = x +3
y = 0.75 + 3
y = $3.75
Also, z = 4x
z = 0.75(5)
z = $3.0
Hence there are
