The botanist would like to estimate the average weight of mustard seeds grown in a certain type of soil; weight of the seeds is known to follow a normal distribution. The botanist collects a random sample of 10 mustard seeds and finds that the sample average and sample standard deviation are 528 mg and 49 mg respectively. Select from the following the correct 90% confidence interval for the true average weight of mustard seeds grown in Soil Type A using the above sample data.

a. (480.1, 539.9)
b. (525.2, 534.8)
c. (479.4, 540.6)
d. (473.6, 546.4)
e. The necessary assumptions have not been satisfied and the calculation cannot be performed.
f. (469.4, 550.6)

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct 90% confidence interval for the true average weight of mustard seeds grown in Soil Type A using the above sample data is (499.6, 556.4).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

T interval

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 = 1.833

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.833\frac{49}{\sqrt{10}} = 28.4[/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 528 - 28.4 = 499.6 mg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 528 + 28.4 = 556.4 mg

The correct 90% confidence interval for the true average weight of mustard seeds grown in Soil Type A using the above sample data is (499.6, 556.4).

Answers

Answer:

The step-by-step procedure to solve this question is given, using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

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

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

In the U.S., 45% of adults over 65 suffer from one or more of the conditions considered in the study.

This means that [tex]p = 0.45[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation for the approximation, for a sample of n:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 0.45n[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{0.45*0.55n}[/tex]

Calculate the probability that fewer than 320 out of the n

Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X < 320 - 0.5) = P(X < 319.5)[/tex], which is the pvalue of Z when X = 319.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{319.5 - 0.45n}{\sqrt{0.45*0.55n}}[/tex]

Just have to replace the value of n, find Z, and then find its pvalue.

The graph of a quadratic equation in two variables whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis is a parabola.
Select one:
True
False

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the graphs of conic sections (all of which can have axis of symmetry that can be oriented parallel to the y-axis) includes;

Circle; (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Parabola; y = a·(x - h)² + k

[tex]Ellipse; \dfrac{(x - h)^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{(y - k)^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex]

[tex]Hyperbola; \dfrac{(x - h)^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{(y - k)^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex]

The graph of a quadratic equation in two variables whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis can be either a circle, a parabola, an ellipse, or an hyperbola

Therefore, the graph may not be the graph of a parabola and the statement is false

in an equilateral triangle, the incenter, orthocenter, circumcenter, and centroid are __________.

A. On the same line

B. Unequal

C. Imaginary

D. The same point

Answers

Answer:

D. The same point

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle can be defined as a type of triangle that has all of its sides being equal in length.

This ultimately implies that, an equilateral triangle comprises of three (3) congruent sides and as such creates three (3) congruent angles that measures 60° each. Also, the sum of the congruent angles of an equilateral is always equal to 180°.

Hence, in an equilateral triangle, the incenter, orthocenter, circumcenter, and centroid are the same point i.e all of the three (3) centers fall on the same point or spot.
