The method of tree-ring dating gave the following years A.D. for an archaeological excavation site. Assume that the population of x values has an approximately normal distribution.

1,2851,1871,2221,1941,2681,3161,2751,3171,275

Required:
a. Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to find the sample mean year x and sample standard deviations.
b. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean of all tree-ring dates from this archaeological site. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The sample mean is 1260 and the standard deviation is 48.

b) The 90% confidence interval for the mean of all tree-ring dates from this archaeological site is (1230, 1290).

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values. So

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{1285 + 1187 + 1222 + 1194 + 1268 + 1316 + 1275 + 1317 + 1275}{9} = 1260[/tex]

Standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the differences squared between each value and the mean, divided by the one less than the sample size. So

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(1285-1260)^2 + (1187-1260)^2 + (1222-1260)^2 + (1194-1260)^2 + (1268-1260)^2 + ...}{8}} = 48[/tex]

The sample mean is 1260 and the standard deviation is 48.

Question b:

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,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 9 - 1 = 8

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 8 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 1.8595

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.8595\frac{48}{\sqrt{9}} = 30[/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 1260 - 30 = 1230

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1260 + 30 = 1290

The 90% confidence interval for the mean of all tree-ring dates from this archaeological site is (1230, 1290).

Find an equation in slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the specified conditions.
Through (8,-3), perpendicular to -6x + 7y=-62.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = - \frac{7}{6} x + 6 \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

-6x +7y= -62

Rewriting this equation into the slope-intercept form:

7y= 6x -62

[tex]y = \frac{6}{7} x - \frac{62}{7} [/tex]

The product of the slope of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.

Let the slope of the unknown line be m.

[tex]m( \frac{6}{7} ) = - 1[/tex]

[tex]m = - 1 \div \frac{6}{7} [/tex]

[tex]m = - \frac{7}{6} [/tex]

Substitute the value of m into the equation:

[tex]y = - \frac{7}{6} x + c[/tex]

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.

When x= 8, y= -3,

[tex] - 3 = - \frac{ 7}{6} (8) + c[/tex]

[tex] - 3 = - \frac{28}{3} + c[/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{28}{3} - 3[/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{19}{3} [/tex]

[tex]c = 6 \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Thus, the equation of the line is [tex]y = - \frac{7}{6} x + 6 \frac{1}{3} [/tex].

Answers

Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4/9 and 11/18

Solve:

STEP ONE: Make the denominators equal by determining the LCM

LCM = Least Common Multiple

First Five multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45

First FIve multiples of 18 = 18, 36, 54, 72, 90

As we can see from the list above, both 18 and 36 overlap, however, 18 is less than 36. Therefore, 18 is the LCM.

STEP TWO: Compare the size and determine the greater one.

4/9 = (4 × 2) / (9 × 2) = 8/18

11/18 = 11/18

Since 11 > 8, therefore, 11/18 is greater than 8/18

STEP THREE: Find the difference between the two fractions.

 11/18 - 4/9

=11/18 - 8/18

=(11 - 8) / 18

= 3 / 18

= 1/6

The probability of getting exactly 1 green, 1 yellow, and 2 red when pulling 8 balls is 0.000303.

The probability of getting first a green, then another green, and then in any order 2 yellow and 2 red when pulling 6 balls is 0.00283.

(a) Probability of getting exactly 1 green, 1 yellow, and 2 red when pulling 8 balls:

Total number of balls = 29

Total number of balls to be pulled = 8

Number of ways to choose 1 green out of 8 = C(8, 1) = 8

Number of ways to choose 1 yellow out of the remaining 7 = C(7, 1) = 7

Number of ways to choose 2 red out of the remaining 6 = C(6, 2) = 15

Total favorable outcomes = 8 x 7 x 15 = 840

Total possible outcomes = C(29, 8) = 2,765,905

Probability

= favorable outcomes / possible outcomes

= 840 / 2,765,905

= 0.000303

Therefore, the probability of getting exactly 1 green, 1 yellow, and 2 red when pulling 8 balls is 0.000303.

(b) Total number of balls = 29

Total number of balls to be pulled = 6

Number of ways to choose 1 green out of 8 = C(8, 1) = 8

Number of ways to choose another green out of the remaining 7 = C(7, 1) = 7

Number of ways to choose 2 yellow out of the remaining 5 = C(5, 2) = 10

Number of ways to choose 2 red out of the remaining 3 = C(3, 2) = 3

Total favorable outcomes = 8 x 7 x 10 x 3 = 1,680

Total possible outcomes = C(29, 6) = 593,775

Probability

= favorable outcomes / possible outcomes

= 1,680 / 593,775

= 0.00283

Therefore, the probability of getting first a green, then another green, and then in any order 2 yellow and 2 red when pulling 6 balls is 0.00283.

(c) Probability of getting first and last a green, and then in any order 2 yellow and 2 red when pulling 8 balls:

Total number of balls = 29

Total number of balls to be pulled = 8

Number of ways to choose the first green = C(8, 1) = 8

Number of ways to choose the last green = C(7, 1) = 7

Number of ways to choose 2 yellow out of the remaining 6 = C(6, 2) = 15

Number of ways to choose 2 red out of the remaining 4 = C(4, 2) = 6

Number of ways to choose the remaining 2 balls (either blue or black) = C(5, 2) = 10

Total favorable outcomes = 8 x 7 x 15 x 6x 10 = 50,400

Total possible outcomes = C(29, 8) = 2,765,905

Probability

= 50,400 / 2,765,905 ≈ 0.0182

if 24 bags of sugar with equal weight weigh 21 kg, how many bags of sugar would weigh 122kg?​

Answers

Answer:

24 bags = 21 kg

1.142 bag = 1 kg

About 139 bags = 122 kg

You start off with 24 bags that equal the same amount as 21 kg. You need to find out how many bags of sugar equal the same amount as 122 kg. The first line is a ratio and to find your answer you need to figure out what is 1 kilogram equal to in the amount of bags. You divide both sides by 21 leaving 1.142 bag equal to 1 kilogram. In order to find 122 kilograms, you have to multiply both sides by 122 kilograms which would give you about 139 bags = 122 kilograms.

a tube has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 4 inches. what's its approximate volume?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

that is the same as the volume of a cylinder :

pi×r²×height = pi×4²×4 = pi×64 = 201.0619298... in³

≈ 201 in³

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The volume of the tube is 201.0619 inches³.

What is volume?

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula as shown below,

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

where r is the radius of the cylinder while h is the height of the cylinder.

Given that a tube has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 4 inches. Therefore, the volume of the tube will be,

The volume of the tube = π × R² × h

                                       = π × (4 inches)² × (4 inches)

                                       = 64π inches³

                                       = 201.0619 inches³

Hence, the volume of the tube is 201.0619 inches³.
