A fast-food restaurant has an automated beverage machine that dispenses a set amount of liquid based on a size setting. Suppose that on the medium setting, the standard deviation of the amounts dispensed is Ï=17 mL . The manager of the restaurant plans on taking a sample of n medium drinks to construct 99\% percent confidence interval for the mean amount of liquid dispensed. They want the margin of error to be no more 10 mL

$n=(\frac{2.58(17)}{10})^2 =19.24 \approx 20$

So the answer for this case would be n=20 rounded up to the nearest integer would be the sample required to obatin a margin of erros or 10 ml at 99% of confidence

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma =17$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =10 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.005;0;1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{2.58(17)}{10})^2 =19.24 \approx 20$

So the answer for this case would be n=20 rounded up to the nearest integer would be the sample required to obatin a margin of erros or 10 ml at 99% of confidence

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180° and ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°

Arecent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month. assume that the distributions follow the normal probability distribution and the population standard deviations are equal. the information is summarized below. statistic men women sample mean 24.85 21.33 sample standard deviation 5.54 4.93 sample size 34 36 at the 0.01 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month? state the decision rule for 0.01 significance level: h0: μmen= μwomen h1: μmen ≠ μwomen. (negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answers to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic.
