A researcher examines 27 water samples for iron concentration. The mean iron concentration for the sample data is 0.802 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.093. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the population mean iron 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.

90% confidence interval for the population mean iron concentration is [0.771 , 0.832].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a researcher examines 27 water samples for iron concentration. The mean iron concentration for the sample data is 0.802 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.093.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 90% confidence interval for the population mean iron concentration is given by;

         P.Q. = ~

where, = sample mean iron concentration = 0.802 cc/cubic meter

             s = sample standard deviation = 0.093

             n = number of water samples = 27

              = population mean

Here for constructing 90% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 90% confidence interval for the population mean, is ;

P(-1.706 < < 1.706) = 0.90  {As the critical value of t at 26 degree of

                                                 freedom are -1.706 & 1.706 with P = 5%}

P(-1.706 < < 1.706) = 0.90

P( < < ) = 0.90

P( < < ) = 0.90

90% confidence interval for = [ ,  ]

                                                 = [ , ]

                                                 = [0.771 , 0.832]

Therefore, 90% confidence interval for the population mean iron concentration is [0.771 , 0.832].

step-by-step explanation:

3,6 and 7.

step-by-step explanation:

a) unit place of 37 is 7

so the unit place of cube of 37 will be

7³= 343=3

the answer is 3.

b) unit place of 56 is 6, so the unit place of cube of 56 will be

6³= 216=6

the answer is 6.

c) unit place of 133 is 3, so the unit place of cube of 133 will be

3³= 27= 7.

the answer is 7.
