A cookie factory monitored the number of broken cookies per pack yesterday.

Confidence Interval - 2.290 < S < 2.965

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

A chocolate chip cookie manufacturing company recorded the number of chocolate chips in a sample of 50 cookies. The mean is 23.33 and the standard deviation is 2.6. Construct a 80% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the numbers of chocolate chips in all such cookies.

Solution

Given  

n=50

x=23.33

s=2.6

Alpha = 1-0.80 = 0.20  

X^2(a/2,n-1) = X^2(0.10, 49) = 63.17

sqrt(63.17) = 7.948

X^2(1 - a/2,n-1) = X^2(0.90, 49) = 37.69

sqrt(37.69) = 6.139

s*sqrt(n-1) = 18.2

confidence interval:

(18.2/7.948) < S < (18.2/6.139)

2.290 < S < 2.965

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
