The question is incomplete. Here is the complete qeustion.

In a sample of seven cars, each car was tested for nitrogen-oxide emissions (in grams per mile) and the following results were obtained: 0.10 0.13 0.16 0.15 0.14 0.008 0.15

(a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean nitrogen-oxide emissions of all cars.

(b) If the EPA requires that nitrogen-oxide emissions be less than 0.165 g/mi, based on the 99% confidence interval in (a), can we safely conclude that this requirement is being met?

(a) 0.089 ≤ μ ≤ 0.171

(b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To determine the confidence interval, first calculate the mean (X) and standard deviation (s) of the sample

X =

X = 0.13

s =

s = 0.029

The degrees of freedom is

N - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6

And since the confidence is of 99%:

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

The t-test statistics for is 3.707

(Value found in the t-distribution table)

Now, calculate Error:

E = .

E = 3.707.

E = 0.041

The interval will be:  

0.13 - 0.041 ≤ μ ≤ 0.13+0.041

0.089 ≤ μ ≤ 0.171

(b) No, because according to the interval, the nitrode-oxide emissions range from 0.089 to 0.171, which is greater than required by EPA.

.24

step-by-step explanation:

the probability is   .24

the first player had the highest probability of getting a silver marble

the game could be made fair by adding back the marble that was drawn after each draw

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
