It is possible to get a false positive or false negative result when testing for ions. Suppose a situation that could lead to a false positive for a particular ion. Choose a different ion and show how a false negative could result. Which do you think is more likely to happen, a false positive or false negative result? Explain your reasoning.

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population mean mu . assume that the population has a normal distribution. a laboratory tested twelve chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol was 185 milligrams with sequals 17.6 milligrams. a confidence interval of 173.8 mgless than muless than 196.2 mg is constructed for the true mean cholesterol content of all such eggs. it was assumed that the population has a normal distribution. what confidence level does this interval represent?

Mr. jones determined that the equation y = 98 - 16/5 x could be used to predict his students' unit test scores, based on the number of days, x, a student was absent during the unit. what was the meaning of the y-intercept of the function? (by the way the 16/5 is a )
