For a group experiment, your science class measured the fine-particulate concentrations in the air at random places around campus, and estimated a sample average of 22 μg/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter). If 144 readings were taken, and the standard deviation of the sample measurements was 4 μg/m3, you are 99.7% confident that actual concentration of fine particulates at the school is

Respuesta :

Answer:

The class interval is from (22.8748 ug/m³ - 21.1252 ug/m³).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size(n)= 144

Sample mean [tex]\mu= 22 ug/m^3[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]\sigma=3.5 ug/m^3[/tex]

To find : 99.7% confident that actual concentration of fine particulates at the school is?

Solution :

The formula for confidence interval is

[tex]CI=\mu \pm z\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Substituting the values in the formula,

[tex]CI=22 \pm 3\times\dfrac{3.5}{\sqrt{144}}[/tex]

[tex]CI=22 \pm 3\times\dfrac{3.5}{12}[/tex]

[tex]CI=22 \pm 3\times 0.2916[/tex]

[tex]CI=22 \pm 0.8748[/tex]

[tex]CI=22+0.8748, 22-0.8748[/tex]

[tex]CI=22.8748, 21.1252[/tex]

Therefore, The class interval is from (22.8748 ug/m³ - 21.1252 ug/m³).

Answer:

21 ug/m^3 - 23 ug/m^3
