A market research company wishes to know how many energy drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 80% confidence interval for the mean and are assuming that the population standard deviation for the number of energy drinks consumed each week is 0.9. The study found that for a sample of 164 adults the mean number of energy drinks consumed per week is 7.9. Construct the desired confidence interval. Round your answers to one decimal place.

The confidence interval = (7.8 , 8.0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval formula =

Mean ± z × Standard deviation/√n

Mean = 7.9

Standard deviation = 0.9

n = number of samples = 164

z = z score of an 80% confidence interval = 1.282

Confidence Interval = 7.9 ± 1.282 × 0.9/√164

= 7.9 ± 0.0900966432

Confidence Interval

= 7.9 - 0.0900966432

= 7.8099033568

Approximately to 1 decimal place = 7.8

7.9 + 0.0900966432

= 7.9900966432

Approximately to 1 decimal place = 8.0

Therefore, the confidence interval = (7.8 , 8.0)

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
