A group of 49 randomly selected students has a mean age of 22.4 years with a standarddeviation of 3.8. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population mean knowing thatthe population standard deviation is 4.2 years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 21 and 23.8 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.01 = 0.99[/tex], so Z = 2.327.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.327\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{49}} = 1.4[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 22.4 - 1.4 = 21 years.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 22.4 + 1.4 = 23.8 years.

The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 21 and 23.8 years.

Answers

Answer:

70 shovels of gravel, and 21 shovels of cement.

Step-by-step explanation:

35/5 = 7.

10 x 7 = 70, which is the number of shovels for gravel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root function's graph is graph (b). This makes logical sense, because, when taking the square root (the principal root in particular), a general rule is that both the input and the output must be positive. Moreover, if one were to create a table of values to find points on the graph of the function, each of the points can be found on graph (b).

garden is 16 metres and each lane is 3 metres
wide. Each lane is to be resurfaced. Calculate
the area to be resurfaced. Answer in square
metres to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area to be resurfaced is the area of the

whole circle including garden and lanes minus  

the area of the garden.

 

Area of a circle is (pi)r2

 

radius of garden is (1/2)diameter = 8 m

Garden area:  (pi)82 = 64(pi) m2

 

Diameter of garden plus traffic lanes is

16 + 2(6) because we add 6 m to both sides

of the diameter of the garden.

Full diameter = 16+12 = 28 m

Full radius = 28/2 = 14 m

Full area:  (pi)142 = 196(pi) m2

 

Area to be resurfaced:

196(pi) - 64(pi) = 132(pi) m2  ≅ 415 m2

The credit department of Lion's Department Store in Anaheim, California, reported that 30% of their sales are cash, 30% are paid with a credit card, and 40% with a debit card. Twenty percent of the cash purchases, 90% of the credit card purchases, and 60% of the debit card purchases are for more than $50. Ms. Tina Stevens just purchased a new dress that cost $120. What is the probability that she paid cash?

Answers

Answer:

Hence the probability that she paid cash is  0.105

Step-by-step explanation:  

P(cash) = 0.3  

P(credit card ) = 0.3  

P(debit card ) = 0.4  

P ( more than $50 | cash ) = 0.2  

P (more than $50 | credit card ) =0.9  

P (more than $ 50 |debit card ) = 0.6  

P ( more than $50) = P ( more than $50 | cash )* P (cash) + P (more than $50 credit card ) * P(credit card ) + P (more than $ 50 |debit card )* P(debit card )  

= 0.2 * 0.3 + 0.9 * 0.3 + 0.6* 0.4  

= 0.57  

P ( more than $50) = P ( more than $50 | cash )* P (cash) / P ( more than $50)  

= 0.2* 0.3 / 0.57  

= 0.105

he radioactive element​ carbon-14 has a​ half-life of 5750 years. A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 77.8 ​% of their​ carbon-14. How old were the bones at the time they were​ discovered?

Answers

Answer:

The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were​ discovered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the element:

The amount of the element after t years is given by the following equation, considering the decay rate proportional to the amount present:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.

The radioactive element​ carbon-14 has a​ half-life of 5750 years.

This means that [tex]A(5750) = 0.5A(0)[/tex], and we use this to find k. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)e^{-5750k}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-5750k} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-5750k}} = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]-5750k = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{5750}[/tex]

[tex]k = 0.00012054733[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.00012054733t}[/tex]

A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 77.8 ​% of their​ carbon-14. How old were the bones at the time they were​ discovered?

Had 100 - 77.8 = 22.2% remaining, so this is t for which:

[tex]A(t) = 0.222A(0)[/tex]

Then

[tex]0.222A(0) = A(0)e^{-0.00012054733t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.00012054733t} = 0.222[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-0.00012054733t}} = \ln{0.222}[/tex]

[tex]-0.00012054733t = \ln{0.222}[/tex]

[tex]t = -\frac{\ln{0.222}}{0.00012054733}[/tex]

[tex]t = 12485[/tex]

The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were​ discovered.

An office manager booked 55 airline tickets. He booked 6 more tickets on Airline A than Airline B. On Airline C, he booked 5 more than twice as many tickets as on Airline B. How many tickets did he book on each Airline?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A: 17B: 11C: 27

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let a, b, c represent tickets booked on airlines A, B, C, respectively, then we have ...

  a + b + c = 55

  a - b = 6

  -2b + c = 5

Using the last two equations to write expressions for a and c, we have ...

  a = b +6

  c = 5 +2b

These can be substituted into the first equation to give ...

  (b +6) +b +(5 +2b) = 55

  4b +11 = 55

  4b = 44

  b = 11

  a = b+6 = 17

  c = 5 +2b = 27

He booked 17 tickets on Airline A, 11 tickets on Airline B, and 27 tickets on Airline C.

Answer:

Using the relation :

n = (Z² * p * (1 - p)) / M.E²

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

n = (1.645² * 0.58 * 0.42) / 0.03²

n = 0.65918769 / 0.0009

n = 732.43076

n = 732 samples

B.)

If no prior estimate is given, then p = 0.5 ; 1 - p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

n = (Z² * p * (1 - p)) / M.E²

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

n = (1.645² * 0.5 * 0.5) / 0.03²

There is not enough information to determine the mean, the median is 28.

There is not enough information to determine the mean absolute deviation, the interquartile range is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The box plot given has a skewed distribution, this means that both the mean and median values are not the same. From a box plot, the median value Can be obtained as the point in between the box.

From the box plot given, the marked point in between the box is 28 cm

Hence, Median = 28 cm

The mean cannot be inferred from the skewed box plot.

There is also not enough information to determine the mean absolute deviation ;

The interquartile range:

(Q3 - Q1)

Q3 = upper quartile, the endpoint of the box = 40

Q1 = the starting point of the box = 22

IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 40 - 22 = 18
