An economist is interested in studying the spending habits of consumers in a particular region. The population standard deviation is known to be $1,000. A random sample of 50 individuals resulted in an average expense of $15,000. What is the width of the 99% confidence interval for the mean of expense? a. 364.28 b. 728.55 c. 329.00 d. 657.99

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The  width is  [tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \% 1,000[/tex]

    The  sample size is  [tex]n = 50[/tex]

    The sample mean  is  [tex]\= x = \$ 15,000[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  99% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as  

               [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

=>            [tex]\alpha = 1\%[/tex]

=>             [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is

             [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.01 }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

Generally margin of error is mathematically represented as

             [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]

              [tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]

               [tex]E = 364.9[/tex]

The width of the 99% confidence interval is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]w = 2 * E[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]w = 2 * 364.9[/tex]

          [tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]

Which relation is a function?

Answers

The number two is a function

First rule of function: for each element of A there is one and only one element of B

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−2, 6) and (2, 14) in slope-intercept form. (2 points)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 4x + 14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation we must first find the slope of the line

Slope of the line using points (−2, 6) and (2, 14) is

[tex]m = \frac{14 - 6}{2 + 2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4[/tex]

Now we use the slope and any of the points to find the equation of the line.

Equation of the line using point ( - 2, 6) and slope 4 is

[tex]y - 6 = 4(x + 2) \\ y - 6 = 4x + 8 \\ y = 4x + 8 + 6[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]y = 4x + 14[/tex]

cherry pies ratio is 240 to 3 pies.how many Cherry's to make 9 pies​

Answers

Answer:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 240 cherries to make 3 pies.

9 pies are 3 times 3 pies, so it takes 3 times as many cherries.

3 * 240 cherries = 720 cherries.

[tex]\text{Find how many cherries is needed for 9 pies}\\\\\text{We know that there are 240 total cherries on 3 pies}\\\\\text{Now we need to find how many cherries will 9 pies need}\\\\\text{We simply have to multiply 240 by 3, since 3 multiplied by 3 is 9 pies}\\\text{So we would do the same with the cherries by multiplying it by 3}\\\\240\cdot3=720\\\\\boxed{\text{720 cherries}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

The number of weekly social media posts varies directly with the square root of the poster’s age and inversely with the cube root of the poster’s income.

If a 16-year-old person who earns $8,000 makes 64 posts in a week, what is the value of k?

[tex]64=\dfrac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt[3]{8000}}\cdot k=\dfrac{4}{20}\cdot k=\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot k=0.2\cdot k\\\\k=64*5=320[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

k=320.

If a=age, m=income, and n=number of weekly posts:
The relationship can be modeled by
n=k * sqrt(a) / cbrt(m). sqrt(a) is in the numerator because it is directly proportional to n and cbrt(m) is in the denominator because it is inversely proportional to n.
Plugging in the given values, n=64, a=16, m=8000, 64=k* sqrt(16) / cbrt(8000). sqrt(16)=4, and cbrt(8000)=20, so 64=4k/20=k/5. So k=64*5= 320.

Answer:

1/2k - 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well the only fraction needed to combine are,

2/5 and 1/10.

To add them we need to make 2/5 have a denominator of 10.

To do that we multiply 5 by 2.

5*2 = 10

What happens to the denominator happens to the denominator.

2*2 = 4

Fraction - 4/10

4/10 + 1/10 = 5/10

5/10

Given v(x) = g(x) (3/2*x^4 + 4x – 1), find v'(2).​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that v(x) = g(x)×(3/2*x^4+4x-1)

Let's find V'(2)

V(x) is a product of two functions

● V'(x) = g'(x)×(3/2*x^4+4x-1)+ g(x) ×(3/2*x^4+4x-1)

We are interested in V'(2) so we will replace x by 2 in the expression above.

g'(2) can be deduced from the graph.

● g'(2) is equal to the slope of the tangent line in 2.

● let m be that slope .

● g'(2) = m =>g'(2) = rise /run

● g'(2) = 2/1 =2

We've run 1 square to the right and rised 2 squares up to reach g(2)

g(2) is -1 as shown in the graph.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let's derivate the second function.

Let h(x) be that function

● h(x) = 3/2*x^4 +4x-1

● h'(x) = 3/2*4*x^3 + 4

● h'(x) = 6x^3 +4

Let's calculate h'(2)

● h'(2) = 6 × 2^3 + 4

● h'(2) = 52

Let's calculate h(2)

●h(2) = 3/2*2^4 + 4×2 -1

●h(2)= 31

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Replace now everything with its value to find V'(2)

● V'(2) = g'(2)×h(2) + g(2)× h'(2)

● V'(2)= 2×31 + (-1)×52

●V'(2) = 61 -52

●V'(2)= 9

A special mixed-nut blend at a store cost $1.35 per lb, and in 2010 the blend cost $1.83 per lb. Let y represent the cost of a pound of the mixed-nut blend x years after 2005. Use a linear equation model to estimate the cost of a pound of the mixed-nut blend in 2007.

Answers

Answer:

y = $1.542 per lb

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

mixed-nut blend store cost  2005 = $1.35 per lb

blend cost in 2010 = $1.83 per lb

solution

we consider here y = cost of a pound

and x year = after 2005

we will use here linear equation model

so

[tex]\frac{y - 1.35}{1.83-1.35} = \frac{x-10}{5 - 0}[/tex]    .........................1

solve it we get

5y - 6.75 = .48 x

so

at 2007 year here x wil be 2

so

[tex]y = \frac{0.48 \times 2 + 6.75}{5}[/tex]  

solve it we get

y = $1.542 per lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, the length of the hypotenuse is:  12√2 cm.

The Pythagorean TheoremWhere, a and b are two legs of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse, the Pythagorean Theorem states that, c² = a² + b².

Given the two legs of the right triangle to be 12 cm

Therefore:

c² = 12² + 12².

c² = 288

c = √288

c = 12√2 cm

Lydia drives from city a to city b to transport goods. her return speed is 3 times her departure speed and she takes 40 minutes less on her return trip. how long did her departure trip take?

Answers

Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's say that her departure trip takes t in minutes, as her return speed is 3 times her departure speed, she took t/3 for the return and we know that this 40 minutes less, so we can write.

t/3=t-40

We can multiply by 3

t = 3t -40*3 = 3t - 120

This is equivalent to

3t -120 = t

We subtract t

2t-120 = 0

2t = 120

We divide by 2

t = 120/2 = 60

So this is 60 minutes = 1 hour.
