in a random sample of 28 people, the mean commute time to work was 31.2 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.3 minutes. assume the population is normally distributed and use a t-distribution to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean u. What is the margin of error of u

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The margin of error of u is of 3.8.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean u is between 27.4 minutes and 35 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 28 - 1 = 27

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 27 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.7707

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.7707\frac{7.3}{\sqrt{28}} = 3.8[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The margin of error of u is of 3.8.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 31.2 - 3.8 = 27.4 minutes

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 31.2 + 3.8 = 35 minutes

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean u is between 27.4 minutes and 35 minutes.

In a political science class, the teacher gives a midterm exam and a final. The association between midterm and final scores is linear. The summary statistics are shown below. Midterm Mean=75, Midterm Standard Deviation=10 Final Mean=75, Final Standard Deviation=10 r=0.8 According to the regression equation, for a student who gets 85 on the midterm (one standard deviation above average) what is the predicted final exam grade?

Answers

Answer:

The predicted final exam grade is 83

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\bar x = 75[/tex] -- midterm mean

[tex]\sigma_x = 10[/tex] --- midterm standard deviation

[tex]\mu =75[/tex] --- final mean

[tex]\sigma = 10[/tex] --- final standard deviation

[tex]r = 0.8[/tex]

Required

The predicted final grade of student who score 85 in midterm

The prediction is represented as:

[tex]y = \alpha + \beta x[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\beta = r * \frac{\sigma}{\sigma_x}[/tex]

[tex]\beta = 0.8 * \frac{10}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\beta = 0.8 * 1[/tex]

[tex]\beta = 0.8[/tex]

and

[tex]\alpha = \mu - r * \bar x[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 75- 0.8 * 75[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 75- 60[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 15[/tex]

So:

[tex]y = \alpha + \beta x[/tex]

[tex]y = 15 + 0.8x[/tex]

For a student who gets 85, the prediction is:

[tex]y = 15 + 0.8*85[/tex]

[tex]y = 15 + 68[/tex]

[tex]y = 83[/tex]

given sin x =-4/5 and x is in quadrent 3, what is the value of tan x/2

Answers

Answer:

We can write sin x in terms of tan x/2 using the formula:

⇒ sin x = (2 tan (x/2)) / (1 + tan2(x/2))

Therefore, using the above formula, we can find the values of tan x/2 by putting the value of sin x.

⇒ -4/5 = (2 tan (x/2)) / (1 + tan2(x/2))

Now, if we replace tan (x/2) by y, we get a quadratic equation:

⇒ 0.8y2 + 2y + 0.8 = 0

⇒ 2y2 + 5y + 2 = 0

By using the quadratic formula, we get y = -0.5, -2

Hence, the value of tan (x/2) = -0.5, -2

Now, we have two solutions of tan (x/2).

Now, let's check for the ideal solution using the formula tan x = (2 tan (x/2)) / (1 - tan2(x/2)).

For tan (x/2) = -0.5:

⇒ tan x = 2(-0.5) / 1 - (-0.5)2 = -4/3

It is also given that x lies in the third quadrant. We know that tan is positive in the third quadrant, and here we get tan x = -4/3 which is negative.

Hence, we can say that tan (x/2) = -0.5 is not a correct solution. Hence it is rejected.

Now let's check for tan (x/2) = -2.

⇒ tan x = 2(-2) / 1 - (-2)2 = 4/3

Here, we get tan x = 4/3 which is positive.

Hence, we can say that tan (x/2) = -2 is a correct solution.

To simplify the radical, start by factoring 9 out of 18 for step 1. Next, for step 2, rewrite 9 as [tex]3^{2}[/tex]. Then, factor out [tex]a^{8}[/tex] for step 3. For step 4, rewrite [tex]a^{8}[/tex] as [tex](a^{4})^{2}[/tex]. Then, for step 5, move the 2 in the radical. Rewrite [tex]3^{2}(a^{4})^{2}[/tex]as [tex](3a^{4})^{2}[/tex] for step 6. Then, add parentheses to the radical for step 7. Finally, for step 8 pull the terms out from under the radical, and the answer is [tex]3a^{4}\sqrt{2a}[/tex].

Suppose that for a certain company ​C(x)=35x+300,000 represents the total cost​ function, and ​R(x)=75x represents the total revenue function. Find the​ total-profit function and​ break-even point.
Which of the following functions represents the​ total-profit function?
A) 40x-300,000
B) 40x+300,000
C) 110x+300,000

Answers

Answer:

40x - 300,000

7,500

Step-by-step explanation:

profit  = revenue - cost

p(x) = 75x - (35x + 300,000)

p(x) = 40x - 300,000

Break even is when profit is zero

40x - 300,000 = 0

40x = 300,000

x = 7,500

The functions that represents the​ total-profit function would be p(x) = 40x - 300,000. so the correct option is A.

What is a function?

Function is a type of relation, or rule, that maps one input to specific single output.

Given that for a certain company ​C(x) =35x+300,000 represents; the total cost​ function, and ​R(x)=75x represents the total revenue function.

WE can calculate the profit by the following formula;

Profit  = revenue - cost

p(x) = 75x - (35x + 300,000)

p(x) = 40x - 300,000

Now Break even is when profit is zero,

40x - 300,000 = 0

40x = 300,000

x = 7,500

Hence, the break-even point is 7500.

Therefore,  the functions that represents the​ total-profit function would be p(x) = 40x - 300,000. so the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The equilibrium point

To do this, we have:

[tex]D(p) = S(p)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]2500+5p = 3500-20p[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]20p+5p = 3500-2500[/tex]

[tex]25p = 1000[/tex]

Divide both sides by 25

[tex]p = 40[/tex]

Substitute [tex]p = 40[/tex] in [tex]D(p)=3500-20p[/tex]

[tex]D(40) = 3500 - 20 * 40[/tex]

[tex]D(40) = 2700[/tex]

Hence, the coordinates of the equilibrium is: (40,2700)

Step-by-step explanation:

V=pi×r²×h/3=pi×5²×12/3=100×pi=314.2cm³

Answer: D) 314.2 [tex]cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the volume of a right cone is [tex]V=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

r is the radius and h is the height/altitude.

We can sub these values in and solve

[tex]V=\pi (5^2)(\frac{12}{3} )\\V=\pi (25)(4)\\V=100\pi[/tex]

Let's sub in 3.14 for [tex]\pi[/tex] since that is a close estimate

[tex]V=(100)(3.14)\\V=314[/tex]

The volume is about 314.

Our closest answer to that is D so that is the correct choice.

Let XX be a random variable that is equal to the number of heads in two flips of a fair coin. What is \text E[X^2]E[X 2 ]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, it is likely that the random variable(X) have the values below:

Let head be H

Let tail be T

So;

X(HH) = 2;

X(HT) = 1;

X(TH) = 1;

X(TT) = 0

The distribution can now be computed as:

[tex]p(X= TT) = \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]p(X=TH) = \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]p(X=HT) = \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]p(X=HH)= \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Now, the expected value that is equivalent to the number of heads when the coin is flipped twice is:

[tex]E(X) = p(TT)*X(TT)+p(TH)*X(TH)+p(HT)*X(HT)+p(HH)*X(HH)[/tex]

[tex]E(X) = \dfrac{1}{4}\times 0 + \dfrac{1}{4}\times 1 + \dfrac{1}{4}\times 1 + \dfrac{1}{4}\times 2[/tex]

[tex]E(X) = 0 + \dfrac{1}{4}+ \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]E(X) =\dfrac{1+1+2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]E(X) =\dfrac{4}{4}[/tex]

E(X) = 1

[tex]E(X^2) = p(TT)*X(TT)^2+p(TH)*X(TH)^2+p(HT)*X(HT)^2+p(HH)*X(HH)^2[/tex]

[tex]E(X^2) = \dfrac{1}{4}\times 0^2+ \dfrac{1}{4}\times 1^2 + \dfrac{1}{4}\times 1^2 + \dfrac{1}{4}\times 2^2[/tex]

[tex]E(X^2) = 0 + \dfrac{1}{4}+ \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{4}{4}[/tex]

[tex]E(X^2) =\dfrac{1+1+4}{4}[/tex]

The symbols for elements with accepted names Group of answer choices consist of a single capital letter consist of a capital letter and a small letter consist of either a single capital letter or a capital letter and a small letter no answer is correct

Answers

Answer:

consist of either a single capital letter or a capital letter and a small letter.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound.

In Chemistry, a chemical element can be defined as any pure substance that is typically made up of only atoms and cannot be broken down into simpler substances through chemical processes. Thus, the atomic number (the number of protons in the nuclei of an atom) of a particular chemical element distinguishes from other chemical elements.

Generally, all chemical elements are denoted or represented by a symbol, which may either be single capital letter or a capital letter and a small letter.

This ultimately implies that, the symbols for elements with accepted names consist of either a single capital letter or a capital letter and a small letter. For example, the symbol for sodium is Na, copper is Cu, carbon is C, oxygen is O, iron is Fe, nitrogen is N, magnesium is Mg, potassium is K, argon is Ag, hydrogen is H, helium is He, phosphorus is P, etc.
