Joe's Auto Insurance Company customers sometimes have to wait a long time to speak to a
customer service representative when they call regarding disputed claims. A random sample
of 25 such calls yielded a mean waiting time of 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 6
minutes. Construct a 95% and 99% confidence interval for the population mean of such
waiting times. Explain what these interval means.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean of such waiting times is between 19.5 and 24.5 minutes. This means that we are 95% sure that the true mean waiting time of all calls for this company is between 19.5 and 24.5 minutes.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean of such waiting times is between 18.6 and 25.4 minutes. This means that we are 99% sure that the true mean waiting time of all calls for this company is between 18.6 and 25.4 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 = 25 - 1 = 24

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 24 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.0639

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0639\frac{6}{\sqrt{25}} = 2.5[/tex]

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 22 - 2.5 = 19.5 minutes

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 22 + 2.5 = 24.5 minutes

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean of such waiting times is between 19.5 and 24.5 minutes. This means that we are 95% sure that the true mean waiting time of all calls for this company is between 19.5 and 24.5 minutes.

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 24 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.797

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.797\frac{6}{\sqrt{25}} = 3.4[/tex]

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 22 - 3.4 = 18.6 minutes

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 22 + 3.4 = 25.4 minutes

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean of such waiting times is between 18.6 and 25.4 minutes. This means that we are 99% sure that the true mean waiting time of all calls for this company is between 18.6 and 25.4 minutes.

A ice cream shop sells 8 different flavors of ice cream with A choice of three different styles of calls how many different ice cream cones are possible if you select one ice cream flavor with one type of ice cream cone

Answers

Answer:   24

Explanation:

There are 8 different flavors and 3 types of cones. This means there are 8*3 = 24 different combos possible.

Imagine a table with 8 rows and 3 columns. Each row is a different flavor and each column is a different cone type. The table formed has 24 inner cells to represent a different combination of flavor + cone type. So that's why we multiplied those values earlier.

Note: This only works if you're only able to select one type of flavor.

SCC U of 1 pt 3 of 1 1.2.11 Assigned Media A rectangle has a width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters. V The length is cm.

Answers

Answer:

The length is of 59 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle:

The perimeter of a rectangle with width w and length l is given by:

[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]

Width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters:

This means that [tex]w = 49, P = 216[/tex]

The length is cm.

We have to solve the equation for l. So

[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]

[tex]216 = 2(49 + l)[/tex]

[tex]216 = 98 + 2l[/tex]

[tex]2l = 118[/tex]

[tex]l = \frac{118}{2}[/tex]

[tex]l = 59[/tex]

The length is of 59 cm.

Answer:

57 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the yellow prism = front + back + right + left + top

✔️Area of the front = L * W

L = 4 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the front = 4*3 = 12 cm²

✔️Area of the back = L * W

L = 4 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the back = 4*3 = 12 cm²

✔️Area of the right face = L * W

L = 4 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the right face = 4*3 = 12 cm²

✔️Area of the left face = L * W

L = 4 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the left face = 4*3 = 12 cm²

✔️Area of the top = L * W

L = 3 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the top = 3*3 = 9 cm²

✅Total = 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 9 = 57 cm²

for the account to grow to $16800? Round to 2 decimal places,

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 13.33 year

Step-by-step explanation:

P = $12000

Rate = 3%

Amount = $16800

so,

I = A-P

= $16800 - $12000

= $4800

So,

T = (I × 100)/P×R

= (4800×100)/P×R

= 480000/($12000×3)

= 480000/36000

= 480/36

= 13.33 year

How many students said red is their favourite colour?

Answers

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] of the students in Year 9.

Basically, first you need to work out 1/12 of the students, which is just 240 divided by 12, equals 20.

So, we know 1/12 of 240 is 20, therefore, in order to work out 5/12, we must do 20 x 5, which is 100.

3. The scale factor is 3, which means the length of the image of segment KL will be 3 times as long.

4. The scale factor is 1/3, which means the length of the image of segment KL will be 3 times as long.

Answers

Answer:

3. The scale factor is 3, which means the length of the image of segment KL will be 3 times as long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, translation, reflection and dilation.

Dilation is the increase or decrease in the size of a figure. If a point A(x, y) is dilated about the center of dilation located at O(a, b), the new point is at A'[k(x - a) + a, k(y - b) + b].

Quadrilateral KLMN has vertices at K(2, 1), L(-1, -5), M(6, -5) and N(6, 1). If it is dilated by 3, about the center M(6, -5), the new points are:

K' = (3(2 - 6) + 6, 3(1 - (-5)) + (-5)) = (-6, 13)

L' = (3(-1 - 6) + 6, 3(-5 - (-5)) + (-5)) = (-15, -5)

M' = (3(6 - 6) + 6, 3(-5 - (-5)) + (-5)) = (6, -5)

N' = (3(6 - 6) + 6, 3(1 - (-5)) + (-5)) = (6, 13)

Therefore the image of segment KL will be 3 times long.

Revenue earned by the company in Year 2 was $3,200, expenses paid during the period were $1,700, and dividends paid during the period were $1,100. Based on this information alone, what was the amount of retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2?

Answers

Answer:

$2550

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2

Using this formula

Beginning Retained Earnings + Revenue − Expenses − Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings

Let plug in the formula

Beginning Retained Earnings + $3,200 − $1,700 − $1,100 = $2950

Beginning Retained Earnings= $2,950-$400

Beginning Retained Earnings = $2,550

Therefore the amount of retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 is $2550

Identify the mean:
How would you describe the shape of the distribution:

Answers

Answer:

(a) Residents

(b) [tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

(c)  [tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

(d) Right skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The data of residents without health insurance

Solving (a): The variable

The variable is the residents

Solving (b): The median

First, we sort the data

[tex]Sorted: 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.13, 0.13, 0.14, 0.16, 0.19, 0.25[/tex]

So, the median position is:

[tex]Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = 5th[/tex]

The 5th element of the dataset is: 0.13

So:

[tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

Solving (c): The mean

This is calculated as:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{0.09+ 0.10+ 0.11+ 0.13+ 0.13+ 0.14+ 0.16+ 0.19+ 0.25}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{1.3}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

Solving (d): The shape of the distribution

In (b) and (c), we have:

[tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

By comparison, the mean is greater than the median.

Hence, the shape is: right skewed.
