Suppose taxi fares from Logan Airport to downtown Boston is known to be normally distributed and a sample of seven taxi fares produces a mean fare of $21.51 and a 95% confidence interval of [$20.52, $22.48]. Which of the following statements is a valid interpretation of the confidence interval?
a. we are 95% confident that a randomly selected taxi fare will be between $2051 and $2421.
b. 95% of all taxi fares are between $2051 and $2421.
c. We are 95% confident that the average tau fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $2051 and $2421.
d. The mean amount of a taxi fare is $22.31, 95% of the time.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

95% confidence interval of [$20.52, $22.48].

We can be 95% sure that the true mean amount of taxis fares in downtown Boston is in this interval, and thus, the correct answer is given by option C.

Which graph represents a line with a slope of -2/3 and a y-intercept equal to that of the line y=2/3x - 2

Answers

Answer: The image shown in your question as well as the one I provided is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

a line with a slope of 2/3 must mean that the "m" is 2/3

y = mx + b

y = 2/3x + b

The question calls for the y-intercept to be equal to that of y=2/3x - 2

using the given equation, we easily figure out -2 is the y-intercept

so the line must go through (0,-2).

To make a committee 4 men are chosen out of 6 candidates. What is the probability that 2 certain people will serve on that committee

Answers

Answer:

The probability that 2 certain people will serve on that committee is 11.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to make a committee 4 men are chosen out of 6 candidates, to determine what is the probability that 2 certain people will serve on that committee the following calculation must be performed:

4/6 = 2/3

1/3 x 1/3 = X

0.333 x 0.333 = X

0.1111 = X

Therefore, the probability that 2 certain people will serve on that committee is 11.11%.

A random sample of medical files is used to estimate the proportion p of all people who have blood type B. (a) If you have no pre-liminary estimate for p, how many medical files should you include in a random sample in order to be 90% sure that the point estimate will be within a distance of 0.03 from p?(b) Answer part (a) if you use the pre-liminary estimate that about 13 out of 90 people have blood type B.

Answers

Answer:

a) 752 medical files should be included.

b) 372 medical files should be included.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

Question a:

This is n for which M = 0.03. We have no estimate, so we use [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex]. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.5}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*0.5}{0.03})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 751.67[/tex]

Rounding up:

752 medical files should be included.

Question b:

Now we have that:

[tex]\pi = \frac{13}{90} = 0.1444[/tex]

So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.1444*0.8556}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.1444*0.8556}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.1444*0.8556}}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.1444*0.8556}}{0.03})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 371.5[/tex]

Rounding up:

372 medical files should be included.

Three points are collinear if:

A line contains the points R(-1, 8), S(1, 4) and T(6, y). It means, these points are collinear.

[tex]-1(4-y)+1(y-8)+6(8-4)=0[/tex]

[tex]-4+y+y-8+48-24=0[/tex]

[tex]2y+12=0[/tex]

Subtract 12 from both sides.

[tex]2y=-12[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]y=\dfrac{-12}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=-6[/tex]

Therefore, the value of y is -6.

3x² + x + 1

-3x² + x + 1

-54

Step-by-step explanation:

there is nothing complicated to it. you just use the requested pertain on the whole expressions of the functions, and the result is then the new function.

so,

r(x) = 3x²

s(x) = x + 1

what do you think s + r is ?

it is simply

(s+r)(x) = 3x² + x + 1

done. that is really all there is to this.

now the next (but consider the sequence due to the sign)

(s-r)(x) = x + 1 - 3x² = -3x² + x + 1

and the third

(s×r)(x) = 3x²(x+1) = 3x³ + 3x²

so, for x=-3

(s×r)(-3) = 3×(-3)³ + 3×(-3)²

remember, an even power of a negative number gives a positive result, an uneven power of a negative number gives a negative result.

(s×r)(x) = 3×-27 + 3×9 = -81 + 27 = -54

The length of a rectangle is 19 centimeters less than its width. Its area is 20 square centimeters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. Use the​ formula, area =length*width.

Answers

Answer:

width =20

length = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

length = w - 19

A = l*w

20 = (w-19) * w

20 = w^2 - 19w

Subtract 20 from each side

0 = w^2 - 19w - 20

Factor

0 = (w+1)(w-20)

Using the zero product property

w+1 = 0 w-20 = 0

w = -1   w=20

Widths cannot be negative

w=20

l = 20-19 = 1

Answers

Answer:

11.45 lumens

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

[tex]log(I/12)=-0.00235x[/tex]

Where x=Depth

I=Intensity of light

We have to find the intensity of the light at a depth of 20 feet.

Substitute the value of x

[tex]log(I/12)=-0.00235\times 20[/tex]

[tex]log(I/12)=-0.047[/tex]

[tex]\frac{I}{12}=e^{-0.047}[/tex]

[tex]I=12e^{-0.047}[/tex]

[tex]I=11.45 Lumens[/tex]

Hence, the intensity of the light (in lumens) at a depth of 20 feet=11.45 lumens

Weights measured in grams of randomly selected M&M plain candies:

What is the range of weights of the middle 99.7% of M&M’s?

(round to the ten thousandths place)

Answers

Answer:

The range of weights of the middle 99.7% of M&M’s is between 0.8187 and 1.0203.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Sample mean:

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{0.957 + 0.912 + 0.925 + 0.886 + 0.920 + 0.958 + 0.915 + 0.914 + 0.947 + 0.939 + 0.842}{11} =  0.9195[/tex]

Sample standard deviation:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(0.957-0.9195)^2 + (0.912-0.9195)^2 + (0.925-0.9195)^2 + (0.886-0.9195)^2 + ...}{10}} = 0.0336[/tex]

What is the range of weights of the middle 99.7% of M&M’s?

By the Empirical Rule, within 3 standard deviations of the mean, so:

0.9195 - 3*0.0336 = 0.8187.

0.9195 + 3*0.0336 = 1.0203.

The range of weights of the middle 99.7% of M&M’s is between 0.8187 and 1.0203.
