A study of the career paths of hotel general managers sent questionnaires to an SRS of 250 hotels belonging to major U.S. hotel chains. There were 149 responses. The average time these 149 general managers had spent with their current company was 13.26 years. (Take it as known that the standard deviation of time with the company for all general managers is 4 years.) (a) Find the margin of error for an 85% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company: years (b) Find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company: years (c) In general, increasing the confidence level the margin of error (width) of the confidence interval. (Enter: ''DECREASES'', ''DOES NOT CHANGE'' or ''INCREASES'', without the quotes.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The margin of error is 0.3643 years.

b) The margin of error is 0.6514 years.

c) INCREASES

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Find the margin of error for an 85% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company:

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 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.075 = 0.925[/tex], so Z = 1.44.

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 = 1.44\frac{4}{\sqrt{250}} = 0.3643[/tex]

The margin of error is 0.3643 years.

(b) Find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{4}{\sqrt{250}} = 0.6514[/tex]

The margin of error is 0.6514 years.

(c) In general, increasing the confidence level the margin of error (width) of the confidence interval.

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

Increase of confidence level -> Increases z -> Increases margin of error.

So Increases is the answer.

Arc QT = and

Answers

Answer:

m(arc QT) = 142°

m(arc STR) = 314°

Step-by-step explanation:

"Measure of intercepted arc is double of the inscribed angle"

From the picture attached,

Measure of inscribed angle QST = 71°

Therefore, measure of arc QT = 2 × Measure of angle QST

                                                  = 2(71°)

                                                  = 142°

Since, m(arc SR) + m(arc STR) = 360°

46° + m(arc STR) = 360°

m(arc STR) = 360° - 46°

                  = 314°

Find the first 3 terms of arithmetic sequence if t5=-154 and t9=-274. find t1, t2, t3

Answers

Answer: t1 = -34; t2 = -64; t3 = -94

d is the distance between numbers (d > 0)

we have:

t5 = t1 + 4d = -154

t9 = t1 + 8d = -274

we have the equations:

t1 + 4d = -154

t1 + 8d = -274

<=> t1 = -34

      d = -30

with t1 = -34 and = -30 => t2 = -34 - 30 = -64

                                          t3 = -64 - 30 = -94

The answer for number 1 is 1.72. The answer for number 2 is 4.83.

So for number one, the first thing you need to do is determine how many sides are on the first shape. Since it is a pentagon, and one pentagon has 5 sides, then you use the following formula to determine the volume of a[tex]V = \frac {1}{4} \times \sqrt{5 \times (5 +2 \times \sqrt {5})} \times (10)^{2} \times 10[/tex] pentagon: [tex]\alpha = \frac{1}{4} \times \sqrt[]{5(5+2 \sqrt[]{5}) \alpha ^{2} }[/tex] And in this case, the area would be 1.72, because if you insert the side lengths, the equation would look like this: [tex]V = \frac {1}{4} \times \sqrt{5 \times (5 +2 \times \sqrt {5})} \times (10)^{2} \times 10[/tex] , which if you solve this equation, then you will end up with the answer of 1.72.

For number two, the first thing you need to do is determine how many sides are on the second shape. Since it is an octagon, and the prefix oct means 8, the number of sides on the shape is 8. If the perimeter is 64, and there are 8 sides, you can divide 64 by 8 to get 8. The equation to solve for the area should look like this: [tex]V = 2(1 + \sqrt{2}) \times s^{2} \times h[/tex]. Now all you need to do is insert the side lengths to the proper places. It should then look like this: [tex]V = 2(1 + \sqrt{2}) \times 8^{2} \times 8[/tex], after you solve the equation, you should end up with 4.83.
