Recorded here are the germination times (in days) for ten randomly chosen seeds of a new type of bean. See Attached Excel for Data. Assume that the population germination time is normally distributed. Find the 99% confidence interval for the mean germination time.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean germination time is (12.3, 19.3).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

Recorded here are the germination times (in days) for ten randomly  chosen seeds of a new type of bean: 18, 12, 20, 17, 14, 15, 13, 11, 21, 17. Assume that the population germination time is normally distributed. Find the 99% confidence interval for the mean germination time.

We start calculating the sample mean M and standard deviation s:

[tex]M=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{10}(18+12+20+17+14+15+13+11+21+17)\\\\\\M=\dfrac{158}{10}\\\\\\M=15.8\\\\\\[/tex]

[tex]s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{9}((18-15.8)^2+(12-15.8)^2+(20-15.8)^2+. . . +(17-15.8)^2)}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{101.6}{9}}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{11.3}=3.4\\\\\\[/tex]

We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=15.8.

The sample size is N=10.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{3.4}{\sqrt{10}}=\dfrac{3.4}{3.162}=1.075[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=10-1=9

The t-value for a 99% confidence interval and 9 degrees of freedom is t=3.25.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_M=3.25 \cdot 1.075=3.49[/tex]

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

[tex]LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 15.8-3.49=12.3\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 15.8+3.49=19.3[/tex]

The 99% confidence interval for the mean germination time is (12.3, 19.3).

You are standing 5 miles away from the peak. You look up at a 47-degree angle to the peak. How tall is the mountain? Hint: 5280 feet = 1 mile. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answers

Answer:

19272 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distance between the person and peak is 5 miles.

and angle is [tex]47^\circ[/tex] when we look up at the mountain peak.

The given situation is best represented as a right angled triangle as shown in the attached figure.

[tex]\triangle[/tex]IKJ where [tex]\angle K = 90^\circ[/tex]

IK is the mountain.

J is the point where we are standing.

Distance JI = 5 miles

[tex]\angle J = 47^\circ[/tex]

To find: Distance IK = ?

We can use trigonometric identities to find IK.

[tex]sin\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]sinJ = \dfrac{IK}{JI}\\\Rightarrow sin47 = \dfrac{IK}{5}\\\Rightarrow IK = sin47^\circ \times 5\\\Rightarrow IK = 0.73 \times 5\\\Rightarrow IK = 3.65\ miles \\\Rightarrow IK = 3.65 \times 5280\ ft\\\Rightarrow IK = 19272\ ft[/tex]

Hence, height of mountain = 19272 ft

The volume of all 9 spheres is 301.6 [tex]in^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that three of the identical spheres fit perfectly along the 12 in side box, therefore we know that the diameter of each is 12 in/3 = 4 in.

Then the radius of each sphere must be 2 inches (half of the diameter). Now that we know the radius of each sphere, we use the formula for the volume of a sphere to find it:

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (2\,in)^3\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi\, 8\,\,in^3\\V=\frac{32}{3} \pi\,\,in^3[/tex]

Now, the total volume of all nine spheres is the product of 9 times the volume we just found:

[tex]V_{all \,9}=9\,*\frac{32}{3} \pi\,\,in^3\\V_{all \,9}=96 \pi\,\,in^3\\V_{all \,9}\approx \,301.6\,\,in^3[/tex]

What is the area of a shape with points a 5 -8 b 11, -8 c 11,0 d 6,-3 e 4,-3

Answers

Answer:

Area of the given figure is 51.5 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle OCBH = Length × width

                                         = 11 × 8

                                         = 88 square units

Area of trapezoid OGEF = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)\times h[/tex]

                                         = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{GE+OF)}\times (\text{OG})[/tex]

                                         = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(3+6)\times 4[/tex]

                                         = 18 units²

Area of trapezoid GCDE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{GC+DE)}\times (\text{GE})[/tex]

                                         = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(7+2)\times 3[/tex]

                                         = 13.5 units²

Area of triangle AFH = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})\times (\text{Height})[/tex]

                                  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(5)(2)[/tex]

                                  = 5 units²

Area of polygon ABCDEF = Area of rectangle CBHO - (Area of trapezoid OGEF + Area of trapezoid GCDE + Area of triangle AFH)

                                           = 88 - (18 + 13.5 + 5)

                                           = 88 - 36.5

                                           = 51.5 units²

Therefore, area of the given polygon is 51.5 units²

Which foundation drawing matches this orthographic drawing ?

Answers

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

An orthographic drawing shows a three-dimensional figure from different perspectives or sides. Indeed, the orthographic drawing in the question shows how the object looks if you see this the front, side, and top of this. This implies the foundation drawing needs to match the figures of the orthographic drawing.

According to this, the correct figure is A because this is the only one that has a rectangle shape, and due to this, if you look at this from any different sides you will always see a rectangle. For example, the top view shows a rectangle of approximately 2x3 squares, and this view only fits with option A because B and C are not complete rectangles and therefore their top view is not a rectangle.

kilometer of a road? (1 kilometer = 1,000 meters).
$187.50
$1,875.00
$18,750.00
$187,500.00

Answers

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost for the materials to resurface 1 meter of the road is $750.

∵ 1 kilometer = 1000 meter

∴ 0.25 kilometer = 0.25 × 1000

                            = 250 meters

∵ Cost to resurface 1 meter of road = $750

∴ Cost to resurface 250 meter of road = 750 × 250

                                                                = 187,500

The cost of materials to resurface 0.25 kilometer of a road is $187,500.

In a packet of stickers there are small stars, big stars, small rockets, and big rockets. Kevin is going to choose one of these stickers from the packet at random to put on his artwork. What is the probability that the sticker Kevin chooses is big or is a rocket

Answers

Answer:

3/4 or 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

You have four options available

Lets say P(A) is pick a rocket

P(A) = 2/4 because there are two rockets in the four choices

simplify it to 1/2

P(B) pick a big = 2/4 because there are two bigs and two smalls.

simplify it to 1/2

P(A ∩ B) = Pick a big rocket = 1/4

P(AUB) = P(A)+P(B)- P(A ∩ B)

P(AUB) = 1/2+1/2- 1/4 = 3/4 or 0.75

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 13-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light," with an apparent weight only 50 %% of their true weight. How fast is the coaster moving?

Answers

Answer:

0.253 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

radius r of the circular rise = 13 mm = 0.013 m

apparent weight loss = 50%

acceleration of the new weight = 0.5 x 9.81 = 4.905 m/s^2

centripetal acceleration = 9.81 -  4.905 =  4.905 m/s^2

centripetal acceleration = [tex]\frac{v^{2} }{r}[/tex]

where v is the acceleration at the rise and r is the radius of the rise

centripetal force = [tex]\frac{v^{2} }{r}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{v^{2} }{0.013}[/tex]

4.905 = [tex]\frac{v^{2} }{0.013}[/tex]

[tex]v^{2}[/tex] = 0.063765

v = [tex]\sqrt{0.063765}[/tex] = 0.253 m/s

Answer:

a.x=39.2

b.Use whole  wire as a circle

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of piece of wire=70  units

Let length of wire used to make a square =x units

Length of wire used in circle=70- x

Side of square=[tex]\frac{perimeter\;of\;square}{4}=\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Circumference of circle=[tex]2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]70-x=2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{70-x}{2\pi}[/tex]

Combined area of circle and square,A=[tex](\frac{x}{4})^2+\pi(\frac{70-x}{2\pi})^2[/tex]

Using the formula

Area of circle=[tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

Area of square=[tex](side)^2[/tex]

a.[tex]A=\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{4900+x^2-140x}{4\pi}[/tex]

Differentiate w.r.t x

[tex]\frac{dA}{dx}=\frac{x}{8}+\frac{2x-140}{4\pi}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dx}=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{8}+\frac{2x-140}{4\pi}=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\pi x+4x-280}{4\pi}=0[/tex]

[tex]\pi x+4x-280=0[/tex]

[tex]x(\pi+4)=280[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{280}{\pi+4}[/tex]

x=39.2

Again differentiate w.r.t x

[tex]\frac{d^2A}{dx^2}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2\pi}[/tex]>0

Hence, the combined area of circle and the square is minimum at x=39.2

b.When the wire is not cut and whole wire used  as a circle . Then, combined area is maximum.
