Students at Elon University were surveyed and the average commute distance to campus is 0.5 mile. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.1 mile. Please construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean.
a. [0.472, 0.528]
b. [0.479, 0.521)
c. [0.463, 0.534]
d. [0.476, 0.524]

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean is [tex][0.5 - \frac{0.1645}{\sqrt{n}}, 0.5 + \frac{0.1645}{\sqrt{n}}][/tex], in which n is the number of students surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/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 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

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 = 1.645\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{0.1645}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M, while the upper end is M added to the sample mean of 0.5. Thus, the confidence interval is of:

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean is [tex][0.5 - \frac{0.1645}{\sqrt{n}}, 0.5 + \frac{0.1645}{\sqrt{n}}][/tex], in which n is the number of students surveyed.

find the surface area of the composite figure

Answers

Answer:

791.7 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the composite figure = ½(surface area of sphere) + surface area of cylinder

= ½(4πr²) + (2πr(h + r)

Where,

r = ½(12) = 6 in.

h = 9 in.

SA = ½(4*π*6²) + (2*π*6(9 + 6)

Answers

Answer:

To decide whether to add or subtract,  determine if the values of the  coefficients are the same or opposites:

. If the values are the same, subtract the  equations.

• If the values are opposites or additive  inverses, add the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]12x = 48 - 8y[/tex]

[tex]10x + 8y = 38[/tex]

Required

How to solve

Options (1) and (2) are incorrect because none of the options eliminate x or y.

For option (3),

- Check for the coefficients of x and y

- If they are the same (sign and value), then subtract; otherwise add

For instance:

[tex]12x = 48 - 8y[/tex]

[tex]10x + 8y = 38[/tex]

Rewrite the second equation

[tex]12x = 48 - 8y[/tex]

[tex]10x = 38 - 8y[/tex]

The coefficient of y are the same, so we subtract;

[tex]12x - 10x = 48 - 38 -8y -(-8y)[/tex]

[tex]12x - 10x = 48 - 38 -8y +8y[/tex]

[tex]2x = 10[/tex]

[tex]x= 5[/tex]

See that y has been eliminated

The fitness center needs $125,000 in five years for more workout machines. Find the total interest earned if payments are made at the end of each quarter with interest at 6% compounded quarterly.

Answers

Answer:

$38,562.5

Step-by-step explanation

Using the compound interest formula

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

P is the principal = $125,000

r is the rate = 6% = 0.06

time t  = 5years

n = 0.25 (quarterly payment)

Substitute

A = 125000(1+0.06/0.25)^5(0.25)

A = 125000(1+ 0.24)^1.25

A = 125000(1.24)^1.25

A = 125000(1.3085)

A = 163,562.5

Hence the interest earned = 163,562.5 - 125000

interest earned = $38,562.5

At which approximate x-value are these two equations equal
y = √1 - x^2
y = 2x - 1

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you mean y = √(1 -x²), then the curves cross at x=0.8.

__

If you equate the y-expressions, then square both sides, you have ...

  √(1-x²) = 2x-1

  1 - x² = (2x -1)² = 4x² -4x +1

  0 = 5x² -4x . . . . . subtract the left-side expression

  x(5x -4) = 0   ⇒   x = 0, or x = 4/5

The x=0 solution is extraneous.

The two equations are equal at x = 4/5.

Let X be the number of keys she tries before unlocking the door, countingthe key that actually worked.

Required:
Find the expected number of keys she will try before she opens the door.

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of keys she will try before she opens the door is 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A woman has eight keys on a key ring, one of which fits the door she wants to unlock.

Each of them is equally as likely to be the one to work, which means that this situation is represented by an uniform distribution with lower bound [tex]a = 1[/tex] and upper bound [tex]b = 8[/tex].

Find the expected number of keys she will try before she opens the door.

The expected value of the uniform distribution is given by:

[tex]E = \frac{a + b}{2}[/tex]

Considering [tex]a = 1, b = 8[/tex], as is the case in this exercise:

[tex]E = \frac{1 + 8}{2} = 4.5[/tex]

The expected number of keys she will try before she opens the door is 4.5.

The mean temperature for the first 4 days in January was 1°C.
The mean temperature for the first 5 days in January was 3°C.
What was the temperature on the 5th day?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mean is average, so if we label the first through fifth days of january a-e we can solve it.

So average of the first four is (a+b+c+d)/4 = 1 and the first five is (a+b+c+d+e)/5 = 2.  Since it's easy, let's get rid of the fraction in both.

(a+b+c+d)/4 = 1 and (a+b+c+d+e)/5 = 2

a+b+c+d = 4 and a+b+c+d+e = 10

Now, we know a+b+c+d is 4, so we can replace that in the second equation

a+b+c+d+e = 10

4 + e = 10

e = 6

ad since e is the fifth day, we know the temperature of it.  Let me know if something here didn't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

So a triangle is 180 degrees

and thats a right triangle = 90 degrees

you have three corners: 90, 50 & x

90 + 50 + x = 180

140 + x = 180

subtract 140 from both sides

x = 40

hope this helps

like this up !

Answer:

40 is the asnwer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Well, first of all we know that all right angles add up to 180 degrees. The degrees shown in the picture are 50, and 90. You can’t see the 90 exactly, but you can tell by that little square, that’s how it shows us!

2. Second step, we add up 60 and 90 which is 140. We got that, now we can subtract this 140 to the 180 to get our answer!

3. 180 – 140 is equal to 40!

4. Therefore, the 3rd angle is 40!

5. Not confident with my ansawer? Proof time!

6. 40 + 50 + 90 = 180

7. Since this all adds up to 180, it is true!

Have a great day!

To solve the system of linear equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 by using the linear combination method, Henry decided that he should first multiply the first equation by –3 and then add the two equations together to eliminate the x-terms. When he did so, he also eliminated the y-terms and got the equation 0 = 0, so he thought that the system of equations must have an infinite number of solutions. To check his answer, he graphed the equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 with his graphing calculator, but he could only see one line. Why is this? because the system of equations actually has only one solution because the system of equations actually has no solution because the graphs of the two equations overlap each other because the graph of one of the equations does not exist

Find the measure of angle QZT.

Answers

Answer:    112

========================================================

Explanation:

Minor arc QV is 80 degrees because it adds to minor arc VU = 100 to get 80+100 = 180. Note how angle QPU = 180, since it's a straight line and QU is a diameter of the circle.

Add up the minor arcs

TUUVVQ

to get:  44+100+80 = 224

This means arc TUQ is 224 degrees. Inscribed angle QZT subtends arc TUQ. Use the inscribed angle theorem to say that the inscribed angle is half of the arc it cuts off.

angle QZT = (arc TUQ)/2

angle QZT = 224/2

angle QZT = 112 degrees

Answers

Answer:

The quantities that would be used to determine the total cost for Joey to derive to work using the highway are:

A. 0.5 hours

C. $1.25 per car

D. $3.05 per gallon

F. 35 miles per gallon

H. 54 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a gallon of gas = $3.05

Distance travelled per gallon on the highway = 35 miles

Distance travelled per gallon in the city = 27 miles

Joey's average speed using the highway = 54 miles per hour

Number of hours to get to work using the highway = 0.5 hours

Toll on the highway = $1.25

Joey's average speed using the city street route = 36 miles per hour

Number of hours to get to work using the city street route = 1 hour

Relevant data for highway driving total costs:

Cost of a gallon of gas = $3.05

Distance travelled per gallon on the highway = 35 miles

Joey's average speed using the highway = 54 miles per hour

Number of hours to get to work using the highway = 0.5 hours

Toll on the highway = $1.25

Total costs for using the highway = $1.25 + ($3.05/35 * 54 * 0.5) = $3.60
