Suppose that a committee is studying whether there is waste of time in our judicial system. It is interested in the mean amount of time individuals waste at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty. The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors. The sample mean wait time was eight hours with a sample standard deviation of four hours. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted. Which distribution should you use for this problem

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The t-distribution is used, as we have the standard deviation of the sample.

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted is between 7.12 hours and 8.88 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which meas that the t-distribution should be 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 = 81 - 1 = 80

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 80 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.99

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.99\frac{4}{\sqrt{81}} = 0.88[/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 8 - 0.88 = 7.12 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 8 + 0.88 = 8.88 hours.

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted is between 7.12 hours and 8.88 hours.

.20

Step-by-step explanation:

According to what are written in the table the probability for x=-10 is .20

The probability distribution  at x= -10 is 0.20.

What is Probability distribution?

A mathematical function called a probability distribution explains the likelihood of many alternative values for a variable. Graphs or probability tables are frequently used to represent probability distributions.

Given:

We have table as,

x                  -10    -5      0      5      10    15     20

Probability 0.20 0.15 0.05 0.10 0.25 0.10 0.15

So , we have to find probability that x = -10 then by looking at table the corresponding value to x= -10 the probability is 0.20.

B) The vertical intercept is the point
C) Find the coordinates of the two z intercepts of the parabola and write them as a list, separated by
commas:
It is OK to round your value(s) to to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)  = 2x² + 14x - 4

= 2(x² + 7x) - 4

= 2(x² +7x + 3.5²) - 2(3.5²) - 4

= 2(x+3.5)² - 28.5

vertex (3.5, -28.5) = (7/2, -57/2)

The vertical intercept is the y-intercept, i.e., f(0) = -4.

The x-intercepts are the values of x for which y=0.

2x² + 14x - 4  = 0

x = [-14±√(14²-4(2)(-4))]/[2(2)] = [-7±√57]/2 ≅ -7.27, 0.27

For this function to be continuous, the second function must have the value of the limit as x approaches 3 of the first function.

To find [tex]\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{2x^2-3-15}{x-3}[/tex] we have to factor the top of the fraction

2x^2 - 3 -15

2x^2 - 18

2* (x^2 - 9)

2 * (x + 3) (x - 3)

this is perfect because this cancels out the x - 3 on the bottom

so the function become f(x) = 2 * (x + 3)

When 3 is plugged in it becomes 2 * (3 + 3) = 2 * 6 = 12

Now if you plug in 3 to the second function and make it equal to 12, you can find the value of k.

k*(3) - 1 = 12

k*3 = 13

k = 13/3

k = 4.33
