Based on a random sample of 1140 adults, the mean amount of sleep per night is 7.96 hours. Assuming the population standard deviation for the amount of sleep per night is 1.6 hours, construct 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of sleep per night.

a. (7.67, 8.05)
b. (7.87, 8.05)
c. (8.09, 9.12)
d. (7.87, 8.23)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

at 95% confidence interval,  the mean amount of sleep per night is ( 7.87, 8.05 ).

Option b) (7.87, 8.05) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

sample size n = 1140

sample mean x" = 7.96

standard deviation σ = 1.6

At 95% confidence interval,

significance level ∝ = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

∝/2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025

Z-Critical [tex]Z_{\alpha /2[/tex] = [tex]Z_{0.025[/tex] = 1.96

Top get the Margin of error E;

E = [tex]Z_{\alpha /2[/tex] × ( σ /√n )

we substitute

E = 1.96 × ( 1.6 /√1140 )

E = 0.09

So, At 95% confidence interval of the population mean is;

⇒ x" ± E

⇒ x" - E or x" + E

we substitute

⇒ 7.96 - 0.09, 7.96 + 0.09

7.87, 8.05

Therefore, at 95% confidence interval,  the mean amount of sleep per night is ( 7.87, 8.05 ).

Option b) (7.87, 8.05) is the correct answer.

Researchers studying two populations of wolves conducted a two-sample t-test for the difference in means to investigate whether the mean weight of the wolves in one population was different from the mean weight of the wolves in the other population. All conditions for inference were met, and the test produced a test statistic of t=2.771 and a p-value of 0.01.

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the p-value?

a. Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are equal, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 or less than −2.771−2.771 is 0.01.
b. Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are equal, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 is 0.01.
c. Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are different, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 or less than −2.771−2.771 is 0.01.
d. Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are different, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 is 0.01.
e. Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are different, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is less than 2.771 is 0.01.a

Answers

Answer:

c. Assuming that the mean weights of wolves in the populations are different, the probability of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 or less than −2.771 is 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the sample means were different:

This means that we have a two-tailed test.

t=2.771 and a p-value of 0.01.

0.01 is the p-value of t = 2.771 multiplied by 2, as we have a two-tailed test(counting both more than 2.771 and less than -2.771). This represents the probabiility of obtaining a test statistic that is greater than 2.771 or less than −2.771 is 0.01, and the correct answer is given by option c.

Step 2: 8x − 8 = 6 + 3x
Step 3: 8x − 3x = 16 + 4
Step 3: 8x + 3x = 16 − 8

In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step?

Step 2: 8x − 1 = 16 + 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Once you remove the common factor from the terms, you are looking for factors of the remaining constant term that have a sum equal to the coefficient of the linear term. These factors are the constants in the binomial factors.

is the hypotenuse changing in

inches?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:    dx / dt=5 in./min.  and  dy/ dt=−6 in./min.

FIND:    dz/ dt when x=12 in. and y=9 in.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to get the equation

x2+y2=z2

Now differentiate this equation with repect to time t getting

D{x2+y2}=D{z2}   ⟶

2xdxdt+2ydydt=2zdzdt   ⟶  

(Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/2.)

x dx/ dt+y dy/ dt= z dz/ dt              (DE)

Now let x=12 and y=9 and solve for z using the Pythagorean Theorem.

tex2html_wrap_inline125

122+92=z2   ⟶   z2=225   ⟶   z=15

Plug in all given rates and values to the equation (DE) getting

(12)(5)+(9)(−6)=(15)dz/ dt   ⟶

6=15dzdt   ⟶

dz/ dt=615=25 in/min.

If sin theta equals 12 divided by 13 and theta is in quadrant 2 cos20 equals? and cos theta equals?

Answers

Answers:

cos(2theta) = -119/169cos(theta) = -5/13

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

The given info is:

sin(theta) = 12/13theta is in quadrant II

From that, we can use the pythagorean trig identity to find that cos(theta) = -5/13. Keep in mind that cosine is negative in quadrant II.

Now use the trig identity below to compute cos(2theta)

[tex]\cos(2\theta) = \cos^2(\theta)-\sin^2(\theta)\\\\\cos(2\theta) = \left(\frac{-5}{13}\right)^2-\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^2\\\\\cos(2\theta) = \frac{25}{169}-\frac{144}{169}\\\\\cos(2\theta) = \frac{25-144}{169}\\\\\cos(2\theta) = -\frac{119}{169}\\\\[/tex]

Other options you could use are these identities

[tex]\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta)-1\\\\[/tex]

or

Use a table of values to find the solution to the equation f(x)=h(x) where
f (x) = 2/3-x and
h(x)= 3- 2x

Show your work

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can examine the equations to see where the solution lies.

f(x) = (2/3) -x

This has an x-intercept where y=0, at x=2/3. It has a y-intercept where x=0, at y=2/3. Its slope is -1.

h(x) = 3 -2x

This has an x-intercept where y=0, at x=3/2. It has a y-intercept where x=0, at y=3. Its slope is -2.

__

In the first quadrant, the graph of h(x) is farther from the origin and steeper than the graph of f(x). The lines must cross in the 4th quadrant at some value of x that is greater than 3/2. The fraction in the definition of f(x) suggests that the solution will be a multiple of 1/3.

The attached table shows a couple of guesses at values of x that would make f(x) = h(x). We find that x = 7/3 is the solution we're looking for.
