Answer:

93% confidence interval for the mean number of days of sick leave is [10.39 days , 14.01 days].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the firm's statistician randomly selects 100 personnel files and notes the number of sick days taken by each employee. The sample mean is 12.2 days and the sample standard deviation is 10 days.

Assume the population standard deviation is 10.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 93% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                          P.Q. = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean = 12.2 days

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 10 days

            n = sample of files = 100

            \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 93% confidence interval we have used One-sample z  test statistics because we know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 93% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.8121 < N(0,1) < 1.8121) = 0.93  {As the critical value of z at 3.5%

                                           level of significance are -1.8121 & 1.8121}  

P(-1.8121 < \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.8121) = 0.93

P( -1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X -\mu} < 1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.93

P( \bar X-1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.93

<u>93% confidence interval for </u>\mu = [ \bar X-1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X +1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                       = [ 12.2-1.8121 \times {\frac{10}{\sqrt{100} } } , 12.2+1.8121 \times {\frac{10}{\sqrt{100} } } ]

                                       = [10.39 days , 14.01 days]

Therefore, 93% confidence interval for the mean number of days of sick leave is [10.39 days , 14.01 days].

Hurrrryyyyy plllzzz. Determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points
pashok25 [27]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

y = 2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

To determine the equation of the line that passes through (10,2) and (-3,2), we need to determine the slope of the line. Then substitute the slope and any given point in point slope form to obtain the equation of the line.

<h3>Finding the Slope of the line:</h3>

\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}  }

\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}  }

<u>Substitute the coordinates of the given points:</u>

\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{2 - 2}{-3 - 10  }

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the slope:</u>

\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{0}{-3 - 10  }

∴ 0 divided by ANY number is ALWAYS 0.

\implies \text{Slope} =0

<h3>Finding the equation of the line:</h3>

Point slope form formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

  • x₁ and y₁ are the coordinates of any given point.
  • m is the slope

<u>Substitute the values in the point slope form:</u>

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - y_{1}  = m(x - x_{1} )

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2  = 0(x - 10)

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the equation of the line:</u>

∴ Any number multiplied by 0 is 0.

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2  = 0

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y   = 0 + 2

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y   = 2

Thus, the equation of the line is y = 2.
