A survey of 76 commercial airline flights of under 2 hours resulted in a sample average late time for a flight of 2.55 minutes.

The population standard deviation was 12 minutes. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average time that a commercial flight of under 2 hours is late. What is the point estimate? What does the interval tell about whether the average flight is late?

Answer:

The best point of estimate for the true mean is:

\hat \mu = \bar X = 2.55

2.55-1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=-0.148    

2.55+1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=5.248    

Since the time can't be negative a good approximation for the confidence interval would be (0,5.248) minutes. The interval are tellling to us that at 95% of confidence the average late time is lower than 5.248 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=2.55 represent the sample mean for the late time for a flight

\mu population mean

\sigma=12 represent the population deviation

n=76 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The best point of estimate for the true mean is:

\hat \mu = \bar X = 2.55

The confidence interval for the true mean is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The Confidence level given is 0.95 or 95%, th significance would be \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. If we look in the normal distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail we got z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Replacing we got:

2.55-1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=-0.148    

2.55+1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=5.248    

Since the time can't be negative a good approximation for the confidence interval would be (0,5.248) minutes. The interval are tellling to us that at 95% of confidence the average late time is lower than 5.248 minutes.

Answer:

First answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is called the Arc length, here is the formula:

Arc length = (angle/360)*(2Pi*radius)

So,

(45/360)*(2*3.14*4)

= 3.14

SO Pi !!!!!

Answer:

Translation 1 unit left

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x

g(x)=(x+1)

we know that

The rule of the transformation of f(x) to g(x) is equal to

f(x) ------> g(x)

(x,y) -----> (x-1,y)

That means----> The translation is 1 unit to the left

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

mean=110/8 =13.75 pounds;  median=14 pounds; mode=14 pounds; average=13.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

mean=add all the numbers together to get total then divide that total by the number of amounts present 12, 15, 15, 14, 14, 13, 14, 13 =110, then 110/8=13.75 pounds

mode=arrange amounts in order (smallest to largest), then determine which amount appears more than the other amounts 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15 =14 appears the most

median=organize numbers from smallest to greatest, count how many there are, then determine which number appears in the middle of all of them 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15 = there are 8 numbers present but 14 is in the middle; answer =14

average= take total of mean, then divide it by the number of amounts that appear 110/8 =13.75
