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.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

(E) The bias will decrease and the variance will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that researchers working the mean weight of a random sample of 800 carry-on bags to e the airline.

We have to find out the effect of increasing the sample size on variance and bias.

We know as per central limit theorem, sample mean follows a normal distribution with mean = sample mean

and std deviation of sample mean = std error = \frac{std dev}{\sqrt{n} }

Thus std error the square root of variance is inversely proportional to the square root of sample size.

Also whenever we increase sample size the chances of bias would decrease as the sample size becomes larger

So correct answer is both bias and variation will decrease.

(E) The bias will decrease and the variance will decrease.

If you were to add 5 to my number and then divide by 4, you would get 7
Norma-Jean [14]
Let's make an equation. T will be the number.
(T+5)/4=7
Let's multiply both sides by 4 to get T by itself.
T+5=28
Subtract 5 from both sides.
T=23
Your number is 23.
