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.

How do you plot a fraction on a graph that only allows whole numbers?
klio [65]

Answer:

Depends, rise over run could be considered a fraction, or if it's a number that has a whole number like one and 3/4 then you just plot the point to the best of your ability. In other words guess.

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z
viktelen [127]

Answer:

x=6 the angle =88

z=92

Step-by-step explanation:

find x

92+11x+22=180

114+11x=180

11x=180-114

x=66/11

x=6 the angle is 11(6)+22=66+22=88

find z=

z+88=180

z=180-88=92
