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.

A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes or a simple arrangement in 10 minutes. The florist makes at least twice as
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of simple arrangements and y be the number of grand arrangements.

1. The florist makes at least twice as many of the simple arrangements as the grand arrangements, so

x\ge 2y

2. A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes =\dfrac{3}{10} hour, then he can make y arrangements in \dfrac{3}{10}y hours.

A florist can make  a simple arrangement in 10 minutes =\dfrac{1}{6} hour, so he can make x arrangements in \dfrac{1}{6}x hours.

The florist can work only 40 hours per week, then

\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x\le 40

3. The profit on the simple arrangement is $10, then the profit on x simple arrangements is $10x.

The profit on the grand arrangement is $25, then the profit on y grand arrangements is $25y.

Total profit: $(10x+25y)

Plot first two inequalities and find the point where the profit is maximum. This point is point of intersection of lines x=2y and \dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x=40

But this point has not integer coordinates. The nearest point with two integer coordinates is (126,63), then the maximum profit is

\$(10\cdot 126+25\cdot 63)=\$2,835
