In a random sample of 13 microwave​ ovens, the mean repair cost was ​$85.00 and the standard deviation was ​$15.30. Using the st

andard normal distribution with the appropriate calculations for a standard deviation that is​ known, assume the population is normally​ distributed, find the margin of error and construct a 95​% confidence interval for the population mean. A 95​% confidence interval using the​ t-distribution was (75.8, 94.2 ). Compare the results.

Answer: Margin of error = 8.32, and Confidence interval using normal distribution is narrower than confidence interval using t-distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 13

Mean repair cost = $85.00

Standard deviation = $15.30

At 95% confidence interval,

z= 1.96

Since it is normally distributed.

Margin of error is given by

z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \dfrac{15.30}{\sqrt{13}}\\\\=8.32

95% confidence interval would be

\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=85\pm 1.96\times \dfrac{15.30}{\sqrt{13}}\\\\=85\pm 8.32\\\\=(85-8.32,85+8.32)\\\\=(76.68,93.32)

A 95​% confidence interval using the​ t-distribution was (75.8, 94.2 ).

Confidence interval using normal distribution is narrower than confidence interval using t-distribution.

d) What are the values for coefficients a, b, and c in the quadratic equation for Daredevil Danny’s practice jump? (5 points)
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

a = -0.32

b = 16

c = - 168

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the quadratic function is shown. We can model it as follows:

y = a*(x - x1)*(x - x2)

where (x1, 0) and (x2, 0) are its roots

From the picture, roots are (15, 0) and (35, 0), replacing them into the equation:

y = a*(x - 15)*(x - 35)

and the vertex is at (25,32), replacing into the equation:

32 = a*(25 - 15)*(25 - 35)

32 = a*(-100)

a = 32/(-100)

a = -0.32

Applying distributive property:

y = -0.32*(x - 15)*(x - 35)

y = -0.32*(x² - 35x - 15x + 525)

y = -0.32x² + 16x - 168

which corresponds to the general form:

y = ax² + bx + c
