Complete question:

The manager of a supermarket would like to determine the amount of time that customers wait in a check-out line. He randomly selects 45 customers and records the amount of time from the moment they stand in the back of a line until the moment the cashier scans their first item. He calculates the mean and standard deviation of this sample to be barx = 4.2 minutes and s = 2.0 minutes. If appropriate, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean time (in minutes) that customers at this supermarket wait in a check-out line

Answer:

(3.699, 4.701)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 45

Sample mean, x' = 4.2

Standard deviation \sigma = 2.0

Required:

Find a 90% CI for true mean time

First find standard error using the formula:

S.E = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

= \frac{2}{\sqrt{45}}

= \frac{2}{6.7082}

SE = 0.298

Standard error = 0.298

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 45 - 1 = 44

To find t at 90% CI,df = 44:

Level of Significance α= 100% - 90% = 10% = 0.10

t_\alpha_/_2_, _d_f = t_0_._0_5_, _d_f_=_4_4 = 1.6802

Find margin of error using the formula:

M.E = S.E * t

M.E = 0.298 * 1.6802

M.E = 0.500938 ≈ 0.5009

Margin of error = 0.5009

Thus, 90% CI = sample mean ± Margin of error

Lower limit = 4.2 - 0.5009 = 3.699

Upper limit = 4.2 + 0.5009 = 4.7009 ≈ 4.701

Confidence Interval = (3.699, 4.701)

A spinner used in a board game is divided into 12 equally sized sectors. Seven of these sectors indicate that the player should
xeze [42]

Answer:

20.8 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of spinner:

45.1 is the area of sectors where the token doesn't move, which 5 sectors doesn't move the token (don't forget that the bonus points doesn't move token). Then

45.1/5=9.02

9.02*12=108.24

K=1/2(r^2)sin150

108.24=1/2(r^2)sin150

216.48=(r^2)1/2

432.96=r^2

r=20.8
