Given that the scale readings of the laboratory scale is normally distributed with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 0.0002 grams.

Part A:

If the weight is weighted 5 times and the mean weight is 10.0023 grams, the 98% confidence interval for μ, the true mean of the scale readings is given by:

98\% \ C. \ I.=\bar{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right) \\  \\ =10.0023\pm2.33\left(\frac{0.0002}{\sqrt{5}}\right) \\  \\ =10.0023\pm2.33(0.000089) \\  \\ =10.0023\pm0.00021 \\  \\ =(10.0023-0.00021, \ 10.0023+0.00021) \\  \\ =(10.0021, \ 10.0025)

Thus, we are 98% confidence that the true mean of the scale readings is between 10.0021 and 10.0025.



Part B:

To get a margin of error of +/- 0.0001 with a 98% confidence, then

\pm z_{\alpha/2}\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)=\pm0.0001 \\ \\ \Rightarrow2.33\left(\frac{0.0002}{\sqrt{n}}\right)=0.0001 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\left(\frac{0.0002}{\sqrt{n}}\right)= \frac{0.0001}{2.33} =0.0000429 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\sqrt{n}= \frac{0.0002}{0.0000429} =4.66 \\  \\ \Rightarrow n=4.66^2=21.7156\approx22

Therefore, the number of <span>measurements that must be averaged to get a margin of error of ±0.0001 with 98% confidence is 22.</span>

The number of years a radio functions is exponentially distributed with parameter λ = 1 8 . If Jones buys a used radio, what is
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

P(X>8)=e^{-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "The number of years a radio functions" and we know that the distribution is given by:

X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{8})

We can assume that the random variable t represent the number of years that the radio is already here. So the interest is find this probability:

P(X>8|X>t)

We have an important property on the exponential distribution called "Memoryless" property and says this:

P(X>a+t| X>t)=P(X>a)

Where a represent a shift and t the time of interest.

On this case then P(X>8|X>t)=P(X>8+t|X>t)=P(X>8)

We can use the definition of the density function and find this probability:

P(X>8)=\int_{8}^{\infty} \frac{1}{8}e^{-\frac{1}{8}x}dx

=\frac{1}{8} \int_{8}^{\infty} e^{-\frac{1}{8}x}dx

=[lim_{x\to\infty} (-e^{-\frac{1}{8}x})+e^{-1}]=0+e^{-1}=e^{-1}
