Confidence Interval Application Many people feel that the drying of pavement marking paint is much too slow. You spend several d

ays looking for the fastest drying paint you can find; you plan to measure the time (in seconds) for this paint to dry. From information provided by the paint supplier, you believe the time to dry is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 4 seconds. How many paint samples would you need to test to be able to obtain an estimate of paint drying time that is within 1.5 seconds of the actual mean drying time with a probability of 97%

Answer:

The sample size is  n =33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The margin of error is E  =  1.5 seconds

   The standard deviation is  s =  4 seconds

 Given that the confidence level is 97% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

      \alpha =( 100 -97)\%

=>   \alpha  =  0.03

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  2.17

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

    n  =[  \frac{Z_{\frac{\sigma }{2 } } *  \sigma }{E} ]^2

=> n  =[  \frac{2.17  * 4 }{1.5} ]^2

=>  n =33

How much work was done when 50 newtons were moved 10 meters?
NARA [144]

Answer:

D. 500 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Force applied as 50 Newtons
  • Distance moved as 10 meters

We are required to determine the work done

We need to know the formula for calculating the work done

That is; Work done = Force × Distance

Work done is the product of force and the distance covered.

It is measured in joules

In this case;

Work done = 50 N × 10 m

                  = 500 joules

Thus, the work done 500 joules
