supervisor records the repair cost for 25 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $93.36 and standard deviation of $19.95 are

subsequently computed. Determine the 98% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

<h2><u>Answer with explanation:</u></h2>

The confidence interval for population mean (when population standard deviation is unknown) is given by :-

\overline{x}-t^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}< \mu

, where n= sample size

\overline{x} = Sample mean

s= sample size

t* = Critical value.

Given : n= 25

Degree of freedom : df=n-1=24

\overline{x}= \$93.36

s=\ $19.95

Significance level for 98% confidence interval : \alpha=1-0.98=0.02

Using t-distribution table ,

Two-tailed critical value for 98% confidence interval :

t^*=t_{\alpha/2,\ df}=t_{0.01,\ 24}=2.4922

⇒ The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval = 2.4922

Then, the 95% confidence interval would be :-

93.36-(2.4922)\dfrac{19.95}{\sqrt{25}}< \mu

=93.36-9.943878< \mu

=93.36-9.943878< \mu

=83.416122< \mu

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. = 83.4161

Is the circumference of all circles about 3 times greater than their diameters. and why?
stira [4]

Answer:

<h2>Yes the circumference is about times greater than their diameters</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We will approach this problem by doing a check

Say the diameter of a circle is 4 cm

Hence the radius is 3 cm

We know that the circumference is C=2\pi r

C=2*3.142*2= 12.57cm

The circumference is about 3 time bigger than the diameter

Let us try another case say the diameter is 6 cm

The radius is 3 cm

C=2*3.142*3= 18.85cm

How many distinct pairs of perfect squares differ by 35? (the pair $a, b$ is the same as the pair $b, a$.)?
Phantasy [73]
35 has 4 divisors, hence two factor pairs: 1*35 and 5*7. Each corresponds to a set of perfect squares that differ by 35

One pair is ((35±1)/2)^2 = {17^2, 18^2} = {289, 324}
The other is ((7±5)/2)^2 = {1^2, 6^2} = {1, 36}

Estimate 25.65 + 13.23 + 6.35 by rounding each number to the nearest tenth.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

  • b. 25.7 + 13.2 + 6.4 = 45.3

Step-by-step explanation:

25.65 ≈ 25.7, 13.23 ≈ 13.2, 6.35 ≈ 6.4

  • 25.65 + 13.23 + 6.35 =
  • 25.7 + 13.2 + 6.4 =
  • 45.3

Correct choice is b.
