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

Given: y" - 2y' = 6t + 5e^2t. Find the correct form to use for y_p if the equation is solved using Undetermined coefficients. Do
const2013 [10]

Answer:

y_p=A+Bt+Ce^{2t}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: y'' - 2y' = 6t + 5e^{2t}.

we need to find the correct form for y_p if the equation is solve using undetermined coefficients.

A first order differential equation \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=f\left ( x,y \right ) is said to be homogeneous if f(tx,ty)=f(x,y) for all t.

Consider homogeneous equation y''-2y'=0

Let y=e^{rt} be the solution .

We get (r^2-2r)e^{rt}=0

Since e^{rt}\neq 0, r^2-2r=0.

So, we get solution as y_c=c_1+c_2e^{2t}

As constant term and e^{2t} are already in the R.H.S of equation

y" - 2y' = 6t + 5e^{2t}, we can take y_p as y_p=A+Bt+Ce^{2t}

Step 1 = Distributive Property ( multiplying the 2 by each term in parenthesis)

Step 2 = Addition Property ( adding like terms)

Step 3 = Addition Property (adding 34x to each side)

Step 4 = Division Property. ( dividing both sides by 17)
