Suppose that the hourly wages of fast food workers are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation. The wag

es of 40 randomly sampled fast food workers are used to estimate the mean wage of the population. What t-score should be used to find the 80% confidence interval for the population mean?

Answer: 1.303639

Step-by-step explanation:

The t-score for a level of confidence (1-\alpha) is given by :_

t_{(df,\alpha/2)}, where df is the degree of freedom and \alpha is the significance level.

Given : Level of significance : 1-\alpha:0.80

Then , significance level : \alpha: 1-0.80=0.20

Sample size : n=40

Then , the degree of freedom for t-distribution: df=n-1=40-1=39

Using the normal t-distribution table, we have

t_{(df,\alpha/2)}=t_{39,0.10}=1.303639

Thus, the t-score should be used to find the 80% confidence interval for the population mean =1.303639

If vx = 7.60 units and vy = -6.60 units, determine the magnitude of v⃗ .
Liula [17]
To find the magnitude of a vector, take the components, square them, then add them, then take the square root. This is very similar to the Pythagorean Theorem.

For your particular problem, I’ve included a picture showing how that specific calculation is done. :)

5-7k=-4(k+1)-3 add work pleasee!!!
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

k=4

Step-by-step explanation:

5-7k=-4(k+1)-3

Distribute

5-7k=-4k-4-3

Combine like terms

5-7k=-4k-7

Add 7k to each side

5-7k +7k = -4k+7k-7

5 = 3k-7

Add 7 to each side

5+7 = 3k-7+7

12 = 3k

Divide by 3

12/3 = 3k/3

4=k

A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After an hour the population has i
Assoli18 [71]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of growth equals 420/100 = 4.2 times per hour

So after t=three hours,

size of culture = 100*(4.2)^t = 100*4.2^3=7408.8 bacteria,

round to nearest unit 7409 bacteria after three hours (after initial size of 100).
