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

Can someone help me please ?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

V= 40.9

Step-by-step explanation:

the top and the bottom side both equal 26.2, if you multiply that number by 2 (Because 2 sides have that same number) you get 52.4. The next step is to take the total perimeter which is 134.2, and subtract 52.4 which brings you to 81.8. Then you divide 81.8 by 2 to get your final answer of 40.9, which is the value of V. Hope this helps!

Carlos is using the quadratic formula to find the solutions of y=3x^2-5x-2. Which of the following will simplify to the correct
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Fx=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation in one variable given by the general expression:

ax^2+bx+c

Where:

a\neq 0

The roots of this equation can be found using the quadratic formula, which is given by:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

So:

y(x)=3x^2-5x-2=0

As you can see, in this case:

a=3\\b=-5\\c=-2

Using the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(3)(-2)} }{2(3)}=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}

Therefore, the answer is:

Fx=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}
