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

James surveyed people at school and asked whether they bring their lunch to school or buy their lunch at school more often. The
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Bring lunch : 46 males, 254 females

Buy lunch   : 176 males, 264 females

Total number of peoples is

46+254+176+264=740

Total number of males is

46+176=222

The probability of male is

P(Male)=\frac{Males}{Total}=\frac{222}{740} =0.3

Since probability of males is 0.3, therefore options A and C are incorrect.

Total number of persons who buys lunch is

176+264=440

The probability of persons who buys lunch is

P(\text{Buys lunch})=\frac{\text{Buys lunch}}{Total}=\frac{440}{740} =\frac{22}{37}

We need to find the probability of P(male | buys lunch).

According to the conditional probability, we get

P(\frac{A}{B})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{P(\text{male }\cap \text{ buys lunch})}{P(\text{buys lunch})}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{\frac{176}{740}}{\frac{22}{37}}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{2}{5}=0.4

Therefore the correct option is 4.
