A meteorologist is studying the speed at which thunderstorms travel. A sample of 10 storms are observed. The mean of the sample

was 12.2 MPH and the standard deviation of the sample was 2.4. What is the 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of thunderstorms?

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of thunderstorms is [10.712, 13.688].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Sample size = 10

Sample mean = 12.2 mph

Standard deviation = 2.4

Confidence interval = 95%

At confidence interval 95% then z-score is 1.96.

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of thunderstorms is

CI=\overline{x}\pm z*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where, \overline{x} is sample mean, z* is z score at 95% confidence interval, s is standard deviation of sample and n is sample size.

CI=12.2\pm 1.96\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{10}}

CI=12.2\pm 1.487535

CI=12.2\pm 1.488

CI=[12.2-1.488, 12.2+1.488]

CI=[10.712, 13.688]

Therefore the 95% confidence interval for the true mean speed of thunderstorms is [10.712, 13.688].

Answer:

C. $97

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of his wage for all 15 days is the sum of all wages for the 15 days divided by 15.

average wage for 15 days = (sum of wages for the 15 days)/15

The amount of wages during a number of days is the product of the average wage of those days and the number of days.

First 7 days:

average wage: $87

number of days: 7

total wages in first 7 days = 7 * $87/day = $609

Last 7 days:

average wage: $92

number of days: 7

total wages in last 7 days = 7 * $92/day = $644

8th day:

wages of the 8th day is unknown, so we let x = wages of the 8th day

total wages of 15 days = (wages of first 7 days) + (wages of 8th day) + (wages of last 7 days)

total wages of 15 days = 609 + x + 644 = x + 1253

average wage for 15 days = (sum of wages for the 15 days)/15

average wage for 15 days = (x + 1253)/15

We are told the average for the 15 days is $90/day.

(x + 1253)/15 = 90

Multiply both sides by 15.

x + 1253 = 1350

Subtract 1253 from both sides.

x = 97

Solve the following system of equations:
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

<u><em>(-1,1)</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by either graphing and finding ther point the lines intersect, or mathematically,  I'll do both.

<u>Graphing:</u>

<u>Mathematically:</u>

−2x + 4y = 6

y = 2x + 3

See the attached graph.  The lines intersect at (-1,1)

--------------------

I'll rearrange the first equation (to make it easier for me):

−2x + 4y = 6

4y = 2x + 6

y = (1/2)x + 1.5

Now lets substitute the second equation into the first so that we can eliminate y:

y = 2x + 3

[(1/2)x + 1.5] = 2x + 3

- (3/2)x = (3/2)

x = -1

If x = -1:

y = 2(-1) + 3

y = 1

The solution is x = -1 and y = 1, or (-1,1)

=================

Both approaches give us (-1,1), the solution to the system of equations.  It is the only point that satisfies both equations.
