A New York restaurant would like to estimate the average amount customers spend for dinner. A sample of size 49 customers result

ed an average of $32.60. Assume the population standard deviation is $5.What is the point estimation for the mean of the population?At 90% level of confidence, what is the margin of error?What is the 90% confidence level for the mean of the population?

Answer: Point of estimation = 32.60

Margin of error = 1.175.

95% confidence interval would be (81.95,84.45).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 49

Average = $32.60

Standard deviation = $5

We need to find:

1) Point of estimation for the mean of the population:

$\mu=\$32.60$

2) At 90% level of confidence, z = 1.645

Margin of error would be

$z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.645\times \dfrac{5}{\sqrt{49}}\\\\=1.645\times \dfrac{5}{7}\\\\=1.175$

So, Margin of error = 1.175.

3) At 90% level of confidence, interval would be

$\bar{x}\pm 1.175\\\\=32.60\pm 1.175\\\\=(32.60-1.175,32.60+1.175)\\\\=(31.425,33.775)\\\\=(31.43,33.76)$

Hence, 90% confidence interval would be (31.43,33.76).

Express the integral as a limit of Riemann sums. Do not evaluate the limit. (Use the right endpoints of each subinterval as your

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Given definite integral as a limit of Riemann sums is:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum^{n} _{i=1}3[\frac{9}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{36}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{97}{2n}i+22]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given definite integral is:

$\int\limits^7_4 {\frac{x}{2}+x^{3}} \, dx \\f(x)=\frac{x}{2}+x^{3}---(1)\\\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}\\\\\Delta x=\frac{7-4}{n}=\frac{3}{n}\\\\x_{i}=a+\Delta xi\\a= Lower Limit=4\\\implies x_{i}=4+\frac{3}{n}i---(2)\\\\then\\f(x_{i})=\frac{x_{i}}{2}+x_{i}^{3}$

Substituting (2) in above

$f(x_{i})=\frac{1}{2}(4+\frac{3}{n}i)+(4+\frac{3}{n}i)^{3}\\\\f(x_{i})=(2+\frac{3}{2n}i)+(64+\frac{27}{n^{3}}i^{3}+3(16)\frac{3}{n}i+3(4)\frac{9}{n^{2}}i^{2})\\\\f(x_{i})=\frac{27}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{108}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{3}{2n}i+\frac{144}{n}i+66\\\\f(x_{i})=\frac{27}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{108}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{291}{2n}i+66\\\\f(x_{i})=3[\frac{9}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{36}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{97}{2n}i+22]$

Riemann sum is:

$= \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum^{n} _{i=1}3[\frac{9}{n^{3}}i^{3}+\frac{36}{n^{2}}i^{2}+\frac{97}{2n}i+22]$

write and solve a real world problem in which you need to find the initial value of the function. Then explain how you solved th

you are planting roses

you started at 12 noon

at 3pm, you have 80 roses left

at 6pm, you have 20 roses left

if you planted roses at a constant rate, how many roses did you start with?

so we can find the slope of this linear function as (20roses-80roses)/(6pm-3pm)=60roses/3hrs=-20roses/hr

your quantity goes down by 20 roses per hour (you plant 20 per hour)

r=-20t+?

find ?, the number of roses when t=0

at 3pm yo have 80 roses

80=-20(3)+?

80=-60+?

140=?

you had 140 roses intiailly

the town polpulationn grows at an exponential rate

the town was founded in 2000

in 2010, the town's population was 1000

in 2015, the town's populationw as 2000

find intial polpulation

exponential can be modeled by $y=ab^t$ where y=population, t=time and b and a are constants (a=initial population)

we are given that after 10 years (2010), y=102400

after 15 years, (2015), y=3276800

so

$102400=ab^{10}$ and $3276800=ab^{15}$

divide the 2nd by the first equation, remembering our exponential properties like $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

$32=b^{5}$

take 5th root of both sides

$b=2$

subsitute back

$102400=ab^{10}$

$102400=a(2)^{10}$

$102400=1024a$

$100=a$

the intial population is 100 people
