In a metal fabrication​ process, metal rods are produced to a specified target length of 15 feet. Suppose that the lengths are n

ormally distributed. A quality control specialist collects a random sample of 16 rods and finds the sample mean length to be 14.8 feet and a standard deviation of 0.65 feet. What is the​ 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods produced by this​ process?

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods produced by this​ process is [14.45 , 15.15].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a metal fabrication​ process, metal rods are produced to a specified target length of 15 feet. Suppose that the lengths are normally distributed.

A quality control specialist collects a random sample of 16 rods and finds the sample mean length to be 14.8 feet and a standard deviation of 0.65 feet.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods is given by;

      P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean length = 14.8 feet

             s = sample standard deviation = 0.65 feet

            n = sample of rods = 16

            \mu = true mean

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population​ mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.131 < t_1_5 < 2.131) = 0.95  {As the critical value of t at 15 degree of

                                               freedom are -2.131 & 2.131 with P = 2.5%}

P(-2.131 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.131) = 0.95

P( -2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for </u>\mu = [ \bar X-2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+2.131 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                             = [ 14.8-2.131 \times {\frac{0.65}{\sqrt{16} } } , 14.8+2.131 \times {\frac{0.65}{\sqrt{16} } } ]

                                             = [14.45 , 15.15]

Hence, 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of rods produced by this​ process is [14.45 , 15.15].

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (14.4537 ,15.1463)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 15 feet

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 14.8 feet

Sample size, n = 16

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, σ = 0.65 feet

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 15

95% Confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 15 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.1314  

14.8 \pm 2.1314(\dfrac{0.65}{\sqrt{16}} ) \\\\= 14.8 \pm 0.3463 = (14.4537 ,15.1463)  

is the required confidence interval for the true mean length of rods.

Given ​ f(x)=x^2−2x−5​. <br><br> Enter the quadratic function in vertex form.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

f(x) = (x-1)^2-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the quadratic using the method of completing the square:

x^2-2x-5=(x^2-2x+1)-1-5=(x-1)^2-6\\f(x) = (x-1)^2-6

From this form it is immediately clear that the vertex of the parabola is at x=1 and its y-intercept at -6.

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Explain how you found the slope and the y-intercept.
mafiozo [28]

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y = - 1 / 2x + 4

<h3>How to write equation in slope intercept form?</h3>

The equation in slope intercept form is represented as follows:

y = mx + b

where

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

Therefore,

using the points (2, 3)(0, 4)

m = 4 - 3 / 0 - 2 = 1 / -2 = - 1 / 2

Hence,

b = 4

Therefore, the slope intercept equation of the line is as follows:

y = - 1 / 2x + 4

The y-intercept is value of y when x = 0
