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.

The accountant charged $35 for the first hour of work and $23 for each hour after that.He earned a total of$127 how many hours d
dexar [7]

Answer:

He worked a total of 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first hour the man makes $35 dollars for the first hour then for the other hours he earns $23 dollars, right? So we start off with 35.

35 = one hour.

35 + 23 = 2 hours .  =  58.

35  + 23 + 23 = 3 hours. =  81.

35 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 4 hours.  =  104.

35 + 23 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 5 hours. =  127.

We were looking for if the man earned $127 dollars how many hours would be be working.


He'd be working 5 hours.

Hope this helps (:
