-6z+ 12
= -6(z -2) (distributive property)

The final answer is -6(z -2)~

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem we have that:

The average number of hours worked per week is 43.4, so $\mu = 43.4$ .

Suppose 12% of these workers work more than 48 hours. Based on this percentage, what is the standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers.

This means that the Z score of $X = 48$ has a pvalue of 0.88. This is Z between 1.17 and 1.18. So we use $Z = 1.175$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.175 = \frac{48 - 43.4}{\sigma}$

$1.175\sigma = 4.6$

$\sigma = \frac{4.6}{1.175}$

$\sigma = 3.91$

The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.

As a follow-up to a report on gas consumption, a consumer group conducted a study of SUV owners to estimate the mean mileage f

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean highway mileage for SUVs is (18.29mpg, 20.91mpg).

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 96.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

$df = 96-1 = 95$

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level $\alpha$ and divide by 2. So:

$\frac{1-0.95}{2} = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 95 and 0.025 in the t-distribution table, we have $T = 1.9855$ .
