A university with a high water bill is interested in estimating the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each d

ay. In a sample of 11 students, the average time was 5.33 minutes and the standard deviation was 1.33 minutes. Using this sample information, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each day. Assume normality.a) What is the lower limit of the 99% interval? Give your answer to three decimal places.
b) What is the upper limit of the 99% interval? Give your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

a) lower limit = 4.295 minutes

b) upper limit = 6.365 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 5.33 minutes

Standard deviation r = 1.33 minutes

Number of samples n = 11

Confidence interval = 99%

z(at 99% confidence) = 2.58

Substituting the values we have;

5.33+/-2.58(1.33/√11)

5.33+/-2.58(0.401010088288)

5.33+/-1.0346060277

5.33+/-1.035

= ( 4.295, 6.365) minutes

Therefore at 99% confidence interval (lower, upper limit) = ( 4.295, 6.365) minutes

a) lower limit = 4.295 minutes

b) upper limit = 6.365 minutes

7400 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation for compounding annual interest

AV=PV(1+i)ⁿ

We have

19200=7400(1+.06)ⁿ

Solve for n

divide both sides by 7400

2.594=(1.06)ⁿ

then use the following rule for exponents

x^y=z\\log_xz=y

which means that

log_{1.06}2.594=n

Solve and get

16.362

which rounds to 17

Evaluate 3x+5(y+3) when x is 2 less than the quotient of y and 3, and y=12
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

12/3 = 4

4 - 2 = 2

x = 2

using the order of operations, you would first have to do y + 3

y = 12

12 + 3 = 15

the equation simplified is 3 x 2 + 5 x 15

3 x 2 = 6

5 x 15 = 75

75 + 6 = 81

Marge cut 16 pieces of tape. Each piece is 3/8in long HOW MUCH TAPE DID SHE USE???????? meow :3
Alla [95]
To solve this, all you need to do is multiply 16 by 3/8. When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, make the whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1.

16      3
---- x ----        Multiply the numerators together and then the denominators.
 1       8

(16 x 3) / (1 x 8)

48 / 8                   Then divide.

She used 6 inches of tape.
