In order to test whether the average waiting time this year differs from last year, a sample of 25 data were collected this year

with a mean of 0.74 hours and standard deviation 0.22 hours. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for the true waiting time for banking service this year.
a. 0.74 ± 2.57 x 0.22/√25
b. 0.74 ± 2.797 x 0.22/√25
c. 0.74 ± 2.797 x 0.22/√24
d. 0.74 ± 2.787 x 0.22/√25

Answer:

a. 0.74 ± 2.57 x 0.22/√25

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is a range of values in which there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within that range.

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

x+/-zr/√n .......1

Given;

Mean gain x = 0.74 hours

Standard deviation r = 0.22

Number of samples n = 25

Confidence interval = 99%

z (at 99% confidence) = 2.57 (from the table)

Substituting the values we have into equation 1;

0.74+/- 2.57×0.22/√25

Answer:

(B) 0.74 + or - 2.797 × 0.22/√25

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval = mean + or - t × sd/√n

mean = 0.74 hours

sd = 0.22 hours

n = 25

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 25 - 1 = 24

Confidence level = 99%

t-value corresponding to 24 degrees of freedom and 99% confidence level is 2.797

Confidence Interval = 0.74 + or - 2.797 × 0.22/√25

Answer:

What error did the salesman make?

The salesman made an error when convert 270 square feet to yards.

What should be the actual cost of the carpet?

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:Tisha orders a carpet for a room that measures 270 square feet.

This means the room needs 270 square feet of carpet

But from the question, we know that the carpet is sold in square yards

We convert square feet to square yards

For our conversion rates

3 ft = 1 yard

9 ft² = 1 square yards(yd²)

270 ft² = x

Cross Multiply

9 ft² × x = 270ft² × 1 yd²

x yd²= 270ft² × 1 yd²/9 ft²

x = 30 yd²

Hence, 270ft² = 30yd²

Cost of carpet =

1 yd² = $12.00

30 yd² =

Cross Multiply

= 30 × $12.00

= $360.00

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

What error did the salesman make?

The salesman made an error when convert 270 square feet to square yards.

He said 270 square feet = 90 square yards

But he was wrong.

270 square feet = 30 square yards.

What should be the actual cost of the carpet?

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

Xelga [282]

Given:

The equation is

$\dfrac{3}{2}+b=\dfrac{7}{4}$

To find:

The value of b.

Solution:

We have,

$\dfrac{3}{2}+b=\dfrac{7}{4}$

Subtracting both sides by $\dfrac{3}{2}$ , we get

$b=\dfrac{7}{4}-\dfrac{3}{2}$

$b=\dfrac{7-2(3)}{4}$

$b=\dfrac{7-6}{4}$

$b=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the value of b is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ .

The volume of a single layer in a rectangular prism is 18 cubic centimeters. There are 5 layers in this rectangular prism. What

sweet [91]

Answer: $90cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional solid.

A rectangular prism has six faces (each one of these faces are rectangles), eight vertices and twelve edges.

You know that this rectangular prism has 5 layers and the volume of one of these layers is 18 cubic centimeters ( $18cm^3$ ).

Assuming that all these layers are equal, the volume of this rectangular prism can be calculated with:

$V_{prism}=5*V_1$

Where $V_1$ is the volume of one layer.

Substituting, you get:

$V_{prism}=(5)(18cm^3)\\\\V_{prism}=90cm^3$
