Answer:

60 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

"per" means "divided by" in this context. When you want "words per minute", it means you want the number of words divided by the corresponding number of minutes:

... (900 words)/(15 minutes) = 60 words/minute

In a random sample of 80 teenagers, the average number of texts handled in a day is 50. The 96% confidence interval for the mean

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

a) $\bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4$

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is $\alpha=1-0.96=0.04$ and the value of $\alpha/2 =0.02$ and the margin of error is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05$

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

$\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}$

And replacing we got:

$\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45$

b) $ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828$

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma$ represent the population standard deviation

n=80 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

For this case we can calculate the mean like this:

$\bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4$

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is $\alpha=1-0.96=0.04$ and the value of $\alpha/2 =0.02$ and the margin of error is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05$

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

$\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}$

And replacing we got:

$\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45$

Part b

For this case is the sample size is doubled the margin of error would be:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828$

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor $\sqrt{2}$

When multiplying by 10 how many spaces do you move the decimal point

shusha [124]

Answer:

If you multiply a decimal by 10, the decimal point will move one place to the right. If you divide a decimal by 10, the decimal point will move one place to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying a decimal by 10 increases the value of each digit by 10. Multiplying a decimal by a power of 10 increases the value of each digit by a number of times that is equivalent to that power of 10. When a digit's value is changed, that digit is moved to the appropriate place.
