Answer:

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the elephant and y the acrobat

elephant has 4 legs and acrobat 2

4x+2y=40

x+y=15  ⇒x=15-y

substitute for x in the equation:

4(15-y)+2y=40

60-4y+2y=40

-2y=40-60

y=-20/-2

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

number of elephant=15-10=5 elephants

The state highway department is studying traffic patterns on one of the busiest highways in the state. As part of the study, the
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The need to sample 76 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many days do they need to sample

We need to sample n days.

n is found when M = 300.

We have that \sigma = 1010

So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

300 = 2.575*\frac{1010}{\sqrt{n}}

300\sqrt{n} = 2.575*1010

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*1010}{300}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*1010}{300})^{2}

n = 75.1

Rounding up

The need to sample 76 days.

Brian Vanecek, VP of Operations at Portland Trust Bank, is evaluating the service level provided to walk-in customers. According
77julia77 [94]

Answer: (14.18, 15.08)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 64

Sample mean : \overline{x}=15

Standard deviation : \sigma=4

Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.90=0.1

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm\ z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=15\pm(1.645)\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{64}}\\\\\approx15\pm0.82\\\\=(14.18,\ 15.08)

Hence, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean of waiting times is (14.18, 15.08).
