The mean number of hours of flying time for pilots at Continental Airlines is 49 hours per month. Assume that this mean was base

d on actual flying times for a sample of 100 Continental Pilots and the sample standard deviation was 8.5 hours.
a. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error?
b. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean flying time for the Pilots?

Answer:

a) 17.09 hours

b) The 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean flying time for the Pilots is between 31.91 hours and 66.09 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation of the sample, so we use the t distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 49 - 1 = 48

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 48 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.0106

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.0106*8.5 = 17.09

s is the standard deviation of the sample. 17.09 hours is the answer for a.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 49 - 17.09 = 31.91 hours

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 49 + 17.09 = 66.09 hours

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean flying time for the Pilots is between 31.91 hours and 66.09 hours

the combined area of two squares is 45 square centimetres each side is twice as long as a side of the other square what length o
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Let the side of  one square be x.    Area = x*x = x²

Then the side of other square  would be 2x ,   Area = 2x*2x = 4x²

Combined area = x² + 4x²  = 5x²

This combined area = 45 cm²

you simplify

Therefore  5x²  = 45   Divide both sides by 5

                 x²  =  45/5

                 x²  = 9        Take square root of both sides

                 x   =  √9

                 x  = 3

Length of larger square is 2x  = 2*3 = 6 cm

Length of larger square = 6cm

Need help on all these questions!!
Yuki888 [10]

Okay, so YZ = 3 cm.  You have XM correct. And YM = 0.5.

Now, you have the midpoint M at the correct spot.

Use Pythagorean's theorem o find the length of AB.  a² + b² = c²   a=6,  b=8.

6² = 36   8² = 64    36 + 64 = 100      AB = 10!

If AB = 10   then AM = 5    MB also = 5

If B is the midpoint of AC,  C would be 12 rows down from A, and 16 columns to the right. The last spot where the line intersects.

There are your answers!

Paul [167]
Their selling price was 2.45 times the price they bought it. If they split the profit evenly and there was two of them, multiply their profit by two and divide that number by 800 to find how much more they sold it for, so they sold it for 245% more than they bought it
