"Suppose that a committee is studying whether or not there is waste of time in our judicial system. It is interested in the mean

amount of time individuals waste at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty. The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors. The sample mean wait time was 7 hours with a sample standard deviation of 2.2 hours."
a. Define the random variables X and X- in words.
b. Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.
c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted.
d. Explain in a complete sentence what the confidence interval means.

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = sample size = 81

u = mean wait time = 7 hours

σ = standard deviation = 2.2 hours

a

X is wait time per individual

X- is the mean of the sample means of size 81

b. Normal distribution

It's a distribution that occurs naturally in many situations; and it fits many natural phenomena. an example is given in the question above.

c.

x-bar = 7

To calculate the Margin of Error (ME)

For confidence Interval of 95%, the margin of error M.E = 1.96σ/√n

Where n = 81

M.E = 1.96 * 2.2 /√81

M.E = 0.48

So, the confidence Interval is given as follows

95% CI: 7-0.48 < u < 7+0.48

95% CI: 6.52 < u < 7.48

d. We are 95% confident that the population mean waiting time is

between 6.52 and 7.48 hours

Given: sinθ = -3/5, θ is a third quadrant angle, and tan φ = -7/24, φ is a second-quadrant angle; find cos(θ + φ])
Natali [406]

Answer:

First option: cos(θ + φ) = -117/125

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that cos(θ + φ) = cos(θ)cos(φ) - sin(θ)sin(φ)

If sin(θ) = -3/5 in Quadrant III, then cos(θ) = -4/5.

Since tan(φ) = sin(φ)/cos(φ), then sin(φ) = -7/25 and cos(φ) = 24/25 in Quadrant II.

Therefore:

cos(θ + φ) = cos(θ)cos(φ) - sin(θ)sin(φ)

cos(θ + φ) = (-4/5)(24/25) - (-3/5)(-7/25)

cos(θ + φ) = (-96/125) - (21/125)

cos(θ + φ) = -96/125 - 21/125

cos(θ + φ) = -117/125

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through the point (1, -2) and has a slope of 1/3.
slavikrds [6]
Y=1/3x+c as 1/3 is the gradient/slope
Plug in the coordinates into the equation
-2= 1/3*(1) +c
C=-2-1/3
C=-7/3
Y= 1/3x-7/3

Jerry charges $15 for each lawn that he cuts. Depending homework and chores, he has time to cut at most 10 lawns a week. Jerry h
vova2212 [387]

Answer:  D) Number of yards Jerry cuts; 0 ≤ x ≤ 10  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given function that describes the total profit,

y = 15 x - 10

Where x represents the number of lawns Jerry cut in a week.

But, Depending homework and chores, he has time to cut at most 10 lawns a week.

Thus, x ≤ 10

Also, the number of lawns can not be negative.

Therefore, x ≥ 0

And, the value of x will decide the domain of the function y,

Thus, the domain of the given function is,

0 ≤ x ≤ 10

⇒ Option D is correct.
