"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

The area of a square postcard is 25 square inches. How long is each side postcard?​
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square the formula is A = bh which with a square is essentially one side squared. We know this because every side of a square is the same. We also know that 5 squared is 25 meaning the answer is 5 inches(You could also use the formula A = bh : A = 5 x 5 : A = 25).

What is the x intercept of y + 4 =− 4(x − 1)
vivado [14]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

since the "b" in y=mx+b ends up being 0, that means that the y intercept is 0, which also means that the x intercept is 0.

Teh slope between two points is calculated by finding the change in y-values and dividing by the change in x-values. for example
Nimfa-mama [501]
Hi there!

The change of y-values is
- 15 - 22 = - 37
The change of x-values is
7 - - 8 = 7 + 8 = 15

Therefore, the slope of this line is
\frac{ - 37}{15}  =  - 2 \frac{7}{15}

Graph the function y = x3 + 6x2 + 2x – 11. Based on the graph, what is the largest possible x-value if y = 0?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is done using Desmos. Just by substitution x = 1 will force the graph to go to y = 0, but graphs are not always that good. This one gets 1.111

to get y = 0. I'd use 1 if you had to answer it and a computer will mark it.
