A consumer affairs investigator records the repair cost for 4 randomly selected washers. A sample mean of $64.26 and standard de

viation of $27.77 are subsequently computed. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

Critical value: z = 1.28

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $46.487 and $82.033.

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{1-0.80}{2} = 0.10

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 1-0.1 = 0.9, so z = 1.28

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.

So

M = 1.28*\frac{27.77}{\sqrt{4}} = 17.773

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So 64.26 - 17.773 = $46.487.

The upper end of the interval is M added to the mean. So 64.26 + 17.773 = $82.033.

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $46.487 and $82.033.

So the equation would be “a squared +4 squared=8 squared.” Then you would square 4 which would be 16 and 8 which would be 64. Now the equation is a squared+ 16=64 the rest is basic algebra. Subtract 16 from 64 which is 48. Now you have a squared= 48. You get the square root of both sides so now you have the square root of a is 6.9. I’m pretty sure that’s how you do it. I apologize if I’m incorrect.

Lostsunrise [7]
No, a parallelogram is not a rectangle. meaning it has a completely different area formula, I know it sucks.

Formula: base × height

I don't use feet and inches. sorry I couldn't provide with to much help.

Answer:

  6.  A

  7.  C

  8.  E

Step-by-step explanation:

6. Devon gets $0.45 for each of the s programs he sells, so his pay for selling is 0.45s. He gets a $40 flat rate for each game, so his total pay is ...

  p = 0.45s + 40 . . . . . matches choice A

__

7. Robert gets $25 per hour in tips for each of the x hours he works, so his tip earnings are 25x. He gets a $40 flat rate for each day he works, so his total pay for working x hours is ...

  y = 25x +40 . . . . . matches choice C

__

8. The graph of a proportional relationship is a straight line through the origin. This is described by B and C, so choice E is the best.
