Production of a gas flow meter takes place in two distinct operations. Measurements (n = 15) of the time required for the first

operation yield sample mean and standard deviation of 45 min and 4 min, respectively. Measurements (n = 15) of the time required for the second operation yield sample mean and standard deviation of 32 min and 2.5 min, respectively. For the purposes of this question, assume each time is a normally‐distributed random variable. a) What is the probability that the time required to complete both of those steps will exceed 80 min? b) What is a 95% confidence interval for the expected total time required to produce one flow meter? c) What is a 95%

Answer:

a) P(a > 80) = 0.323

b) The 95% confidence interval = (73.40, 80.60)

c) The 95% confidence interval expresses that the mean of the distribution can always be found in the given range, with a 95% confidence level.

Step-by-step explanation:

X ~ (45, 4)

Y ~ (32, 2.5)

(X+Y) ~ (77, 6.5)

Let a = (X+Y)

a) Probability that the time required to complete both of those steps will exceed 80 min = P(a > 80)

This is a normal distribution problem

We then standardize 80 min time

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (a - μ)/σ = (80 - 77)/6.5 = 0.46

To determine the probability the time required to complete both of those steps will exceed 80 min = P(a > 80) = P(z > 0.46)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(a > 80) = P(z > 0.46) = 1 - P(z ≤ 0.46) = 1 - 0.677 = 0.323

b) 95% confidence interval for the expected total time required to produce one flow meter.

We need to obtain the margin of error

Margin of error = (critical value) × (standard error of the sample)

Critical value for a 95% confidence interval = critical value for a significance level of 5% = t(15-1, 0.05/2) = 2.145 (using the t-score since information on the population mean and standard deviation isn't known)

Standard error for the sample of sum of times = (standard deviation of the sum of times)/√n = (6.5/√15) = 1.678

Margin of error = 2.145 × 1.678 = 3.60

Limits of the confidence interval = (Sample mean ± margin of error)

Lower limit of the confidence interval = (Sample mean - margin of error) = 77 - 3.60 = 73.40

Upper limit of the confidence interval = 77 + 3.60 = 80.60

The confidence interval = (73.40, 80.60)

⦁ A total of 640 people voted in an election. The circle graph shows the results. ⦁ How many people voted for Goron? Show your w
Bezzdna [24]

Circle graphs or pie charts are used to represent data in percentages or proportions

  • 192 voted for Goron
  • 288 voted for Smith or Fishman

<h3>People that voted for Goron</h3>

The total number of votes is given as:

Total = 640

The circle chart is not given.

So, we make use of an assumed value

Assume 30% voted for Goron

The number of people would be:

Goron = 30% * 640

Evaluate

Goron = 192

Hence, 192 voted for Goron using the assumed value

<h3>People that voted for Smith or Fishman</h3>

Assume 45% voted for Smith or Fishman

The number of people would be:

Smith or Fishman = 45% * 640

Evaluate

Smith or Fishman = 288

Hence, 288 voted for Smith or Fishman using the assumed value

Answer:

B y+8 = 2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular slope is a negative reciprocal of the x

which is 2x

then use the formula

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y + 8 = 2(x-4)

What is the converse of t &gt; r
Anettt [7]

The converse of  t > r is r > t

<h3>What is a converse statement?</h3>

A converse statement is determined when both the hypothesis and conclusion are reversed or interchanged.

In this condition, the hypothesis is written as the conclusion and the conclusion is changed to be the hypothesis.

If a conditional statement is written as: x → y

The converse is then written as y → x

Where;

  • x is the hypothesis
  • y is the conclusion

Given the expression as;

t > r

We can see that;

  • The variable 't' is the hypothesis
  • The variable 'r' is the conclusion

The converse will be;

r > t

Hence, the converse is r > t
