An important problem in industry is shipment damage. A pottery producing company ships its product by truck and determines that

it cannot meet its profit expectations if, on average, the number of damaged items per truckload is greater than 11. A random sample of 15 departing truckloads is selected at the delivery point and the average number of damaged items per truckload is calculated to be 11.3 with a calculated sample of variance of 0.64. Select a 90% confidence interval for the true mean of damaged items.a) [10.68, 11.92]b) [10.64, 11.36]c) [53.67, -33.86]d) [-0.3635, 0.3635]e) [10.94, 11.66]

Answer:

e) (10.94, 11.66)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a small sample size of n = 15 departing truck loads (we suppose that the sample comes from a normal distribution), the average number of damaged items per truck load is calculated to be \bar{x} = 11.3 with a calculated sample variance s^2 = 0.64. The 90% confidence interval for the true mean of damaged items is given by \bar{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}) where t_{\alpha/2} is the \alpha/2th quantile of the t distribution with n - 1 = 14 degrees of freedom.  

As we want the 90% confidence interval, we have that \alpha = 0.1 and the confidence interval is 11.3\pm t_{0.05}(\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{15}}) where t_{0.05} = -1.7613. Then, we have 11.3\pm (-1.7613)(\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{15}}) and the 90% confidence interval is given by (10.94, 11.66)

A culture started with 3000 bacteria. After 2 hours it grew to 3300 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after 16
bixtya [17]

Answer:

6,430\ bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a exponential function of the form

y=a(1+r)^{x}

where

y is the population of bacteria

a is the initial value

r is the rate of growth

x is the number of hours

we have

a=3,000 bacteria

y=3,000(1+r)^{x}

For x=2, y=3,300

substitute

3,300=3,000(1+r)^{2}

(3,300/3,000)=(1+r)^{2}

Apply square root both sides

1+r=\sqrt{3.3/3}

r=\sqrt{3.3/3}-1

r=0.0488

r=4.88\%

substitute in the equation

y=3,000(1+0.0488)^{x}

y=3,000(1.0488)^{x}

<u><em>Predict how many bacteria will be present after 16 hours</em></u>

For x=16 hours

substitute

y=3,000(1.0488)^{16}

y=6,430\ bacteria

Z = 2x + 3

Putting value of x

Z = 2( - 16.7) + 3

Z = - 33.4 + 3

Z= - 30.4
