Because of staffing decisions, managers of the Gibson-Marion Hotel are interested in the variability in the number of rooms occu

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a) $s^2 =30^2 =900$

b) $\frac{(19)(30)^2}{30.144} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(19)(30)^2}{10.117}$

$567.28 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 1690.224$

c) $23.818 \leq \sigma \leq 41.112$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following question: Because of staffing decisions, managers of the Gibson-Marimont Hotel are interested in the variability in the number of rooms occupied per day during a particular season of the year. A sample of 20 days of operation shows a sample mean of 290 rooms occupied per day and a sample standard deviation of 30 rooms

Part a

For this case the best point of estimate for the population variance would be:

$s^2 =30^2 =900$

Part b

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the significance $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , the critical values for this case are:

$\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=30.144$

$\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=10.117$

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

$\frac{(19)(30)^2}{30.144} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(19)(30)^2}{10.117}$

$567.28 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 1690.224$

Part c

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

$23.818 \leq \sigma \leq 41.112$

How many x-intercepts does the graph of y = 2x^2 – 8x + 5 have?

nydimaria [60]

A graph of the equation shows the appropriate choice to be
C. 2

_____
If you would rather, you can look at the value of the discriminant. For the equation y = ax²+bx+c, the discriminant (d) is
d = b²-4ac
For your equation, this evaluates to
d = (-8)²-4(2)(5) = 64 -40 = 24
When the discriminant is positive, the function has two real roots (2 x-intercepts). When it is zero, there is only one x-intercept, and when it is negative, there are none (the roots are complex).
