Answer:

80% confidence interval of the true average number of hours of TV watched per week is [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a college student is interested in investigating the TV-watching habits of her classmates and surveys 20 people on the number of hours they watch per week. The results are provided below;

<u>Hours of TV per week (X)</u>: 6, 14, 13, 6, 16, 10, 19, 4, 5, 5, 18, 8, 7, 14, 8, 8, 9, 12, 6, 5.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 80% confidence interval for the true average is given by;

                                P.Q. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean number of hours of TV watched per week = \frac{\sum X}{n} = 9.65

            s = sample standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (X -\bar X)^{2} }{n-1} }  = 4.61

            n = sample of people = 20

           \mu = true average number of hours of TV watched per week

<em>Here for constructing 80% confidence interval we have used One-sample t-test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

<u>So, 80% confidence interval for the true average, </u>\mu<u> is ;</u>

P(-1.33 < t_1_9 < 1.33) = 0.80  {As the critical value of t at 19 degrees of

                                               freedom are -1.33 & 1.33 with P = 10%}  

P(-1.33 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.33) = 0.80

P( -1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.80

P( \bar X-1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.80

<u>80% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                         = [ 9.65-1.33 \times {\frac{4.61}{\sqrt{20} } } , 9.65+1.33 \times {\frac{4.61}{\sqrt{20} } } ]

                                         = [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours]

Therefore, 80% confidence interval of the true average number of hours of TV watched per week is [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours].

Rob is making a tent out of canvas in the shape of a square pyramid. Each side of the square base is 6 feet long, and the height
Elena L [17]

The amount of balloons in the tent is 125.075 feet cube. From the given options, approximately, option D is correct

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Rob is making a tent out of canvas in the shape of a square pyramid.  Each side of the square base is 6 feet long, and the height is 6.3 feet.  

Rob filled the tent with balloons,  

We have to find which measurement BEST describes the amount of balloons in the tent?  

As tent if filled with balloons the amount of balloons equals with volume of tent.

<em><u>Volume of tent is given as:</u></em>

\text { volume of tent }=a^{2}+2 a \sqrt{\frac{a^{2}}{4}+h^{2}}

where "a" is side length and "h" is height.

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Then, Volume }=6.3^{2}+2(6.3) \sqrt{\frac{6.3^{2}}{4}+6^{2}}} \\\\ {=39.69+12.6 \sqrt{9.925+36}} \\\\ {=39.69+12.6 \times 6.7766=39.69+85.385} \\\\ {=125.075 \mathrm{ft}^{3}}\end{array}

Hence, from the given options, approximately, option D is correct.
