The number of hours worked per year per person in a state is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 39. A sample of 1

5 people is selected at random, and the number of hours worked per year per person is given below. Calculate the 98% confidence interval for the mean hours worked per year in this state. Round your answers to the nearest integer and use ascending order.

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the population mean number of hours worked per year per person is (2146, 2193).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete.

The number of hours registered in the sample are:

2051 2061 2162 2167 2169 2171

2180 2183 2186 2195 2196 2198

2205 2210 2211

The sample mean can be calculated as:

M=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{15}(2051+2061+2162+2167+2169+2171+2180+2183+2186+2195+2196+2198+2205+2210+2211)\\\\\\M=\dfrac{32545}{15}\\\\\\M=2169.67\\\\\\

We have to calculate a 98% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is know and is σ=39.

The sample mean is M=2169.67.

The sample size is N=15.

As σ is known, the standard error of the mean (σM) is calculated as:

\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{39}{\sqrt{15}}=\dfrac{39}{3.873}=10.07

The z-value for a 98% confidence interval is z=2.326.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_M=2.326 \cdot 10.07=23.43

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 2169.67-23.43=2146\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 2169.67+23.43=2193

The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is (2146, 2193).

Answer:

30240

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 possibilities for the first time slot.

After that, there are 9 possibilities for the second time slot.

So on and so forth.

The number of ways five time slots can be assigned is:

10×9×8×7×6 = 30240

Or, using permutation notation, ₁₀P₅.

Which graph shows the equation c = 10+ 3t, where c is the total cost of going to the carnival and t is the number of $3 tickets
Vladimir [108]

we have

c = 10+ 3t

where

c---------> is the total cost of going to the carnival

t---------> is the number of \$3 tickets purchased

we know that

<u>the domain of the function is the interva</u>l---------------> [0,∞)

Because the number of tickets can not be negative

<u>The range of the function is the interval</u>-------------> [10,∞)

Because the total cost can not be negative

using a graph tool

see the attached figure
