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).

The clownfish kay wanted to buy for $12 last week has been marked up 8%. What is the new price of the fish?
Crank
The markup is 8%, meaning it costs 8% more.
The starting price is 100%.
Therefore, the markup is 108% of $12.
If we multiply 12 by 108% (1.08), we will get our answer of $12.96

Answer:

a. Genre with highest mean is drama. Mean is 72.10

B. 10.46 is difference between means of comedy and horror

C. Horror has the lowest minimum value at 25.00

Action and comedy both have the highest maximum value at 93.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First create a table with the data provided like I did in the attachment. It would give a clearer picture of what your answers should be.

1. Which genre has the highest mean score?

From the table, we have the means as:

Action = 58.63

Comedy = 59.11

Drama = 72.10

Horror = 48.65

The genre with the highest score is drama at 72.10

2. Difference in mean score between comedy and horror

Mean of comedy = lc = 59.11

Mean of horror = ly = 48.65

Difference = lc-ly

= 59.11 - 48.65

= 10.46

3. The genre with lowest score is the genre with the lowest minimum value. This genre is horror and the lowest minimum is 25.00

The genre with highest minimum value is that whose maximum value is the highest out of all the genres. Both action and comedy have the highest maximum value at 93.00

Scores on the Wechsler intelligence quotient (IQ) test are normally distributed with a mean score of 100 and a standard deviatio
rosijanka [135]
15.87% of the population does not meet the minimum standards.

We use z-scores to find this probability:

z=(X-μ)/σ = (85-100)/15 = -15/15 = -1

Using a z-table (http://www.-table.com) we see that the area to the left of, less than, this is 0.1587.  This is 15.87%.

Marcus needs to bike at least 80 miles this week for his training.If he has already biked 25 miles this week ,then how many mile
Orlov [11]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

So if he already biked 25 miles we can subtract 80 and 25 which will get a total of 55. if we divided 55 miles to the rest of the 5 days he will have to bike 11 miles each day

What is the solution to the equation sqrt8x= sqrt4+2x
sp2606 [1]

I'm going to make some assumptions here:

That your sqrt8x= sqrt4+2x means √(8x) = √(4+2x). (There are other interpretations.)


Squaring both sides, 8x = 4 + 2x, or 6x = 4, or x = 4/6, or x = 2/3.
