Travel time data is collected on an arterial. With 30 runs, an average travel time of 152 seconds is computed over the 2.0 miles

length, with a computed standard deviation of 17.3 seconds.
Required:
a. Compute 95% confidence bounds on your estimate of the mean.
b. Was it necessary to make any assumption about the shape of the travel-time distribution?

Answer:

a

 The 95% confidence bounds is  145.80 <  \mu <   158.19

b

It was not necessary to make any assumption about the shape of the travel  time distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The sample size is  n =  30  

  The sample mean  is  \=x = 152

   The standard deviation is  \sigma =  17.3 \  second

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>    E =  1.96 *  \frac{17.3 }{\sqrt{30} }

=>     E = 6.19  

Generally 95% confidence bounds  is mathematically represented as  

      \= x -E <  \mu <  \=x  +E

=>  152  -6.19 <  \mu <  152  -6.19

=> 145.80 <  \mu <   158.19

This 95% confidence bounds show that there is 95% confidence that the true mean lies within this bound hence there is it was not necessary to make any assumption about the shape of the travel  time distribution

Karens batting average is 0.444.she was at bat 45 times. how many hits did she get
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A batting average is simply the ratio of hits/at-bats.  So, if Karen were up to bat 1,000 times and she got a hit 444 times, that makes her batting average 444/1,000 = .444.

The good news is you can multiply this ratio by number of at bats to get the number of hits.

So, 45 hits x .444 = your answer.

Hope that helps.
