Use the information provided to determine a 95% confidence interval for the population variance. A researcher was interested in

the variability in service time (in hours) spent by mechanics fixing the same automotive problem. A random sample was taken resulting in a sample of size 20 from a substantial file of reported experience. The summary statistics are as follows: n = 20, sample mean = 13.8 hours, sample standard deviation = 3.9 hours. Assume service time follows a normal distribution. Round to two decimal places.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (8.80, 32.45).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the population variance is given as follows:

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

It is provided that:

<em>n</em> = 20

<em>s</em> = 3.9

Confidence level = 95%

⇒ <em>α</em> = 0.05

Compute the critical values of Chi-square:

\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.025,19}=32.852\\\\\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{1-0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.975,19}=8.907

*Use a Chi-square table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population variance as follows:

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

\frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{32.852}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{8.907}\\\\8.7967\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.4453\\\\8.80\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.45

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (8.80, 32.45).

I think of a number, then divide by 5, then subtract 78 -the result is nine
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Imagine that the number that we are looking for is x

We know that:

x/5 - 78 = 9

x/5         = 9 + 78

x/5         = 87

x             = 87 . 5 = 435

So the number we need is 435

What is the domain of g(x) = sqrt x +1
Shkiper50 [21]
There can be no negative in a sqrt 
so x+1 must be equal or greater then 0
x+1\geq 0
x \geq -1
so all answers must be greater then  or equal to -1
-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
(-1,infinity) is the domain

A group of friends were working on a student film. They spent all their budget on props and equipment. They spent $912 on props,
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Total Budget: $1200

Step-by-step explanation:

76% = 912

1% = 12

100% = 12 x 100 = $1200

I brute forced till I got the number which multiplied by 76 came out to 912 from there I had what was 1% of the budget then I multiplied that by 100 for the answer.
