The mean waiting time at the drive-through of a fast-food restaurant from the time the food is ordered to when it is received is

85 seconds. A manager devises a new system that he believes will decrease the wait time. He implements the new system and measures the wait time for 10 randomly sampled orders. They are provided below:
109 67 58 76 65 80 96 86 71 72
Assume the population is normally distributed.
(a) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the wait times for the 10 orders.
(b) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean waiting time of the new system.

Answer:

a) And if we replace we got: \bar X= 78

s = 15.391

b) 78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=62.182    

78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=93.818    

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (62.182;93.818)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Dataset given: 109 67 58 76 65 80 96 86 71 72

Part a

For this case we can calculate the sample mean with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And if we replace we got: \bar X= 78

And the deviation is given by:

s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And if we replace we got s = 15.391

Part b

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of \alpha=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,9)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=3.25

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=62.182    

78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=93.818    

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (62.182;93.818)

Look at the rectangle and the square:
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

She is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem:

16^2+8^2

256+64=320

320 is 17.89

8^2+8^2

64+64=128

√128 is 11.31

Ada is incorrect. The length of diagonal SQ is bigger than the length of diagonal OM. But it is not two times bigger.

The sum of 9and -16 increased by 4
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is,

→ Sum of 9 and -16 increased by 4

The equation will be,

→ {9 +(-16)} + 4

→ (9 - 16) + 4

→ -7 + 4

→ [ -3 ]

Hence, the solution is -3.
