Senior management of a consulting services firm is concerned about a growing decline in the firm’s weekly number of billable hou

rs. The firm expects each professional employee to spend at least 40 hours per week on work. In an effort to understand this problem better, management would like to estimate the standard deviation of the number of hours their employees spend on work-related activities in a typical week. Rather than reviewing the records of all the firm’s full-time employees, the management randomly selected a sample of size 51 from the available frame. The sample mean and sample standard deviations were 48.5 and 7.5 hours, respectively. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the number of hours this firm’s employees spend on work-related activities in a typical week

Answer:  (45.79, 51.21)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.99=0.01

Sample size : n= 51 , which is a large sample (n>30), so we use z-test.

Critical value: z_{\alpha/2}=2.576

Sample mean : \overline{x}= 48.5\text{ hours}

Standard deviation : \sigma=7.5\text{ hours}

The confidence interval for population means is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

i.e. 48.5\pm(2.576)\dfrac{7.5}{\sqrt{51}}

i.e.48.5\pm2.70534112234\\\\\approx48.5\pm2.71\\\\=(48.5-2.71, 48.5+2.71)=(45.79, 51.21)

Hence, 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the number of hours this firm’s employees spend on work-related activities in a typical week =  (45.79, 51.21)

An expression that is equivalent to the statement Subtract a from the quotient of 6 and B is 6/b - a

<h3>How to write equivalent expression</h3>

Given statement

Subtract a from the quotient of 6 and B

  • The quotient of 6 and B can be written as 6/B

  • a subtracted from 6/B is written as

6/B - a

Therefore, the correct option equivalent to the statement is option A) 6/B - a

The point (1, −1) is on the terminal side of angle θ, in standard position. What are the values of sine, cosine, and tangent of
defon
The abscissa of the ordered pair, that is the x-coordinate, is equal to 1 and the ordinate, the y-coordinate, is equal to -1. In the cartesian plane, this point lies in the fourth (IV) quadrant. The standard position of the angle is that which has one of its side is in the x-axis.

Solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed.
           h = sqrt((-1)² + (1)²) = √2
Below items show the calculation for each of the trigonometric functions.

 sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse = y/h = (-1)/(√2) = -√2/2
 cos  θ = adjacent/hypotenuse = x/h = (1)/√2 = √2/2
tan θ = opposite/adjacent = y/x = -1/1 = -1

Write 4 3/7 as a decimal.
Citrus2011 [14]
Hi!

There are two ways to do this. 

1. Start with the first part of the decimal, (4.) then divide 3/7 to get the second part. 

3/7 = 0.43

4.43

2. Convert the mixed number 4 3/7 to a fraction. 

4 x 7 = 28
28 + 3 = 31

31/7

Now convert that into a decimal.

31/7 = 4.43

The answer is 4.43

Hope this helps! :)
