Answer:

95% confidence interval for the average mpg of all minivans in the company's inventory is [15.22 mpg , 15.98 mpg].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a company checks the miles per gallon (mpg) for a simple random sample of 100 minivans drawn from its current inventory.

The average mpg of these 100 minivans is 15.6 with a standard deviation of 1.9 mpg.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                         P.Q. = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average mpg = 15.6 mpg

             s = sample standard deviation = 1.9 mpg

            n = sample of minivans = 100

            \mu = population average mpg

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.987 < t_9_9 < 1.987) = 0.95  {As the critical value of t at 99 degree

                                         of freedom are -1.987 & 1.987 with P = 2.5%}  

P(-1.987 < \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.987) = 0.95

P( -1.987 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X -\mu} < 1.987 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-1.987 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.987 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-1.987 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+1.987 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                      = [ 15.6-1.987 \times {\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{100} } } , 15.6+1.987 \times {\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{100} } } ]

                                      = [15.22 mpg , 15.98 mpg]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the average mpg of all minivans in the company's inventory is [15.22 mpg , 15.98 mpg].

It is appropriate to compute a confidence interval for this problem using the Normal curve as t test statistics is used when data should follow normal distribution.

L(t) models the length of each day (in minutes) in Manila, Philippines tt days after the spring equinox. Here, t is entered in r
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Given that:

L(t) = 52\sin(\frac{2 \pi t}{365})+728

where

L(t) represents the length of each day(in minutes) and t represents the number of days.

Substitute the value of L(t) = 750 minutes we get;

750= 52\sin(\frac{2 \pi t}{365})+728

Subtract 728 from both sides we get;

22= 52\sin(\frac{2 \pi t}{365})

Divide both sides by 52 we get;

0.42307692352= \sin(\frac{2 \pi t}{365})

or

\frac{2 \pi t}{365} = \sin^{-1} (0.42307692352)

Simplify:

\frac{2 \pi t}{365} =0.43683845

or

t = \frac{365 \times 0.43683854}{2 \times \pi} = \frac{365 \times 0.43683854}{2 \times 3.14}

Simplify:

t \approx 25 days

Therefore, the first day after the spring equinox that the day length is 750 minutes, is 25 days
