Answer:

a) 8469-1.645\frac{100}{\sqrt{64}}=8448.4    

8469+1.645\frac{100}{\sqrt{64}}=8489.6    

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (8448.4;8489.6)    

b) 8469-2.054\frac{100}{\sqrt{64}}=8443.33    

8469+2.054\frac{100}{\sqrt{64}}=8494.68    

So on this case the 96% confidence interval would be given by (8443.33;8494.68)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: On the basis of extensive tests, the yield point of a particular type of mild steel-reinforcing bar is known to be normally distributed with s = 100. The composition of the bar has been slightly modified, but the modification is not believed to have affected either the normality or the value of s.

(a) Assuming this to be the case, if a sample of 64 modified bars resulted in a sample average yield point of 8469 lb, compute a 90% CI for the true average yield point of the modified bar. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=8469 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=100 represent the population standard deviation

n=64 represent the sample size  

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

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

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

8469-1.645\frac{100}{\sqrt{64}}=8448.4    

8469+1.645\frac{100}{\sqrt{64}}=8489.6    

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (8448.4;8489.6)    

(b) How would you modify the interval in part (a) to obtain a confidence level of 96%? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Since the Confidence is 0.96 or 96%, the value of \alpha=0.04 and \alpha/2 =0.02, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.02,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=2.054

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

8469-2.054\frac{100}{\sqrt{64}}=8443.33    

8469+2.054\frac{100}{\sqrt{64}}=8494.68    

So on this case the 96% confidence interval would be given by (8443.33;8494.68)

Consider the linear transformation T from V = P2 to W = P2 given by T(a0 + a1t + a2t2) = (2a0 + 3a1 + 3a2) + (6a0 + 4a1 + 4a2)t
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

[T]EE=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start by finding the dimension of the matrix [T]EE

The dimension is : Dim (W) x Dim (V) = 3 x 3

Because the dimension of P2 is the number of vectors in any basis of P2 and that number is 3

Then, we are looking for a 3 x 3 matrix.

To find [T]EE we must transform the vectors of the basis E and then that result express it in terms of basis E using coordinates and putting them into columns. The order in which we transform the vectors of basis E is very important.

The first vector of basis E is e1(t) = 1

We calculate T[e1(t)] = T(1)

In the equation : 1 = a0

T(1)=(2.1+3.0+3.0)+(6.1+4.0+4.0)t+(-2.1+3.0+4.0)t^{2}=2+6t-2t^{2}

[T(e1)]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&6&-2\\\end{array}\right]

And that is the first column of [T]EE

The second vector of basis E is e2(t) = t

We calculate T[e2(t)] = T(t)

in the equation : 1 = a1

T(t)=(2.0+3.1+3.0)+(6.0+4.1+4.0)t+(-2.0+3.1+4.0)t^{2}=3+4t+3t^{2}

[T(e2)]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&4&3\\\end{array}\right]

Finally, the third vector of basis E is e3(t)=t^{2}

T[e3(t)]=T(t^{2})

in the equation : a2 = 1

T(t^{2})=(2.0+3.0+3.1)+(6.0+4.0+4.1)t+(-2.0+3.0+4.1)t^{2}=3+4t+4t^{2}

Then

[T(t^{2})]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&4&4\\\end{array}\right]

And that is the third column of [T]EE

Let's write our matrix

[T]EE=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]

T(X) = AX

Where T(X) is to apply the transformation T to a vector of P2,A is the matrix [T]EE and X is the vector of coordinates in basis E of a vector from P2

For example, if X is the vector of coordinates from e1(t) = 1

X=\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0&0\\\end{array}\right]

AX=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0&0\\\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&6&-2\\\end{array}\right]

Applying the coordinates 2,6 and -2 to the basis E we obtain

2+6t-2t^{2}

That was the original result of T[e1(t)]
