Last Wednesday, a random sample of 24 students were surveyed to find how long it takes to walk from the Fretwell Building to the

college of education building. The survey team found a sample mean of 12.3 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.2 minutes. assuming walking time from Fretwell to College of education are normally distribution, which of the following is the correct 95% confidence interval for the population mean of walking times.

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We are to investigate the confidence interval of 95% for the population mean of walking times from Fretwell Building to the college of education building.

- The survey team took a sample of size n = 24 students and obtained the following results:

                Sample mean ( x^ ) = 12.3 mins

                Sample standard deviation ( s ) = 3.2 mins

- The sample taken was random and independent. We can assume normality of the sample.

- First we compute the critical value for the statistics.

- The z-distribution is a function of two inputs as follows:

  • Significance Level  ( α / 2 ) = ( 1 - CI ) / 2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Compute: z-critical = z_0.025 = +/- 1.96

- The confidence interval for the population mean ( u ) of  walking times is given below:

                      [ x^ - z-critical*s / √n  ,   x^ + z-critical*s / √n  ]

Answer:        [ 12.3 - 1.96*3.2 / √24  ,  12.3 + 1.96*3.2 / √24  ]

It is known that 10% of the calculators shipped from a particular factory are defective. In a random sample of ten calculators,
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

0.7361

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have

number to be 10

Then we have a probability of 10% = 0.10

We have q = 1-p

= 1-0.10 = 0.90

Then the probability of not more than 1 being defective:

P(x=0) + p(x= 1)

(10C0 x 0.1⁰ x 0.9^10-0)+(10C1 x 0.1¹ x 0.9^10-1)

= 1 x1 x0.3487 + 10 x 0.1 x 0.3874

= 0.3487 + 0.3874

= 0.7361

This is the the required probability and this answers the question.

probability = 10 percent = 0.1

q= 1- 10percent = 90% = 0.9

n = 4

To get the required probabiltiy for this question is

P(not greater than one is defective )=P(x=0)+P(x=1)

= 4C0x(0.1)⁰x(0.9)⁴+4C1x(0.1)¹x(0.9)³

= 0.9477

The required probability is 0.9477

Fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue. Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2
Annette [7]

Answer:

134 children and 120 adult plates were served

Step-by-step explanation:

let the children mean be x

Let the adult meal be y

If fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue, then;

y = x - 14 .... 1

IF Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2.00 each with a total of 441 in amount then;

1.5x + 2y = 441 .... 2

Substitute 1 into 2;

1.5x + 2(x-14) = 441

1.5x+2x-28 = 441

3.5x = 441+28

3.5x = 469

x = 469/3.5

x = 134

Recall that y = x - 14

y = 134-14

y = 120

Hence 134 children and 120 adult plates were served
