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  ]

After sitting in a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at a temperature of 34 degrees F is placed on the counter and slowly warms
Anton [14]

Answer:

  • k = 0.006
  • T = 48 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature difference of 72 -34 = 38 °F is reduced to a difference of 72 -41 = 31 °F after 35 minutes. The exponential term in the temperature expression could have the factor ...

  (31/38)^(t/35) = e^(-kt)

Taking the natural log, we find ...

  (t/35)ln(31/38) = -kt

  k = ln(38/31)/35 ≈ 0.00581711

To the nearest thousandth, this is ...

  k ≈ 0.006

Using this in the equation for temperature, we have ...

  T = 72 -38e^(-0.006t)

Filling in the desired value for t (80), we find the turkey temperature after 80 minutes to be about

  T = 72 -38e^(-.006×80) = 72 -38e^-.48 ≈ 48.49

  T ≈ 48 °F

The value of k is about 0.006, and the turkey temperature is about 48 °F.

Is 1.2 less than or higher than 1.5
Olenka [21]

1.2 is less than 1.5

If you cancel out 1 from both numbers you're left with .2 and .5

Multiply both by 10 and get 2 and 5.

Obviously 2 is less than 5.

How do you convert a mixed number 3 3/5 to an improper fraction?
oee [108]
Multiply 3 by the denominator, then add the numerator. Then we keep the original denominator. 
So we get:
3 x 5 = 15 + 3 = 18
we get:
18/5
