The heights of American men are normally distributed. If a random sample of American men is taken and the confidence interval is

(65.3,73.7), what is the sample mean x¯? Give just a number for your answer. For example, if you found that the sample mean was 12, you would enter 12.

Answer:

<h2>69.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the confidence interval of the heights of american heights given as (65.3,73.7);

Lower confidence interval L = 65.3 and Upper confidence interval U = 73.7

Sample mean will be the average of both confidence interval . This is expressed mathematically as \overline x = \frac{L+U}{2}

\overline x = \frac{65.3+73.7}{2}\\\overline x = \frac{139}{2}\\\overline x = 69.5

Hence, the sample mean is 69.5

motikmotik
Ok, so we need to take 60 x 60.  That gives us 3600, which is the amount of seconds in 60 minutes.  Then we need to take 3600 x 24, to figure out the number of seconds in 24 hours (1 full day).  That gives us 86,400.  Finally, we take 86400 x 365, to determine how many seconds are in 1 full year (365 days).  That gives us the answer of <span>31536000.  Hope this helps!</span>

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

7 Hours 12 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So they one of the printer increases at a rate of 1/12 and the other increases at a rate of 1/18. Since you don't know the time it actually takes, you will replace both numerators with and x. (x/12 and x/18). You want to set these up so that they are adding. (x/12 + x/18=1). Since you're adding, you want to change it to the same denominator. The lowest is 36 so you multiply x/12 by 3/3 (so you don't unbalance the equation) and x/18 by 2/2. You'll end up with 3x/36 + 2x/36= 1 which will simplify to 5x/36=1. Multiply each side by 36 to leave the variable by itself. It becomes 5x=36 and when you divide it by 5 you get 7.2. So it's seven and .2 hours, which is equivalent to7 and 1/5 of an hour or 7 hours and 12 minutes.

Which score indicates the highest relative position? I. A score of 2.6 on a test with X = 5.0 and s = 1.6 II. A score of 650 on
Zanzabum

Answer:

A score of 2.6 on a test with \bar X = 5.0 and s = 1.6 and A score of 48 on a test with \bar X = 57 and s = 6 indicate the highest relative position.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

I. A score of 2.6 on a test with \bar X = 5.0 and s = 1.6

II. A score of 650 on a test with \bar X = 800 and s = 200

III. A score of 48 on a test with \bar X = 57 and s = 6

And we have to find that which score indicates the highest relative position.

For finding in which score indicates the highest relative position, we will find the z score for each of the score on a test because the higher the z score, it indicates the highest relative position.

<u>The z-score probability distribution is given by;</u>

              Z = \frac{X-\bar X}{s} ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = mean score

            s = standard deviation

            X = each score on a test

  • <u>The z-score of First condition is calculated as;</u>

Since we are given that a score of 2.6 on a test with \bar X = 5.0 and s = 1.6,

So,  z-score = \frac{2.6-5}{1.6} = -1.5  {where \bar X = 5.0 and s = 1.6 }

  • <u>The z-score of Second condition is calculated as;</u>

Since we are given that a score of 650 on a test with \bar X = 800 and s = 200,

So,  z-score = \frac{650-800}{200} = -0.75  {where \bar X = 800 and s = 200 }

  • <u>The z-score of Third condition is calculated as;</u>

Since we are given that a score of 48 on a test with \bar X = 57 and s = 6,

So,  z-score = \frac{48-57}{6} = -1.5  {where \bar X = 57 and s = 6 }

AS we can clearly see that the z score of First and third condition are equally likely higher as compared to Second condition so it can be stated that <u>A score of 2.6 on a test with </u>\bar X<u> = 5.0 and s = 1.6</u> and <u>A score of 48 on a test with </u>\bar X<u> = 57 and s = 6 </u> indicate the highest relative position.
