Answer:

a) z = 1.645

b) Lower endpoint: 0.422cc/m³

Upper endpoint: 0.452 cc/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Population is approximately normal, so we can find the normal confidence interval.

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645. This is the critical value, the answer for a).

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*\frac{0.0325}{\sqrt{12}} = 0.015

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.437 - 0.015 = 0.422cc/m³.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.437 + 0.015 = 0.452 cc/m³.

b)

Lower endpoint: 0.422cc/m³

Upper endpoint: 0.452 cc/m³

salantis [7]

Answer:

s ≥ 170

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem raises the following statement: "The cruising speed of the bullet train will be at least 170 miles per hour"

Which means that the train has a speed of 170 miles for now or higher, knowing this we can pose the inequality.

Knowing that "s" is the train's cruising speed (in miles per hour), we have to:

s ≥ 170

This would be the inequality that the statement represents.
