Answer:

The value of x is 60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is

$A=length \times width$

The area of school is

$A=165\times 300=49500$

The area of old lot with school is

$A=(165+75)(300+75)=90000$

The area of old lot without school is

$A_1=90000-49500=40500$

The area of new lot with school is

$A=(165+75+x)(300+75+x)=x^2 + 615 x + 90000$

The area of old lot without school is

$A_2=x^2 + 615 x + 90000-49500=x^2 + 615 x + 40500$

It is given that the area of new parking lot will be twice the size of the old parking lot.

$2A_1=A_2$

$2(40500)=x^2 + 615 x + 40500$

$0=x^2 + 615 x -40500$

$0 = (x - 60) (x + 675)$

$x=60,-675$

The value of x can not be negative. Therefore the value of x is 60 ft.

Answer:

P1= -2/3

P2= -10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

take the sq rt of both sides and use both + and - roots

3P+6=4

3P+6=-4

subtract 6 from both sides for each one

3P=-2

P=-2/3

3P=-10

P= -10/3

Assume that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed with true

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

(a) 95% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a certain seam is [4.52 , 5.18].

(b) 98% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a another seam is [4.12 , 4.99].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed with true standard deviation 0.75.

(a) Also, the average porosity for 20 specimens from the seam was 4.85.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample average porosity = 4.85

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 0.75

n = sample of specimens = 20

$\mu$ = true average porosity

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.

So, 95% confidence interval for the true mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $4.85-1.96 \times {\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{20} } }$ , $4.85+1.96 \times {\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{20} } }$ ]

= [4.52 , 5.18]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a certain seam is [4.52 , 5.18].

(b) Now, there is another seam based on 16 specimens with a sample average porosity of 4.56.

The pivotal quantity for 98% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample average porosity = 4.56

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 0.75

n = sample of specimens = 16

$\mu$ = true average porosity

Here for constructing 98% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.

So, 98% confidence interval for the true mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.3263 < N(0,1) < 2.3263) = 0.98 {As the critical value of z at 1% level

of significance are -2.3263 & 2.3263}

P(-2.3263 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.3263) = 0.98

P( $-2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $2.3263$ ) = 0.98

P( $\bar X-2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.98

98% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $4.56-2.3263 \times {\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{16} } }$ , $4.56+2.3263 \times {\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{16} } }$ ]

= [4.12 , 4.99]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a another seam is [4.12 , 4.99].
