x= wildfires in 2003

163,476= 4x - 12,520

(163,476 + 12,520) / 4

x = 43,999 your answer is 43,999

The parent volunteers made 120 snow cones in 5 hours. The student council made 100 snow cones in 4 hours. Who made more snow con

marysya [2.9K]

The parent volunteers:
120 snow cones ... 5 hours
x snow cones = ? ... 1 hour

120 * 1 = 5 * x
120 = 5 * x /5
x = 120 / 5 = 24 snow cones

The student council:
100 snow cones ... 4 hours
y snow cones = ? ... 1 hour

100 * 1 = 4 * y
100 = 4 * y /4
y = 100 / 4 = 25 snow cones

Result: The student council made more snow cones per hour (25 > 24).

Answer:

(a) Point estimate = 7.10

(b) The critical value is 1.960

(c) Margin of error = 0.800

(d) Confidence Interval = (6.3, 7.9)

(e) We are 90% confident that the average number of hours worked by the students is between 6.3 and 7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\bar x = 7.10$ -- sample mean

$\sigma=5$ --- sample standard deviation

$n = 150$ --- samples

Solving (a): The point estimate

The sample mean can be used as the point estimate.

Hence, the point estimate is 7.10

Solving (b): The critical value

We have:

$CI = 90\%$ --- the confidence interval

Calculate the $\alpha$ level

$\alpha = 1 - CI$

$\alpha = 1 - 90\%$

$\alpha = 1 - 0.90$

$\alpha = 0.10$

Divide by 2

$\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.10/2$

$\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.05$

Subtract from 1

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

$1 - \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.95$

From the z table. the critical value for $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.95$ is:

$z = 1.960$

Solving (c): Margin of error

This is calculated as:

$E = z * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

$E = 1.960 * \frac{5}{\sqrt {150}}$

$E = 1.960 * \frac{5}{12.25}$

$E = \frac{1.960 *5}{12.25}$

$E = \frac{9.80}{12.25}$

$E = 0.800$

Solving (d): The confidence interval

This is calculated as:

$CI = (\bar x - E, \bar x + E)$

$CI = (7.10 - 0.800, 7.10 + 0.800)$

$CI = (6.3, 7.9)$

Solving (d): The conclusion

We are 90% confident that the average number of hours worked by the students is between 6.3 and 7.9
