Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean gpa is [2.526,2.894].

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is

\mu\pm z^{*}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Where, μ is population mean, σ is standard deviation, z* is the value of z-score and n is number of samples.

The z-score value for 90% confidence interval is 1.645.

The average gpa is found to be 2.71, so μ=2.71. The variance is 0.25, it means

\sigma^2=0.25

\sigma=0.5

The 90% confidence interval for population mean is

2.71\pm 1.645\cdot \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20}}

[2.71-1.645\cdot \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20}},2.71+1.645\cdot \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20}}]

[2.526,2.894]

Therefore the 90% confidence interval for the population mean gpa is [2.526,2.894].

Solution: The 90% confidence interval for the population mean is:

\bar{x} \pm t_{\frac{0.1}{2}} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where:

\bar{x}=2.71

s=\sqrt{0.25} =0.5

t_{\frac{0.1}{2}}=1.729 is the critical value at 0.1 significance level for df = n-1 =20-1=19

2.71 \pm 1.729 \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20}}

2.71 \pm0.19

\left( 2.71-0.19,2.71+0.19\right)

\left(2.52,2.90 \right)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean is \left(2.52,2.90 \right)

25 POINTS!!! The equation y=470x represents the relationship between x, the time that a plane flies in hours, and y, the distanc
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For plane A,

Equation that represents the relationship between time 'x' and distance 'y' is,

y = 470x

By comparing this equation with the slope-intercept form of the equation,

y = mx + b

m = slope = 470

b = 0

Here, slope represents the speed of plane A.

Therefore, speed of plane A = 470 mi per hour

For plane B,

From the given table,

Slope of the graph = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

                                = \frac{960-480}{2-1}

                                = 480

Speed of plane B = 480 miles per hour

Since, speed of plane B is more than plane A,

Plane B is flying faster.

I need the answer ASAP please.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3/4 of the lot was full and the lot holds 1000 vehicles, then there are 3/4(1000) in the lot.  3/4(1000) = 750.  That means there are 750 vehicles in the lot.  If 200 cars are in the lot, then 750 - 200 = 550 trucks.

A rectangle initially has width 7 meters and length 10 meters and is expanding so that the area increases at a rate of 8 square
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The length of rectangular is increasing at a rate 0.5714 meters per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Initial dimensions of rectangular box:

Length,l = 10 m

Width,w = 7 m

\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 8\text{ square meters per hour}\\\\\dfrac{dw}{dt} = 40\text{ centimeters per hour} =0.4\text{ meters per hour}

We have to find the rate of increase of length.

Area of rectangle =

A = l\times w

Differentiating we get,

\displaystyle\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dl}{dt}w + \frac{dw}{dt}l

Putting values, we get,

8 = \dfrac{dl}{dt}(7) + (0.4)(10)\\\\\dfrac{dl}{dt}(7) = 8 -4\\\\\dfrac{dl}{dt} \approx 0.5714

Thus, the length of rectangular is increasing at a rate 0.5714 meters per hour.
