The manager of a grocery store has taken a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took these 100 customer

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$4-2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=3.767$

$4+2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=4.233$

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (3.767;4.233)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=4$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=1$ represent the population standard deviation

n=100 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of $\alpha=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.326$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$4-2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=3.767$

$4+2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=4.233$

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (3.767;4.233)

1. Where will the line y = -1/2 -3 cross the y-axis?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

1) The y- axis is where x = 0, so the line "y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis when x = 0. You plug in "x = 0" into the equation, and get y = 0 -3, so y = -3. That means the line " y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis ar (0, -3)

2) If there are 2 parallel lines, then there is no solution, because the definition of parallel lines is, " 2 lines in the same plane, that never meet." That makes the solution inconsistent.

Solve the system of linear equations below. <br><br> X+y=4<br> 2x+3y=0

deff fn [24]

X + y = 4...x = 4 - y

2x + 3y = 0
2(4-y) + 3y = 0
8 - 2y + 3y = 0
-2y + 3y = 0 - 8
y = -8

x + y = 4
x - 8 = 4
x = 4 + 8
x = 12

solution is : (12,-8)
