A university with a high water bill is interested in estimating the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each d

ay. In a sample of 11 students, the average time was 5.33 minutes and the standard deviation was 1.33 minutes. Using this sample information, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each day. Assume normality.

Answer: (4.0845,\ 6.5755)

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

n = 11

\overline{x}=5.33\\\\ s=1.33

Since population standard deviation is missing, so we use t-test.

Critical t-value for 99% confidence :

t_{\alpha/2,\ n-1}=3.106   [using two-tailed t-value table]

Confidence interval :

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\= 5.33\pm (3.1060)\dfrac{1.33}{\sqrt{11}}\\\\\approx5.33\pm1.2455\\\\=(5.33-1.2455,\ 5.33+1.2455)\\\\=(4.0845,\ 6.5755)

Hence,  99% confidence interval for the mean amount of time that students spend in the shower each day.= (4.0845,\ 6.5755)

An open box is to be made out of a 6-inch by 14-inch piece of cardboard by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corne
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The dimensions of the resulting box that has the largest volume is 1.3 inches x 1.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Card board size is L= 14 inches and

W = 6 inches

Let x be the size of equal squares cut from 4 corners and bent into a box whose size is now;

L = 14 − 2x , W = 6 −2x and h = x inches.

Volume of the box is given as;

V = (14 −2x)(6−2x)x

V =(4x² − 40x + 84)x

= 4x³ − 40x² + 84x.

Now, for the maximum value,

dV/dx =0

Thus,

dv/dx = 12x² - 80x + 84 = 0

Using quadratic formula

x = [-(-80) ± √(-80²) - 4(12 x 84)]/(2 x 12)

x = [80 ± √(6400 - 4032)]/24

x = (80 + 48.66)/24 or (80-48.66)/24

x = 5.36 or 1.31

Looking at the two values, 1.31 would be more appropriate because if we use 5.36,we will get a negative value of the width (W).

Thus, x = 1.31 inches

Let us use the Second Derivative Test to verify that V has a local maximum at x = 1.31.

Thus;

d²v/dx² = 24x - 80 = 24(1.31) - 80 = -48.56

This is less than 0 and therefore, the volume of the box is maximized when a 1.31 inch by 1.3 inch square is cut from the corners of the cardboard sheet.

find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point. y=sqrt(x) (1,1) Ive never been good with these equations a
Nady [450]
Equation of a tangent line of a curve is:
y- y0 = f´ (x0) (x - x0 ).   In this case: x0=1, y0=1
f´(x)=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x} }(Derivation)
f´(x0)=\frac{1}{2}
y - 1 = 1/2 ( x - 1 )
y - 1 = 1/2 x - 1/2
y = 1/2 x - 1/2 + 1
y =\frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{1}{2}
