More on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Refer to the previous exercise. (a) In 1918 the lean was 2.9071 meters. (The coded value is 7

1.) Using the least-squares equation for the years 1975 to 1987, calculate a predicted value for the lean in 1918. (Note that you must use the coded value 18 for year.)

Answer:

2.9106

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information of the problem

Year 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87

Lean 642 644 656 667 673 688 696 698 713 717 725 742 757

If you use a linear regressor calculator you find that approximately

$y = 9.318 x - 61.123$

so you just find $x = 18$ and then the predicted value would be 106mm

therefore the predicted value for the lean in 1918 was 2.9106

How are rational functions similar to linear, quadratic, or exponential functions? How are they different? When are these simila

jeyben [28]

Answer:

See explanation below for further details.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational consist of two real numbers such that:

$\frac{a}{b} =c$

If c is a polynomial with a certain grade, then, both the numerator and the denominator must be also polynomials and the grade of the numerator must be greater than denominator.

If c is linear function, that is, a first order polynomial, then a must be a (n+1)-th polynomial and b must be a n-th polynomial.

Example:

If $a = x^{2}$ and $b = x$ , then:

$c = \frac{x^{2}}{x}$

$c = x$

If c is a quadratic function, that is, a second order polynomial, then a must be a (n+1)-th polynomial and b must be a n-th polynomial.

Example

If $a = 3\cdot x^{3}$ and $b = x$ , then:

$c = \frac{3\cdot x^{3}}{x}$

$c = 3\cdot x^{2}$

But if c is an exponential, both the numerator and the denominator must be therefore exponential function and grade of each exponential function must different to the other.

Example

If $a = 10^{2x}$ and $b = 3\cdot 10^x$ , then:

$c = \frac{10^{2\cdot x}}{3\cdot 10^{x}}$

$c = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 10^{2\cdot x -x}$

$c = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 10^x$

Otherwise, c would be equal to a constant function, that is, a polynomial with a grade 0.

If $a = 5\cdot e^{x}$ and $b = -3\cdot e^{x}$ , then:

Example

$c = \frac{5\cdot e^{x}}{-3\cdot e^{x}}$

$c = -\frac{5}{3}$

It is worth to add that exponential functions can be a linear combination of single exponential function, similar to polynomials.

Example

$5\cdot a^2\cdot x -9$

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Therefore, the sampling distribution of $\bar{x}$ is normal with a mean equal to 9 hours and a standard deviation of 0.7969 hours.

The 95% interval estimate of the population mean $\mu$ is

LCL = 7.431 hours to UCL = 10.569 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of hours a legal professional works on a typical workday. Imagine that X is normally distributed with a known standard deviation of 12.6.

The population standard deviation is

$\sigma = 12.6 \: hours$

A sample of 250 legal professionals was surveyed, and the sample's mean response was 9 hours.

The sample size is

$n = 250$

The sample mean is

$\bar{x} = 9 \: hours$

Since the sample size is quite large then according to the central limit theorem, the sample mean is approximately normally distributed.

The population mean would be the same as the sample mean that is

$\mu = \bar{x} = 9 \: hours$

The sample standard deviation would be

$s = {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where is the population standard deviation and n is the sample size.

$s = {\frac{12.6}{\sqrt{250} }$

$s = 0.7969 \: hours$

Therefore, the sampling distribution of $\bar{x}$ is normal with a mean equal to 9 hours and a standard deviation of 0.7969 hours.

The population mean confidence interval is given by

$\text {confidence interval} = \mu \pm MoE\\\\$

Where the margin of error is given by

$$ MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) $ \\\\$

Where n is the sampling size, s is the sample standard deviation and is the t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level.

The t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level is

Significance level = α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 250 - 1 = 249

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 249

t-score = 1.9695

$MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\MoE = 1.9695\cdot \frac{12.6}{\sqrt{250} } \\\\MoE = 1.9695\cdot 0.7969\\\\MoE = 1.569\\\\$

So the required 95% confidence interval is

$\text {confidence interval} = \mu \pm MoE\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 9 \pm 1.569\\\\\text {LCI } = 9 - 1.569 = 7.431\\\\\text {UCI } = 9 + 1.569 = 10.569$

The 95% interval estimate of the population mean $\mu$ is

LCL = 7.431 hours to UCL = 10.569 hours
