How heavy a load (pounds) is needed to pull apart pieces of wood 4 inches long and 1.5 inches square? Here are data from student

s doing a laboratory exercise. 33,150 31,890 32,550 26,530 33,250 32,310 32,980 31,990 30,500 32,710 23,020 30,980 32,730 33,610 32,390 24,020 30,140 31,330 28,700 31,910 We are willing to regard the wood pieces prepared for the lab session as an SRS of all similar pieces of wood. Engineers also commonly assume that characteristics of materials vary Normally. Suppose that the strength of pieces of wood like these follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation 3000 pounds.

Answer:

a. (29526.192 , 32155.808)

b. (29673.9301 , 32008.0699)

Step-by-step explanation:

on calculation, we find that sample mean = 30843 and sample standard deviation = 3018.504, and n=20

1)

Sample Mean = 30841

SD = 3000

Sample Size (n) = 20

Standard Error (SE) = SD/root(n) = 670.8204

alpha (a) = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

z critical value for 95% confidence interval:

z(a/2) = z(0.025) = 1.96

Margin of Error (ME) = z(a/2) x SE = 1314.808

95% confidence interval is given by:

Sample Mean +/- (Margin of Error) = 30841 +/- 1314.808

= (29526.192 , 32155.808)

2)when std dev of population is not known, we use sample's, but we have to use t instead of z

Sample Mean = 30841

SD = 3018.504

Sample Size (n) = 20

Standard Error (SE) = SD/root(n) = 674.958

alpha (a) = 1-0.9 = 0.1

we use t-distribution as population standard deviation is unknown

t(a/2, n-1 ) = 1.7291

Margin of Error (ME) = t(a/2,n-1)x SE = 1167.0699

90% confidence interval is given by:

Sample Mean +/- (Margin of Error)

30841 +/- 1167.0699 = (29673.9301 , 32008.0699)

Miguel runs 6 miles in 55 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 44 minutes
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
You can write this in a proportion way: 6/55 = x/44.
Multiply both sides by 11 to get rid of the 55 and 44: 6/5 = x/4
Now, multiply both sides by 20: 5x = 24. x = 4.8

Therefore, he can run 4.8 miles in 44 minutes.

Hi!!
The answer to your question is asking us to  make an algerbraic equation for this situation.
H = 5V
Also, H + V = 52,000. H and V can then be solves by solving the 2 equations.
The results are 43,333 and 8,667

A medical devices company wants to know the number of hours its MRI machines are used per day. A previous study found a standard
4vir4ik [10]

The company has to study 199 machines.

In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.

It is given that;

Margin of error E = 0.7

Confidence interval 98% = 1-0.98 = 0.02

Standard deviation = 6 hours

Number of MRI machines needed per day n, = [(z alpha/2 * SD)/E]²

Z alpha/2 = 1.645 at alpha = 0.1

Inputting these values into n we have that

[(1.645*6)/0.7]²

= 14.1²

= 198.81 is approximately equal to 199

The company has to study 199 machines.

What is the volume (in cubic units) of a sphere with a radius of 18 units? Assume that π = 3.14 and round your answer to the nea
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The volume of sphere is 24416.64\ cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Radius of a sphere is 18 units.

It is required to find the volume of sphere.

The formula of the volume of sphere in terms of radius is given by :

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Plugging all values in above formula

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (18)^3\\\\V=24416.64\ cm^3

So, the volume of sphere is 24416.64\ cm^3.
