A class survey in a large class for first-year college students asked, “About how many minutes do you study on a typical weeknig

ht?” The mean response of the 463 students was = 118 minutes with a standard deviation of 65 minutes in the population of all first-year students at this university. Create a 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first-year students. Assume all necessary assumptions and conditions apply given the large sample size. Interpret your interval in context.

Answer:  (110.22, 125.78)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the population mean is given by :-

\mu\ \pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size = 463

\mu=118\text{ minutes}

\sigma=65\text{ minutes}

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.99=0.01

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=\pm2.576

We assume that the population is normally distributed.

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean will be :-

118\ \pm\ 2.576\times\dfrac{65}{\sqrt{463}} \\\\\approx118\pm7.78=(118-7.78\ ,\ 118+7.78)=(110.22,\ 125.78)

Hence, 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first-year students = (110.22, 125.78)

Two types of defects are observed in the production of integrated circuit boards. It is estimated that 6% of the boards have sol
aalyn [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.09

(b) 0.06

(c) 0.0018

(d) 0.9118

(e) 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>A</em> = boards have solder defects and <em>B</em> = boards have surface defects.

The proportion of boards having solder defects is, P (A) = 0.06.

The proportion of boards having surface-finish defects is, P (B) = 0.03.

It is provided that the events A and B are independent, i.e.

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

(a)

Compute the probability that either a solder defect or a surface-finish defect or both are found as follows:

= P (A or B) + P (A and B)

=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B)\\=P(A)+P(B)\\=0.06+0.03\\=0.09

Thus, the probability that either a solder defect or a surface-finish defect or both are found is 0.09.

(b)

The probability that a solder defect is found is 0.06.

(c)

The probability that both defect are found is:

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)\\=0.06\times0.03\\=0.0018

Thus, the probability that both defect are found is 0.0018.

(d)

The probability that none of the defect is found is:

P(A^{c}\cup B^{c})=1-P(A\cup B)\\=1-P(A)-P(B)+P(A\cap B)\\=1-P(A)-P(B)+[P(A)\times P(B)]\\=1-0.06-0.03+(0.06\times0.03)\\=0.9118

Thus, the probability that none of the defect is found is 0.9118.

(e)

The probability that the defect found is a surface finish is 0.03.

F(x)= -2x^2<br>what is the vertex of this and/or how do you find the vertex??​
Doss [256]

Answer:

(0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x value of vertex = -b/2a

ax^2+bx+c

-2x^2+0x+0 sinc you have no value of b & c in your quadratic function

-b = 0

2a = (2)(-2)

-b/2a = (0/-4) = 0

x value of the vertex = 0

plug 0 in for all values of x in the function to find y coordinate value

-2(0)^2 = 0

(x,y) = (0,0)
