Answer:
B the range, the x- and y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
the domain stays the same : all values of x are possible out of the interval (-infinity, +infinity).
but the range changes, as for the original function y could only have positive values - even for negative x.
the new function has a first term (with b) that can get very small for negative x, and then a subtraction of 2 makes the result negative.
the y-intercept (x=0) of the original function is simply y=1, as b⁰=1.
the y-intercept of the new function is definitely different, because the first term 3×(b¹) is larger than 3, because b is larger than 1. and a subtraction of 2 leads to a result larger than 1, which is different to 1.
the original function has no x-intercept (y=0), as this would happen only for x = -infinity. and that is not a valid value.
the new function has an x-intercept, because the y-values (range) go from negative to positive numbers. any continuous function like this must therefore have an x-intercept (again, y = the function result = 0)
Answer:
Therefore, the sampling distribution of 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 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
A sample of 250 legal professionals was surveyed, and the sample's mean response was 9 hours.
The sample size is
The sample mean is
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
The sample standard deviation would be
Where is the population standard deviation and n is the sample size.
Therefore, the sampling distribution of 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
Where the margin of error is given by
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
So the required 95% confidence interval is
The 95% interval estimate of the population mean is
LCL = 7.431 hours to UCL = 10.569 hours
