The ground temperature at an airport was 10 degree temperature dropped 5 degrees for every 1000m above the ground. What was the

Mamont248 [21]

The ground temperature started at 10 degrees.
The rate was: for every 1000 meters (m) of going above the ground, the temperature dropped 5 degrees, meaning that it got cooler.
The ratio is 1000 meters to 5 degrees
So that would mean: 10-5-5-5-5-5=-15 degrees

The quality control manager of a chemical company randomly sampled twenty 100-pound bags of fertilizer to estimate the variance

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the variance in the pounds of impurities would be $3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$s^2 =6.62$ represent the sample variance

s=2.573 represent the sample standard deviation

$\bar x$ represent the sample mean

n=20 the sample size

Confidence=95% or 0.95

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

2) Calculating the confidence interval

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

On this case the sample variance is given and for the sample deviation is just the square root of the sample variance.

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical values.

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.025,19)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.975,19)". so for this case the critical values are:

$\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=32.852$

$\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=8.907$

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

$\frac{(19)(6.62)}{32.852} \leq \sigma^2 \frac{(19)(6.62)}{8.907}$

$3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$

So the 95% confidence interval for the variance in the pounds of impurities would be $3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$ .

How do you find magnitude of a vector

Otrada [13]

Draw a vector triangle. When you draw the horizontal and vertical components, you end up with a right triangle. The magnitude of the vector is equal to the hypotenuse of the triangle so you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate it. Rearrange the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the magnitude
