A random sample of 100 automobile owners in thestate of Virginia shows that an automobile is driven onaverage 23,500 kilometers

per year with a standard deviationof 3900 kilometers. Assume the distribution ofmeasurements to be approximately normal.(a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the averagenumber of kilometers an automobile is drivenannually in Virginia.(b) What can we assert with 99% confidence about thepossible size of our error if we estimate the averagenumber of kilometers driven by car owners inVirginia to be 23,500 kilometers per year

Answer:

a) 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3

b)  With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 23500 kilometers per year

Standard deviation (σ) = 3900 kilometers

Confidence level (c) = 99% = 0.99

number of samples (n) = 100

a) α = 1 - c = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

\frac{\alpha }{2} =\frac{0.01}{2}=0.005\\ z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=z_{0.005}=2.57

Using normal distribution table, z_{0.005 is the z value of 1 - 0.005 = 0.995 of the area to the right which is 2.57.

The margin of error (e) is given as:

e= z_{0.005}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  = 2.57*\frac{3900}{\sqrt{100} } =1002.3

The 99% confidence interval = (μ - e, μ + e) = (23500 - 1002.3, 23500 + 1002.3) =  (22497.7, 24502.3)

Confidence interval = 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3

b) With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3

Which ordered pair represents the solution to the system of equations? {−5x+7y=−196x−2y=10
k0ka [10]
Answer:
x = 1
y = -2

Explanation:
First, solve for x by subtracting 7y from both sides of the first equation and then divide both sides by -5.

-5x + 7y = -19
-5x + 7y - 7y = -19 - 7y
-5x = -19 - 7y
-5x/ -5 = -19 - 7y/ -5
x = -19 - 7y/ -5

Next, substitute the value of x into the second equation and solve.

6 - (-19 - 7y)/ 5 - 2y = 10
- 6(-19 - 7y)/ 5 - 2y = 10

Then, solve for y

- 6(-19 - 7y)/ 5 - 2y = 10
-6(-19 - 7y) - 10y = 50
114 + 42y - 10y = 50
144 + 32y = 50
32y = 50 - 144
32y = -64
32y/ 32 = -64/ 32
y = -2

Finally, substitute the value of y into the x value we found earlier and solve

x = - 19 - 7y/ 5
x = - 19 - 7 • -2/ 5
x = 1

She decides to change the length of the top of the top of the trapezoid shaped garden from 32 to 24 ft. Which expression finds t
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

<h3>The change in the scale factor is \frac{3}{4} ft</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sienna planned a trapezoid-shaped garden.

And She decides to change the length of the top of the trapezoid-shaped garden from 32 ft to 24 ft.

Let Old length of the top be 32 ft

Let New length of the top be 24 ft

Scale factor =\frac{New length}{old length}

Scale factor = \frac{24}{32}

=\frac{3}{4} ft

<h3>∴ the change in the scale factor is \frac{3}{4} ft</h3>
