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

Rewrite the function by completing the square f(x)=x^2-4x-26
leonid [27]

Answer:

(x - 2)² - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 4x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 - 26 = (x - 2)² - 30

In the diagram below, the perimeter of the triangle is equal to the perimeter of the square. What is the length of a side of the
kondaur [170]

The perimeter of each is the sum of the lengths of its sides.

Triangle Perimeter = 16 + 4x-3 +3x = 7x+13

Square Perimeter = 2x +2x +2x +2x = 8x

If these are equal, you have

7x+13=8x\\\\13=x\qquad \mbox{subtract 7x}\\\\26=2x\qquad \mbox{multiply by 2}

The length of a side of the square is 26 units.

Which of the following is true of rounding the optimized solution of a linear program to an integer?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

the optimized solution of a linear program to an integer as it does not affect the value of the objective function.

As if we round the optimized solution to the nearest integer, it does not change the objective function .

while it is not true that it always produces the most optimal integer solution or feasible solution.

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
