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

11 times a number increased by 2 is the same as 6 more than 9 times the number. Find the number.
7nadin3 [17]
11x+2 = 9x+6. Subtract 2 from both sides. 11x = 9x+6. subtract 9x from both sides. 2x = 4, divide both sides by 2. x = 2. Substitute the x with 2 and check to see it it works. The numbers should equal each other.

How do i multiply fractions with whole numbers (e.g. 20 2/6 x 6 3/6)?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you change it to an improper fraction for example 20 2/6x6 3/6

you gotta multiply the 6 in the 20 2/6 by 20 then add the 2 so it would be 122/6 do the same for the other and then you have 39/6 then multiply 122/6x39/6
