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 is the equation of a line that passes through the points (1,4) and (-1,1)
horsena [70]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 3/2x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this line, start by using the two points with the slope formula to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 1)/(1 - -1)

m = 3/(1 + 1)

m = 3/2

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 3/2(x - 1)

y - 4 = 3/2x - 3/2

y = 3/2x + 5/2

How do I divide numbers by using long division. <br>​
Vsevolod [243]

The only rule to follow is

Divide dividend by divisor and the mention the quotient and things left after remains in place of remainder

Here is a sample

\sf\Large\qquad\quad16\\ \begin{array}{cc} \cline{2 - 2}\sf 20 )&\sf \ 327\\&\sf - 20 \downarrow\\ \cline{2-2}& \sf \ \ \ \ 127\\ &\sf \ - 120 \\ \cline{2-2} & \sf \ \007 \\ \cline{2-2} \end{array}\\\\\\ \sf Divisor \rightarrow 20 \\ \\ \sf Quotient \rightarrow 16\\\\ \sf Remainder \rightarrow 7

Solve 3x2 + 4x = 2. TEACH me how to solve this.. I know what to do once I have it in the right forum... but I do not understand
sertanlavr [38]
So if it is 3x^2+4x=2 then
set one side to zero
subtract 2 from both sides
3x^2+4x-2=0
this is not factorable by normal means so use quadratic formula which is if you have the equation in ax^2+bx+c=0 form you can solve for x if you put it into this equation quadratic formula x=\frac{-b+ \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} or  \frac{-b- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} so if you were to input it into this equation you would get
a=3
b=4
c=-2

the solution is x= \frac{-2+ \sqrt{10} }{3} or \frac{-2- \sqrt{10} }{3}
the answer is  C

I don't understand how to solve this pls help
Charra [1.4K]

the sine function is a many-to-one function and therefore has no inverse function.

However if the domain is restricted to -90° ≤ x ≤ 90°

Then the function is one-to-one for this domain

Thus, sin^{-1} x is defined as the angle such that - π/2 ≤ x ≤ π/2

5π/6 is therefore outwith the domain

Jones assembles 200 relays in the same time that Smith assembles 180. When Jones has completed 300 relays, how many will Smith h
Finger [1]

Answer:

270

Step-by-step explanation:

Jones turns out 200 relays to Smith's 180. You set up that basic ratio and make a proportion out of it.

S/J = 180/200

Now you make your proportion

S/J = x/300

But the 2 ratios much remain the same.

180/200 = x / 300                  Multiply both sides by 300

180*300/200 = x                    Multiply the numerator together.

54000/200 = x                       Do the division

270 = x

Smith will have turned out 270 relays.
