Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the time required to finish a test is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = required to finish a test

u = mean time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 60 minutes

s = 10 minutes

We want to find the probability that a student will finish the test between 50 and 60 minutes. It is expressed as

P(50 ≤ x ≤ 60)

For x = 50

z = (50 - 60)/10 = - 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.1587

For x = 60

z = (60 - 60)/10 = 0

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.5

Therefore,

P(50 ≤ x ≤ 60) = 0.5 - 0.1587 = 0.3413

A product comes in cans labeled "38 oz". A random sample of 10 cans had the following weights:
KiRa [710]

Answer:

b. 35.9, 39.1 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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 means 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.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

barX=37.465 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=2.27 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

barX +- t*[(s)/(sqrt{n))]   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9

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 value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that t_(alpha/2)=2.26

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

37.465-2.26[(2.27)/(sqrt{10))]=35.9    

37.465+2.26[(2.27)/(sqrt{10))]=39.1

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (35.9;39.1)
