In a random sample of 8 people, the mean commute time to work was 36.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.4 minutes. A 98%

confidence interval using the t-distribution was calculated to be (28.7,44.3). After researching commute times to work, it was found that the population standard deviation is 8.7 minutes. Find the margin of error and construct a 98% confidence interval using the standard normal distribution with the appropriate calculations for a standard deviation that is known. Compare the results.The margin of error of u is ___A 98% confidence interval using the standard normal distribution is (__,__)Compare the results. Choose the correct answer below.a. the confidence interval found using the standard normal distribution has smaller lower and upper confidence interval limitsb. the confidence interval found using the standard normal distribution is wider than the confidence interval found using the students t-distributionc. the confidence interval found using the standard noraml distribution is the same as the confidence interval found using the students t-distributiond. the confidence interval found using the standard normal distrubution is narrower than the confidence interval found using the students t-distribution

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Sample size = n = 8: sample mean = 36.5 and s = sample std dev = 7.4 minutes

98% CI using t = (28.7, 44.3) with margin of error as 7.8

Now if sigma = population std dev is known we use Z critical value

Margin of error = 2.33*8.7/\sqrt 8 = 7.167

CI = (36.5 ±7.167)

This is not wider than that used using t distribution

The margin of error of u is ___7.167

98% confidence interval using the standard normal distribution is (29.333__,43.667__)

d)the confidence interval found using the standard normal distrubution is narrower than the confidence interval found using the students t-distribution

The produce market is having a sale on grapes and oranges. A customer found the following two receipts in her cart as she was wa
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first receipt:

2 pounds of grapes + 4 pounds of oranges = 10.70 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:

2g + 4o = 10.70

From the second receipt:

3 pounds of grapes + 2 pounds of oranges = 9.65 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:

3g + 2o = 9.65

Putting those together into a system and solving using the elimination method:

2g + 4o = 10.7

3g + 2o = 9.65

I am going to eliminate the oranges first since it's easier to do that. I will multiply the second equation by -2 to get a new system:

2g + 4o = 10.7

-6g - 4o = -19.3

As you can see, the oranges are eliminated because 4o - 4o = 0o. That leaves us with only the grapes:

-4g = -8.6 so

g = 2.15

Grapes cost $2.15 per pound. Now sub that into either one of the original equations to solve for the cost per pound of oranges:

2(2.15) + 4o = 10.7 and

4.3 + 4o = 10.7 and

4o = 6.4 so

o = 1.60

Oranges cost $1.60 per pound. That is choice D from your list.

In Exercise,find the horizontal asymptote of the graph of the function.<br> f(x) = 8x^3+2/2x^3+x
KIM [24]

Answer:

Horizontal asymptote of the graph of the function f(x) = (8x^3+2)/(2x^3+x) is at  y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached the graph of the function.

Graphically, it can be seen that the horizontal asymptote of the graph of the function is at y=4. There is also a <em>vertical </em>asymptote at x=0

When denominator's degree (3) is the same as the nominator's degree (3) then the horizontal asymptote is at (numerator's leading coefficient (8) divided by denominator's lading coefficient (2))  y=\frac{8}{2}=4
