What is five times as many as 7

The manager of a grocery store has taken a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took these 100 customer

Answer:

$4-2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=3.767$

$4+2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=4.233$

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (3.767;4.233)

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".

$\bar X=4$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=1$ represent the population standard deviation

n=100 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

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

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of $\alpha=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.326$

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

$4-2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=3.767$

$4+2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=4.233$

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (3.767;4.233)

Solve 5y'' + 3y' – 2y = 0, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 2.8 y(t) = 0 Preview

Answer: The required solution is

$y(t)=-\dfrac{7}{3}e^{-t}+\dfrac{7}{3}e^{\frac{1}{5}t}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following differential equation :

$5y^{\prime\prime}+3y^\prime-2y=0,~~~~~~~y(0)=0,~~y^\prime(0)=2.8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Let us consider that

$y=e^{mt}$ be an auxiliary solution of equation (i).

Then, we have

$y^prime=me^{mt},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mt}.$

Substituting these values in equation (i), we get

$5m^2e^{mt}+3me^{mt}-2e^{mt}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (5m^2+3y-2)e^{mt}=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5m^2+3m-2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mt}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow 5m^2+5m-2m-2=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5m(m+1)-2(m+1)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m+1)(5m-1)=0\\\\\Rightarrow m+1=0,~~~~~5m-1=0\\\\\Rightarrow m=-1,~\dfrac{1}{5}.$

So, the general solution of the given equation is

$y(t)=Ae^{-t}+Be^{\frac{1}{5}t}.$

Differentiating with respect to t, we get

$y^\prime(t)=-Ae^{-t}+\dfrac{B}{5}e^{\frac{1}{5}t}.$

According to the given conditions, we have

$y(0)=0\\\\\Rightarrow A+B=0\\\\\Rightarrow B=-A~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

and

$y^\prime(0)=2.8\\\\\Rightarrow -A+\dfrac{B}{5}=2.8\\\\\Rightarrow -5A+B=14\\\\\Rightarrow -5A-A=14~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{Uisng equation (ii)}]\\\\\Rightarrow -6A=14\\\\\Rightarrow A=-\dfrac{14}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow A=-\dfrac{7}{3}.$
