According to Scarborough Research, more than 85% of working adults commute by car. Of all U.S. cities, Washington, D.C., and New

York City have the longest commute times. A sample of 25 commuters in the Washington, D.C., area yielded the sample mean commute time of 27.97 minutes and sample standard deviation of 10.04 minutes. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean commute time of all commuters in Washington D.C. area.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean commute time of all commuters in Washington D.C. area is (22.35, 33.59).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Here the population standard deviation (σ) is not provided. So the confidence interval would be computed using the <em>t</em>-distribution.

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) using the <em>t</em>-distribution is:

CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha /2,(n-1)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Given:

\bar x=27.97\\s=10.04\\n=25\\t_{\alpha /2, (n-1)}=t_{0.01/2, (25-1)}=t_{0.005, 24}=2.797

*Use the <em>t</em>-table for the critical value.

Compute the 99% confidence interval as follows:

CI=27.97\pm 2.797\times\frac{10.04}{\sqrt{25}}\\=27.97\pm5.616\\=(22.354, 33.586)\\\approx(22.35, 33.59)

Thus, the 99% confidence interval for the mean commute time of all commuters in Washington D.C. area is (22.35, 33.59).

Consider the provided phrase.

Four times the sum of five and a number

Let the number is n and the sum of five and a number can be written as:

n+5

Thus, four times the sum of five and a number can be written as:

4(n+5)

Hence, the required expression is 4(n+5).

What is phrase in math?

In mathematics, we may use a phrase to describe an expression. When we describe an expression in words that incorporates a variable, we are doing so by using an algebraic expression. An example of this may be the phrase "greater than" (an expression with a variable).

run the numbers. to conduct a rational analysis of an issue. You can do the math because I was the last person to depart yesterday night and the first person to arrive this morning, and since only the overweight security guy was present. on April 7, 2005, by Dave L. Flag.

Coordinate plane with triangle EFG with E at 0 comma 5, F at 1 comma 1, and G at negative 2 comma 1. Point H at 1 comma 1 is on
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Triangle EFG is dilated by a scale factor of 2 centered at (0, 2) to create triangle E'F'G'. Which statement is true about the dilation?

segment EG ≅ segment E prime G prime.

The slope of segment EF is the same as the slope of segment E prime H prime.

segment H prime F prime will overlap segment HF.

segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation.

<u>Alg I</u>

  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3x - 4y = 7

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Add 4y to both sides:          3x = 4y + 7
  2. Divide 3 on both sides:        x = (4y + 7)/3

If (k+1), 3k, (4k+2) are three consecutive terms of an AP then k = ?​
seropon [69]

The three consecutive terms in an AP are (k+1) ,3k and (4k+2)

We know that

If a,b,c are the three consecutive terms in an AP then b = (a+c)/2

now ,

Let a = k+1 , b = 3k and c = 4k+2

⇛3k = (k+1+4k+2)/2

⇛3k = (5k+3)/2

⇛2×3k = 5k+3

⇛6k = 5k+3

⇛ 6k-5k = 3

⇛ k = 3

The value of k = 3
