The 2008 Workplace Productivity Survey, commissioned by LexisNexis and prepared by WorldOne Research, included the question, "Ho

w many hours do you work at your job on a typical workday?" Let X = the number of hours a legal professional works on a typical workday. Imagine that X is normally distributed with a known standard deviation of 12.6. A sample of 250 legal professionals was surveyed, and the sample's mean response was 9 hours. Use the sample information to estimate mu , the mean number of hours a legal professional works on a typical workday. The sampling distribution of X bar is normal with a mean equal to the unknown population mean and a standard deviation of 0.7969. The 95% interval estimate of the population mean mu is LCL = _____ to UCL = _____.

Answer:

Therefore, the sampling distribution of \bar{x} is normal with a mean equal to 9 hours and a standard deviation of 0.7969 hours.

The 95% interval estimate of the population mean \mu is

LCL = 7.431 hours to UCL = 10.569 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of hours a legal professional works on a typical workday. Imagine that X is normally distributed with a known standard deviation of 12.6.

The population standard deviation is  

\sigma = 12.6 \: hours

A sample of 250 legal professionals was surveyed, and the sample's mean response was 9 hours.

The sample size is

n = 250

The sample mean is  

\bar{x} = 9 \: hours  

Since the sample size is quite large then according to the central limit theorem, the sample mean is approximately normally distributed.

The population mean would be the same as the sample mean that is

 \mu = \bar{x} = 9 \: hours

The sample standard deviation would be  

$ s = {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  $

Where   is the population standard deviation and n is the sample size.

$ s = {\frac{12.6}{\sqrt{250} }  $

s = 0.7969 \: hours

Therefore, the sampling distribution of \bar{x} is normal with a mean equal to 9 hours and a standard deviation of 0.7969 hours.

The population mean confidence interval is given by

\text {confidence interval} = \mu \pm MoE\\\\

Where the margin of error is given by

$ MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) $ \\\\

Where n is the sampling size, s is the sample standard deviation and  is the t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level.

The t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level is

Significance level = α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 250 - 1 = 249

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 249

t-score = 1.9695

MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\MoE = 1.9695\cdot \frac{12.6}{\sqrt{250} } \\\\MoE = 1.9695\cdot 0.7969\\\\MoE = 1.569\\\\

So the required 95% confidence interval is

\text {confidence interval} = \mu \pm MoE\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 9 \pm 1.569\\\\\text {LCI } = 9 - 1.569 = 7.431\\\\\text {UCI } = 9 + 1.569 = 10.569

The 95% interval estimate of the population mean \mu is

LCL = 7.431 hours to UCL = 10.569 hours

Which statement best describes the function h(t) = 210 – 15t? h is the function name; h(t) is the input, or independent variable
vazorg [7]
<span>The function h(t) = 210 – 15t has the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line.  The y-intercept represents the amount h at the very beginning (when t=0).  The negative slope (-15) represents the amount by  which h will decrease if t is increased by 1.

We are manipulating the value of time, t, so time, t, is the independent variable, and h(t) = y is the dependent variable.</span>

Answer: -x

step-by-step explanation:

convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 125/6 = 77/6

77/6x-14x+1/6x

77/6x-14x+1/6x = -1 times x

= 1 times x

multiply 1 times x = x

= x

y = 1x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\\frac{1-(-4)}{2-(-3)}\\\frac{1+4}{2+3}\\\frac{5}{5}=1\\y=1x+b\\1=1(2)+b\\1 = 2 + b\\-1 = b\\y = 1x-1
