Answer:

\bar X = \frac{461.2+598.6}{2}=529.9

ME= \frac{Width}{2}= \frac{137.4}{2}= 68.7

The margin of error is given by:

ME = t_{\alpha/2} SE

For 95% of confidence the value of the significance is \alpha =0.05 and \alpha/2 = 0.025, the degrees of freedom are given by:

df = 12-1 = 11

And then we can calculate the critical value for 95% with df = 11 and we got t_{\alpha}= 2.20

And then we can find the standard error:

SE = \frac{ME}{t_{\alpha/2}}= \frac{68.7}{2.20}= 31.227

t_{\alpha/2}= 3.11

And using the confidence interval formula we got:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2} SE

529.9 - 3.11*31.227 = 432.784

529.9 + 3.11*31.227 = 627.016

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 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

For the 95% confidence interval we know that the result is given by (461.2, 598.6), we can estimate the sample mean like this:

\bar X = \frac{461.2+598.6}{2}=529.9

Because the distribution is symmetrical, now we can estimate the width of the interval like this:

Width = 598.6-461.2= 137.4

And the margin of error is given by:

ME= \frac{Width}{2}= \frac{137.4}{2}= 68.7

The margin of error is given by:

ME = t_{\alpha/2} SE

For 95% of confidence the value of the significance is \alpha =0.05 and \alpha/2 = 0.025, the degrees of freedom are given by:

df = 12-1 = 11

And then we can calculate the critical value for 95% with df = 11 and we got t_{\alpha}= 2.20

And then we can find the standard error:

SE = \frac{ME}{t_{\alpha/2}}= \frac{68.7}{2.20}= 31.227

The standard error is given by SE= \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Now we are interested for the 99% confidence interval, so then we need to find a new critical value for this confidence level and we got:

t_{\alpha/2}= 3.11

And using the confidence interval formula we got:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2} SE

529.9 - 3.11*31.227 = 432.784

529.9 + 3.11*31.227 = 627.016

An assembly line produces 2 toasters per minute. It is 2:00pm and the line has finished 560 out of its goal of 900 for the day.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

I won't stop the line for a half hour break.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

One quantity A is said to be proportional to other B if A can always be obtained by multiplying or dividing B by any constant number. Numbers {4,8,12} are proportional to {2,4,6} because they can be computed as twice their value

.

There is a situation described in the problem where we need to know if there will be enough time to produce the 900 toasters (the goal for the day) when the assembly line is stopped by half an hour.

Actual time: 2:00 pm

Final time: 5:00 pm

Rate of production: 2 toasters/minute

Actual production: 560 toasters

Updated goal: 900-560 = 340 toasters  

Those 340 toasters must be produced in the remaining 3 hours (180 minutes) of work. If the assembly line stops for half an hour (30 minutes), there will be only 150 minutes to finish the goal production. At a rate of 2 toasters/minute, there will be 2*150 = 300 toasters produced. But we need to produce 340 more toasters, so that break cannot be granted or we'll be 40 toasters under goal.

It the line keeps producing for 180 minutes, it would produce 2*180 = 360 toasters, 20 more than the goal.

Note: The maximum break time that can be granted is 20/2 = 10 minutes

David made a triangle with sides 6 cm, 9cm , 12 cm. George wanted to make a triangle bigger in size but similar to that drawn by
SashulF [63]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle XYZ .△ABC∼△XYZ.

AB = 6\:cm, \:BC = 9 \:cm, CA = 12 \:cmAB=6cm,BC=9cm,CA=12cm

Let \: XY = 10\:cm, \:YZ = x \:cm, \: XZ = y /:cmLetXY=10cm,YZ=xcm,XZ=y/:cm

\frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{BC}{x} = \frac{CA}{y}XYAB=xBC=yCA

\blue {( The \: lengths \:of \: corresponding }(Thelengthsofcorresponding

\blue {sides \:are \: proportional .)}sidesareproportional.)

\implies \frac{6}{10} = \frac{9}{x} = \frac{12}{y}⟹106=x9=y12

i) \implies \frac{6}{10} = \frac{9}{x}i)⟹106=x9

\implies x = \frac{9 \times 10}{6}⟹x=69×10

\implies x = 15\:cm⟹x=15cm

ii) \implies \frac{6}{10} = \frac{12}{y}ii)⟹106=y12

\implies y = \frac{12 \times 10}{6}⟹y=612×10

\implies y = 20\:cm⟹y=20cm

Therefore.,

\red { Value \:of \:x } \green { = 15\:cm }Valueofx=15cm

\red { Value \:of \:y } \green { = 20\:cm }Valueofy=20cm
