A quality analyst of a tennis racquet manufacturing plant investigates if the length of a junior's tennis racquet conforms to th

e standards. He randomly selects twenty racquets and obtains the following lengths: 21, 25, 23, 22, 24, 21, 25, 21, 23, 26, 21, 24, 22, 24, 23, 21, 21, 26, 23, 24 Assume that lengths of tennis racquets are normally distributed. Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the mean length of all the junior's tennis racquets manufactured at this plant.

Answer:

The  99.9% confidence interval for the mean length of all the junior's tennis racquets manufactured at this plant is [21.7958,24.2042].

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is

21, 25, 23, 22, 24, 21, 25, 21, 23, 26, 21, 24, 22, 24, 23, 21, 21, 26, 23, 24

Mean of the data set is

Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}

\overline{x}=\frac{21+25+23+22+24+21+25+21+23+26+21+24+22+24+23+21+21+26+23+24}{20}

\overline{x}=23

Sample mean of the data is 23.

Standard deviation of population is

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (x-\overline{x})^2}{n}}

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{56}{20}}

\sigma\approx 1.673

Assume that lengths of tennis racquets are normally distributed.

The value of z is 3.219 at 99.9% confidence interval .

We need to find the 99.9% confidence interval for the mean length of all the junior's tennis racquets manufactured at this plant.

Interval=\overline{x}\pm z*\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Interval=23\pm 3.219\cdot \frac{1.673}{\sqrt{20}}

Interval=23\pm 1.2042

Interval=[23-1.2042,23+1.2042]

Interval=[21.7958,24.2042]

Therefore the  99.9% confidence interval for the mean length of all the junior's tennis racquets manufactured at this plant is [21.7958,24.2042].

Answer:

Confidence interval : 21.506 to 24.493

Step-by-step explanation:

A quality analyst selects twenty racquets and obtains the following lengths:

21, 25, 23, 22, 24, 21, 25, 21, 23, 26, 21, 24, 22, 24, 23, 21, 21, 26, 23, 24

So, sample size = n =20

Now we are supposed to find Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the mean length of all the junior's tennis racquets manufactured at this plant.

Since n < 30

So we will use t-distribution

Confidence level = 99.9%

Significance level = α = 0.001

Now calculate the sample mean

X=21, 25, 23, 22, 24, 21, 25, 21, 23, 26, 21, 24, 22, 24, 23, 21, 21, 26, 23, 24

Sample mean = \bar{x}=\frac{\sum x}{n}

Sample mean = \bar{x}=\frac{21+25+23+22+24+21+25+21+23+ 26+ 21+24+22+ 24+23+21+ 21+ 26+23+ 24}{20}

Sample mean = \bar{x}=23

Sample standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}

Sample standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{(21-23)^2+(25-23)^2+(23-23)^2+(22-23)^2+(24-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(25-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(23-23)^2+(26-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(24-23)^2+(22-23)^2+(24-23)^2+(23-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(21-23)^2+(26-23)^2+(23-23)^2+(24-23)^2}{20-1}}

Sample standard deviation= s = 1.72

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 20-1 -19

Critical value of t using the t-distribution table t_{\frac{\alpha}{2} = 3.883

Formula of confidence interval : \bar{x} \pm t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Substitute the values in the formula

Confidence interval : 23 \pm 1.73 \times \frac{1.72}{\sqrt{20}}

Confidence interval : 23 -3.883 \times \frac{1.72}{\sqrt{20}} to 23 + 3.883 \times \frac{1.72}{\sqrt{20}}

Confidence interval : 21.506 to 24.493

Hence Confidence interval : 21.506 to 24.493

Laketown had 215 inches of snowfall last year, but only 155 inches this year. What was the percent decrease in snowfall for Lake
skelet666 [1.2K]
Okay, so FIRST you would subtract 215 - 155, which is 60, and THEN divide it by 215, so 60 divided by 215 = 0.27, and rounded that is 0.28, then you move the decimal two places to the right to make it a percentage so your answer would be A., 28%

The sum of two numbers is 99 and the difference is 13. Use a system of two equations and two variables to solve and find the two
andriy [413]

Answer:

56 and 43

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+13)+x = 99

2x+13 = 99

2x = 99-13

2x = 86

x = 86/2

x = 43

Smaller number = 43

Larger number is 56

Check

56-43 = 13

56+43 = 99
