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

What is the length of segment BC. ( ) units
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

BC = 144 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a line segment BC.

D is the point on the line segment.

<u>To find the length of BC</u>

BC = 8x

CD = 3x + 8  and BD = 4x + 10

BC = CD + BD

8x = 3x + 8 + 4x + 10

8x = 7x + 18

x = 18

BC = 8x = 8 * 18 = 144 units

Therefore the length of segment BC = 144 units

The leg of a right triangle is 3 units and the hypotenuse is 6 units. What is the length, in units, of the other leg of the tria
svetlana [45]

Answer:

a. rad27

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use a2+b2=c2 where c is the hypotonuse.

we plug in 3^2+b2=6^2

9+b^2=36

b^2=27

then do a rad over each to get rid of the ^2 on the b

b=rad 27

answer is rad27
