A study was conducted in order to estimate μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home. Suppose a

random sample of 81 U.S. adults gives a mean weekly computer usage time of 8.5 hours and that from prior studies, the population standard deviation is assumed to be σ = 3.6 hours. Based on this information, what would be the point estimate for μ?

Answer:

The point estimate for \mu is 8.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

In this problem

We are working with a sample of 81 adults, so the point estimae of the mean  is the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home.

So, the point estimate for \mu is 8.5 hours.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 2 point baskets made and y be the number of 3 point baskets made

:

1) x + y = 26

:

2) 2x + 3y = 60

:

solve equation 1 for x and substitute in equation 2

:

x = 26 - y

:

2(26 - y) +3y = 60

:

52 -2y +3y = 60

:

y = 8

:

x = 26 - 8 = 18

:

A circle has centre (3,0) and radius 5. The line y = 2x + k intersects the circle in two points. Find the set
lara [203]

A circle with center (3,0) and radius 5 has equation

(x-3)^2+y^2=25 \iff x^2 + y^2- 6 x  = 16

If we substitute y=2x+k in this equation, we have

x^2+(2x+k)^2-6x=16 \iff 5x^2+(4k-6)x+k^2-16=0

This equation has two solutions (i.e. the line intersects the circle in two points) if and only if the determinant is greater than zero:

\Delta=b^2-4ac=(4k-6)^2-4\cdot 5\cdot (k^2-16)>0

The expression simplifies to

-4 (k^2 + 12 k - 89)>0 \iff k^2 + 12 k - 89

The solutions to the associated equation are

k^2 + 12 k - 89=0 \iff k=-6\pm 5\sqrt{5}

So, the parabola is negative between the two solutions:

-6-5\sqrt{5}
